The weather rained on an off but there was still plenty of space to spread out with a toddler and a 9 month old. Perfect house for family’s and we have made lots of memories so thank you ❤️ ##### Samara K.

Very well appointed. The kitchen a dream for prep when two teenage boys focussed on nutrition and cooking their own meals need to operate in the kitchen at same time as adults. The additional fridge/freezer in the garage a godsend along with the air conditioning. The covered verandah made for very pleasant afternoon cocktail and dinner hour, while the bistro table and chairs outside the kitchen became a favourite spot for the teens to enjoy eating out of the way of the adults. Will definitely stay again. ##### Amelia C.

This Bach is well worth booking, all the comfort of your home away from home here and with a wrap around deck which can be used all year round. The bird song and hearing the waves from the Bach was magical. I loved the special touch to welcome us to the Bach. The location was perfect, with beach access not far away and a nice walk to the 4 square. A great quiet grove. Just arrive and relax. ##### Lisa M. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ---
