Good simple beach type cottage with lots of space out the back and spacious verandahs.

This cottage has a spacious living area comfortable beds and most things you need for a short holiday stay. It is with walking distance of the coast and the Coolart Reserve and Homestead.

Short Unplanned Holiday

Pleasant older property. Linen was good. Kitchen utensils could be upgraded. Lounge furniture could be made more comfortable. Only suitable for a close/family group, as there is only one toilet and bathroom. Good location close to the beach.

Disappointing

The accomodation was good however we had issues with a non functioning hot water service. At first communication was good but after a second day of no hot water for 8 adults going to a wedding there was and has been no further communication from the owner.
