Very well equipped and very clean, tidy and nicely furnished. Great outdoor deck with cooking facilities. We spent most of our time with nearby family. Good location but you will need a car to access beaches and shops. Thank you for having us to stay. ##### Tony K.

Needs at least one safe holding rail. ##### Michael M.

Communication was clear and frequent. Beds comfy and bathroom clean and tidy. We stayed in winter so couldn't make full use of the outdoor area but would imagine this would be perfect for a summer weekend away ##### Tim This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony 28 Dec 2023 #### Thank you for a wonderful stay Nice and private even though sited at the rear of main property.

I see in some of the reviews some complained about the kitchen area being outside, or the WIFI etc the fact that you go away to another place means you want to get away from day to day living stuff for us it did not matter if the kitchen area is outside, it reminded us of when we went camping when we were still living in South Africa :) and the WIFI didn't bother us in the least we just gave our phones to our little one to watch Netflix in the evenings. I will suggest this place to everyone I know, it is big enough, cozy and near the beach and shops... STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING!!!!!! ##### Pieter &. ### 6/10 Okay #### HARRY W. 17 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### No kitchen or wifi and difficult shower. No indoor cooking or eating facilities. This lack of kitchen dominated our stay. Having to go outside to make coffee in the morning was inconvenient and cold. No wifi was also a surprise. Shower was very difficult to get in and out of. All else was good. ##### HARRY W.

The outside gas heater provided made it a really cosy way to spend the evening. The beds and furniture were really comfortable. Very quiet area. It is a great place to stay. ##### Annette Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex A. 25 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely place, Clean and great communication Lovely place, nice outdoor decking environment, great communication and smooth booking process. I did not notice it is attached to the landlord's place and separated by a glass door, but they were nice people. Also, read it on the reviews that there is no cooktop and only the BBQ outside which was pretty handy. Overall great experience and highly recommend for a family or small group. ##### Alex A.

The only thing that did not meet expectations was there was no indoor kitchen. Under amenities both kitchen and kitchenette were listed, however there was only a BBQ, Toaster, fridge and microwave with no real cooking facilities, hot plates or oven. ##### Therese S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chrissy L. 22 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Stay Highly enjoyed our stay utilising the beautiful back yard.
