Belinda and Peter are very great hosts
Accommodation was all what we expected
Full apartment for 2 days with fully equipped kitchen living room bathroom bedroom and garden to enjoy the sunset!
We were able to enjoy Irish performance in restaurant where Peter played bouzouki
And Belinda has taken us there
Best to this amazing couple
It was hard to park as space very tight. We wanted to swim but a greasy film covered the water. You could hear the people above us talk and noisy when they walked. Not very noise proof. However room was clean and sufficient

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean bedding and comfy bed. Friendly and responsive staff. A bit concerning to have 2 large patio windows into the ground floor suit but the area was very quiet.
Very clean and comfortable room. Proprieters very friendly and helpful. Great cooking space and we were allowed to use the owners' barbecue. Central location, short walk to Natureland and the beach.
The rooms are very clean, beds are super comfy. The kitchen is fully equipped.
Even though it was busy when I stayed, it was very quiet in the evening and I had a great sleep.
Owners are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
Really friendly and helpful staff, unit was super clean, beds were comfortable. The little pool was great for our kids to blow off some steam after a long travel day. We were able to walk a short distance to get dinner, and it's just a little longer of a walk to get to the beach and an incredible playground. Highly recommend!
