"The host was extremely helpful and accommodating and the communication was excellent. The views alone were worth visiting! the ocean is right on your door step . The house itself has got all the utilities you need and more, you can tell it was all very well thought out. The house was clean and cosy with a lot of character and charm. We loved our stay and will definitely come again!"

"Beware, water pressure was very poor and temperature was lukewarm. It made a difference for 3 adults trying to shower at 5.30am. There is no insulation and the railway is nearby.

"the exterior of the property is unkept. Veranda area needs a good clean and tidy-up of vegetation. it would make it so much more enjoyable to enjoy the afternoon sunshine.

"Nice location. Beautiful sunset. "

"Very clean, quiet and beautiful view. Easy check-in and communication. Great location next to the river."

"Lovely clean and private accommodation for my husband to recover from knee replacement surgery. Our stay was made all the better by our wonderful hosts, who looked after us very well, checked on how my husband was recovering and insured we had everything we needed for our two weeks stay. Wonderful location with the local New World a 2-minute drive and the town centre a 5-minute drive. We highly recommend a stay here; you will not be disappointed. We would happily stay again."

"Great location. Lovely environment and close to city and townships"
