Comfortable stay

Easy to locate and not too far from the waterfront. Bedroom was comfortable and a decent living room area. A plus is that the toilet is separate from bathroom making it easy to get ready before going out when travelling with a family.

Good spot

A couple of little hiccups, but resolved with very prompt communication from owner. Cleaning not 100%, and loud barking dog close by may not sit well for those with tinnitus. Garage a little tricky to negotiate for larger vehicles. But property was comfortable, well located and had all we could ask for. Would visit again.
