The unit was quiet, warm, clean, and roomy . There was everything we needed to enjoy a nights accommodation . Our host had already put the heater on before we arrived as the temperature had dropped .

The room quite big, clean and tidy. The only negative thing the room doesn't have an aircon but they provide a fan. We only stay for a nite, so not really a big deal. Other than that it was lovely to stay here.

Nice location, beach access through back gate and a park for the littlies. Looking a bit tired, could do with a new bathroom and double glazing to stop all the condensation. Also the Sky TV wasn't set up properly, one channel had no sound. Channel numbers all over the show! Surrounding grounds were tidy and plenty of parking.

Older style property but kept clean and tidy and had all amenities claimed. Good safe parking. Easy access to beach once railway crossed. Mountain views were somewhat obscured from unit windows but stunning in the morning if you made the effort. Generally quiet apart from train in middle of night, although surf was low (single glazing so very little sound proofing if you sleep lightly). Would stay again if price right.
