Simple Beach Living
We stayed for a week after Easter 2024 having previously stayed in 2023. Weather was not kind but we still managed some beach time. Property is well located - under15 min walk to beach or 10 min to city centre. Two bathrooms and toilets along with two lounge areas made for easy family living. Crockery and cookware is fine for simple meals but not for serious cooking. A modest home, secure yard, makes for a relaxing holiday.

Great location
Great location great for large family and dogs. Grass was very long at side of house could do with a bit of an update with furniture inside but comfortable. Kitchen cupboards very cluttered not much room for food storage for family for 4 days. Outdoor furniture bit rusted could be updated. Overall clean and suited us with family wedding locally.

Our Second Stay
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and not only is the location ideal being close to the surf beach and main shopping strip but the property is ideal for a larger family and it is set back with a private yard where you can securely park multiple vehicles and has plenty of space for our furry friend to run around in.
