Gorgeous little bach - the location was perfect. Waking up to the beach view was lovely. Close enough to the shop so the kids could walk down and we could see them the whole way. Loved our few days stay - hope to be back soon!

Great little bach

Lovely bach, one delux new bedroom, bed and toilet, the bunk room is sort of internal, with only a high window that opens into that back bedroom, but for us it was perfect. Very very comfortable couch, lounge views were amazing, kitchen had evrything we needed.

Great little bach

We had a great stay, the bach is in a fabulous location and nice place to chill out. However, it needed a good clean - the dishes were grimy, cupboards sticky and there was dust everywhere. I think we left it cleaner than when we arrived!

Lovely spot right on beachfront. Fabulous views. Could do with a thorough clean instead of a superficial one. Furniture dusty and cupboard doors sticky. But enjoyed our stay.
