    “Great location, close to shops, restaurants, lovely dog walking trail to beach one way, oval the other, along a lovely green valley. Really enjoyed sitting on the deck surrounded by bush and birds. House is a 1960s jewel!”

    “The photos do not do this place justice. It is the cutest 1970s-styled "beach shack". We absolutely adored our stay here. The beds were so comfy, and the kitchen had everything you needed, including tea and a coffee machine. Very close proximity...”
