It was quite basic with an outdoor cooking area (which didn't bother us because we weren't cooking there) but might if you stayed any length of time. The veranda, garden and views were lovely, and the host kind and friendly. A little overpriced for what you get. ##### Peta J.

The beach access takes you to a secluded section of beach, the path is pretty steep in places so it wouldn't be easy to navigate with mobility issues but otherwise it's not very far and very convenient. The accommodation itself was modern and tidy and the beds are comfortable. There is also a dog named Rosie who is very cute! Thanks for the great stay! ##### Arlo P.

The unit sleeps for all in all). The kitchen was stuffed with almost everything necessary and it was a great experience to all cooking outside on the shaded veranda (induction cooker and gas grill).Janice and her family gave us a very warm welcome. She herself is very attentive. There is only 1 negative fact to mention: The very steep path down to the beach. For me, unfortunuately rather old and handicapped, it was undoable and I had to let the pleasure to go swimming in the bay to the younger ones Thank you Janice and Derek.

Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catriona E. 4 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Views and relaxing We had a wonderful week at this little batch. Our teen son enjoyed the space in the living room to claim as his own and we enjoyed the private large master bedroom with breathtaking views. I read another comment describing it as a basement flat and this was helpful as I knew it wasn’t detached and we were prepared for main house sounds (just the occasional walking up and down stairs). It was so peaceful, loved picking the fruit, walk to the beach or a quick drive to any of the other many stunning beaches. Full sized fridge so we stocked up in town and cooked up of a night and ate out on the deck. It’s the most relaxed I’ve ever seen our son (very much a home body) on holidays. Thanks so much for a wonderful week. ##### Catriona E.
