Lovely break away
We loved staying here, very relaxing. Had everything you need. Kids had a blast on the secluded beach searching for crabs and hubby fishing. A 4wd vehicle would be best to get there, rather than a car.

Rugged coastline.
Two bedroom, sleeps 8. Good facilities, just up the track from beach. Plan carefully as its a long drive to shops. Not a safe swimming beach. Come prepared, fishing, reading, puzzles. No tv, no wifi. Off thd grid is great for a few days.

An amazing property and amazing owner!
Paula went above and beyond when customs delayed us by hours Paula was still very kind and patient with our delay. We didn’t arrange to the property till 9 pm where she met us at the front of the property happy and super nice. The Bach didn’t disappoint when we saw the beautiful area in the sun rise along with the black sand beach. 20/10 me and my family absolutely loved the time we were allowed to stay and want to thank Paula and her family for the amazing time!

Stunning off the beaten track bach
Paula's place is incredible. Just a heads up - it's very far off the beaten track, and it takes a while to get to from the main road (roughly 20-25 mins from there). Some of the hills are a little steep in places, so make sure you've got good traction. However, once you get there, it's incredible. The views are stunning, there's essentially a private black sand beach at the bottom and the bach is cozy and charming. It had everything we needed: comfy beds, hot shower with amazing pressure, decent stove and oven, and plenty of sofas for chilling out on. Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough.

A magical place.
We had the best time staying at this property. It is the most amazing location and we so enjoyed being off grid. The fishing is excellent and it was nice to spot the wildlife (deer and goats). We will definitely be back.

Idyllic spot
All amenities available, stunning views. Host shows you around the place on arrival and gives you tips on how things work. No cellphone reception unless you go to the beach....which we loved. Can get a wee bit noisy on windy nights, but the night stars make up for it.

Best “off the grid” escape!
Absolutely amazing wee hidden gem. The drive in is definitely a bit of a mission (our car wasn’t the best choice along the bumpy gravel) but once you’re there it is incredible. Peaceful, no internet, no one for miles. Can’t wait to come back!

Best Quiet Getaway!
This spot was perfect for our group, the best views aswell as the privacy of being out in the hills, I recommend to anyone trying to get away from the bustle of city life or just a short serene trip away from home.
