We stayed at Driftwood Cottage for a week. The house is very well appointed and had almost everything we needed. We enjoyed he outdoor garden and BBQ area too and there was plenty of room for our dog to explore. Access to table tennis and a dart board in the garage was a nice bonus. The home is walking distance to the beach, walking tracks and local shops which made it a terrific holiday for our family.
Extremely clean and tidy. Everything needed to cook all meals was also available :) Perfect place for our first ‘pet friendly’ holiday. Our little fur ball loved it
We really enjoyed our stay at Driftwood. This is a lovely little compact house and great backyard for our dogs. It's set back one street away from the beach and was a really quiet area, so very relaxing. The house was modern and clean. It was great to have the tv with Netflix and we enjoyed the table tennis and darts. The only thing we would have loved to have was a Nespresso coffee pod machine.
