We went with elderly people so the lighting in the house is quiet dark so it made it hard for them to see medications they were taking. There is a great view to wake up to and a relaxed vibe. ##### Frank Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The location and views are fantastic and the host's Ben and Nadia are terrific.

The location is perfect, right on the esplanade overlooking the bay. Beach straight across the road. The house is clean with plenty of room and several sleeping options. Would definitely stay again. ##### Chris B.

Only one split system AC located in the dining room, but this managed to keep the dining, kitchen and living spaces comfortable and cosy during the cold winter mornings and evenings. It's a pity we didn't have longer to stay. ##### Steven H.

Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alastair S. 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Ruff-Inn-It was far from the reality. The house had everything the two of us needed or wanted. Plus the view was fabulous and plenty of walks in both directions without having to get into the car. Lovely sunsets too. Well stocked with kitchenware etc and set up for fisherfolk which we aren’t. But 200 metres down the road, a fisherman sells at his house. The whiting was very tasty and fresh! ##### Alastair S. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### General Good position. Would be better if improved showers & front deck. We used own BBQ as dirty bbq supplied. Very basic outdoor furniture/entertaining but could be improved. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline H. 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Jacqueline H.
