We loved our stay at this beautiful bach! It’s a cute two-cabin setup that felt very private and cozy. Having the hot tub and direct beach access was a dream, and the area is just stunning. We really appreciated all the 'little extras' like the beach chairs, shelter, and laundry amenities; they made our stay so much easier. The kitchen was great, and we loved having the BBQ to use. The only minor thing to note is that a slightly larger fridge would have been great, especially if staying longer, but it didn't bother us for our three nights and thinking eco-friendly/solar, etc! Being in a rural spot near the dunes, you should expect some bugs, but that’s just part of the coastal experience. The host provided bus spray and repellent, so no worries! We loved it to pieces and are already trying to find excuses to come back! We can't wait. Thank you for being amazing hosts and welcoming us to your space.

Cabins were a great spot to relax. Tucked away just above the beach and surrounded by the farm. If you enjoy peace and quiet this is the right place

Lovely relaxed setting.

This place is a gem. The location is superb, only a short walk down to the beach which was great for fishing. The cabins are comfy and clean and we loved the covered deck for sitting and admiring the ocean and the sunset. Lynette is an awesome host, friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.

Amazing location

Awesome location- nice place to destress with the family. We were a group of 7; the weather limited outdoor access- if fine it would be superb. It would be amazing for a smaller group or two couples. A definite place to revisit.

beachfront hideaway

This is the place to be if you're looking for privacy. Your closest neighbour is far away on another hilltop. The beach is just a couple of minutes walk away and you have it all to yourself. We'd love to be able to go back there again.
