### 6/10 Okay

#### Catch the breeze

Good location on the hillside with short walk into town or to the beach...fairly strenuous walk back up the hill. View to the pier from the lounge and the deck is great. Comfortably appointed, clean and good kitchen equipment but lacks dishwasher which is not what we want when on holiday! Renovated this year to provide another room but still only one shared bathroom and no en-suite.
