Bathroom is one of the highlights although odd-sized bath that is more of an over-sized shower tray. My only criticism would be that the furniture in the lounge is more like garden furniture than a proper couch you can curl up on for the night and that the house comes without many basic household items e.g bath-mat ##### Antony B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodie 20 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Our family with 2 Whippet dogs stayed 4 nights in this lovely home. The bedrooms are roomy, beds very comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen. We arrived a day after a big storm and power was out for a few hours, we were so happy to have the BBQ for cooking that evening! The nespresso milk frother didn't work (we reported this) but it wasn't too necessary. The yard is large, the side gate is hip-high (the only worry for any dog owners I think). We didn't have any problems with our dogs wanting to jump the side gate, probably as the gate is in line with the back of the house, not the front of the house where they would see people walking past with dogs. Dutchies beach is an easy walk, with no rough waves! The lounges are uncomfortable- that is my only criticism of the place. Otherwise, lovely house! ##### Jodie Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian K. 12 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly recommended holiday stay The location and condition of the home were excellent. Everything was catered for. Having had a self catering cottage in South Africa, we were very impressed and dog friendly May I suggest two things. Replace the kitchen mixer tap. It is very stiff to operate and is leaking Also the shower is constantly dripping into the bath. Very minor issues but I thought you might like to be advised about them. We would highly recommend the house to our family and friends Thank you. Brian, Trix and Sprocket Krumm ##### Brian K.

Minor faults/problems include: 1\. The rear door is difficult to lock and required adjustment. 2\. The only unpleasanr tiem was an odour of what smelt like stale urine, and pesisted no matter how may times we mopped all wet area fllors and deodorised all rooms. Someone told us it may rwesuklt from a nearby sewage treatement facility, o4r pehaops faulty plumbing albeit all plumbing seem to worrk correctly but unsure of drainage. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary L. 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location easy access.

Negative: if you have a dog that is larger or an escape artist, you will probably find you will not be able to contain it in the back yard of this property. ##### Louise Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle M. 1 Feb 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great Location but needs a deep clean The property is set in a great location, a few minutes walk from Dutchies beach and the dog friendly Bagnalls Beach. There is also a lovely 20 minutes walk into the d'Albora Marinas. However the property really needs a deep clean and dusting, for example stained bedspread and lounges. Another issue is we encountered a lot of cockroaches within the property so it really needs pest control. The property itself is lovely and if the issues above were addressed it would be a great place to stay. ##### Michelle M.
