Loved this pristine cottage in its quiet, beachside spot!

Blissful weekend away

This little cottage was the perfect home for a short weekend away from the city. It is beautifully appointed with everything you could need, including quality knives & pans for cooking, a good heater & modern TV. Proximity to the beach was brilliant; a short 5 minute walk down the road which was well worth an early morning to watch the sunrise. We loved it so much, we booked again for September.

So peaceful

Such a great location. This beautiful cottage is on a quiet street in a sleepy village close to the beach. You feel like you've stepped back in time to an age when the world wasn't rushed and full of mcmansions. The house was beautifully renovated and decorated. It was very comfortable, without being excessive. The kitchen was so well stocked. The big backyard was awesome. We will definitely be back.

Location, Location and a well appointed Kitchen

Easy to book - yes the sheets and towels were included as were a fabulous kitchen! Sharp knives for cooking. Comfortable beds and a shower that had water pressure, hot water and I didn’t have to duck to get under the shower head! Easy walk to the beach and as it was on a dead-end street no “drive by’s”.
