10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. The check in service was also convenient for us as we arrived late at night. The location was great, within only a short stroll to the beach and a few blocks away from the town centre. The park facilities were also good with a swimming pool, bbq area, games room etc."
