Great location and had all the ammenities we required for our stay
We had a great time staying in this comfortable and conveniently located unit. Perfectly equipped in all the necessary appliances to make our stay away from home just right. Only a 10 minute walk from great coffees, even shorter walk to a great lunch place and a quick drive to the dog beach. Communication with the hosts was very straightforward and prompt.We absolutely enjoyed this weekend. Thank you!
This little unit was perfect for two adults and 2 small dogs. Lovely little yard, very neat. Very comfortable. Hosts accommodated early check in.
Thank you!

Clean and comfortable but overpriced
Clean and comfortable but unit on a main road and quite small. Inside nice but outside not what we expected . Felt that very overpriced for this property.

Unpleasant
The unit was tucked away and immediately we could see some creative photography was used in the promotion. The unit was grubby, the rug in the lounge area needs replacing, the bathroom included shampoos etc of previous tenants, but of most concern was the bites my sister received sleeping in the lower bunk. We did not use the supplied towels as these needed a ‘hot wash’ and taking responsibility for my dog I took my own vacuum to ensure I cleaned up after her, but was disappointed when I was actually cleaning the unit. We would not stay again and now are reconsidering future accomodation options when travelling.
