We did not use the spa pool, but the cabin was clean and warm. The location was private, quiet, on a farm, above a fabulous beach. We were very sad to leave and could well spend 5 days there. Everything we look for with a cabin.

Beautiful and peaceful vacation home

We had the pleasure of staying 3 nights in this amazing beach front property. We absolutely loved it. Very remote and private. The beach was stunning and all to ourselves (occasionally someone came along the beach) and the night sky was so dark it gave extraordinary views of the stars. We loved having the cows right ne t to us in the paddock. The home itself is a little small but has everything we needed and we were very happy with the amenities and felt very comfortable and at home. We enjoyed grilling and having the hot tub. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive even about silly things like me wanting to pet the cows. We absolutely loved our time here and wish we could have stayed longer. Great hosts and amazing home.

beachfront hideaway

This is the place to be if you're looking for privacy. Your closest neighbour is far away on another hilltop. The beach is just a couple of minutes walk away and you have it all to yourself. We'd love to be able to go back there again.
