to get started.

Beautiful location. Such a treat to have our own private path to a private ocean view. The cottage was very comfortable and perfectly equipped. Proprietors were extremely helpful. Our breakfasts were filling and delicious - the best meals we had on that side of the island. Perfect for our family of four!

Loved the sleeping moose cabin - friendly owners.....cats and chickens greeting you each day ......views and beach ( non swimming due to rustic nature) spectacular!

Cottage was perfect, cozy, clean, nicely decorated and well equipped The view from the veranda stunning and the date squares sold in the cafe were award winning!!

Debbie

The beds were comfy. The room was quiet and super clean. The kids enjoyed everything there. They like the bunk beds, smart TV, board games and the animals (chicken and cats). The breakfast in Dancing Moose was really good. Worth every penny!

Jenny

Wonderful cabin by the ocean with large deck and a picnic table right on the edge of the beach. Really cosy as there was a stove which we took advantage of and a very comfortable bed. Large patio doors looking south just made it! Fully equipped with everything you might need, but just tatty enough to feel really relaxed. The cabin was spotlessly clean. The Dutch owners also owned the Dancing Moose Cafe behind us on the highway - wonderful breakfasts including Dutch pancakes with whipped cream. We were in 7th heaven!

The ocean was super close, it was a cozy cabin and the wood stove was just perfect.

Cottage spacieux et très confortable. Nous étions 2 dans un cottage prévu pour 5 personnes. La 2ème chambre prévu pour 3 couchages est cependant un peu petite pour 3 adultes... Cottage très bien équipé. Avec même un salon de jardin et un barbecue ! Des jeux ainsi que des DVD sont également mis à disposition. La baie vitrée avec vue sur la mer est un plus très appréciable. Le petit déjeuner, non compris dans le prix de la nuit, servi au café attenant était excellent ! Une adresse où séjourner les yeux fermés !!

“Super clean”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
It's a little too far to the national park and other towns. So there is almost nothing to do if you are not going out. The ocean view and backyard are on the side of the living room and bunk bed room, not the master bedroom. It would be nice if the two bedrooms could be switched.
