So close to a fabulous beach

What a fabulous beach with access along a dune walkway from the driveway - right opposite Whale/Moutohora Island. Lee-Anne’s studio was spotless, with a very comfortable bed and great shower. Perfect for our dog too with its small fenced garden. The photos don’t do it justice.

Perfect haven

A wonderful peaceful haven for my partner and myself plus our cavoodle Molly to unwind , fish , walk along the beach, relax , and just be. A very short walk to the beach , a beautifully presented unit with everything you need for cooking if you want to. Leanne and Gary were attentive and wonderful hosts and the neighbours all very friendly. We will return. Highly recommend. Can’t fault our stay. Excellent value for money also.

Beautiful Location

Our stay was great. The accommodations were lovely. Very clean and tidy. Friendly Host. Beautiful upscale quiet neighborhood. Literally a minute's walk from the beach. 8 min drive to shops and restaurants in town centre. All facilities for cooking your own meals if you wanted to. We had breakfast daily on site, had lunch and dinner in town. All up, a really comfortable relaxing stay.

lisa

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
So disappointed, we didn't even stay longer than two hours due to the strong dog smell in the room, the parking was terrible trailer parked across where we were supposed to park and wooden planks down the side, very unwelcoming for a paying guest, felt like we were intruding on owners space, Was not even offered a refund when I spoke with the owner! after advising them of the smell in the room. We had to stay at a Motel which added extra costs to our holiday. Would not recommend staying here.

Comfortable dog-friendly retreat by the sea

A very clean, quiet and comfortable unit in an excellent location. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog and walk her along the beach. Despite a very stormy weather event we were able to retreat to the comfort of the house. Highly recommended.
