Peaceful break

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely estuary home. The views were beautiful, beds were comfortable and we appreciated the pet-friendly policy. As a baker, I'd suggest adding a hand mixer or egg beater, and kitchen scales with working batteries. Small shower gels would be a nice touch, as they're common in similar accommodations. The riverstone path at the entrance is a bit challenging for elderly guests. Despite these minor points, our stay was delightful and we'd recommend this accommodation.
