This property is located directly on the coastal highway with excellent views of the bay. It's a quaint little property that is tucked into Thames. The property emphasizes eco-friendly protocals, which means that each unit is only alotted 40 liters of hot water at a time. This results in a 20 minute wait between showers. This wasn't a problem for us; however, larger families might struggle with this.

Friendly and obliging staff. Great location just a few minutes from Thames. I would stay there again. Cottages were well set up with pleasant maritime themed decor. Comfortable beds. Up to date bathroom. Sunny cottage needs a new stovetop as it is old & takes ages to cook on & is therefore not really a full kitchen. One of the 2 cottages I paid for was rather musty because it didn't have windows in the bedroom to get the sun like the other cottage so needs a dehumidifier at least & a bit of renovation.

Nice location slightly out of town, so very quiet - unfortunately, this made me more aware of the creaking floor every time I moved, it made me feel sorry for the people below on the ground floor. The unit was generally run down, with a shower head at shoulder height (I'm pretty standard height, 5 foot 10) and slippery stairs to access. Might be a lovely overall experience in the summer months.

Been coming here for nearly 10yrs now and its in a steady decline. Only 1/2 a roll of toilet paper, no tissues anymore and alot of dust on the bench. Needed a good clean and a think about how much more cost cutting before you lose your old customers who expect better. Lucky its in a beautiful location! Not sure if we will be back.

There were rats or a possum scratching around in the ceiling of the unit we stayed in, but we were able to get shifted to another unit which was pest free. The shower in the unit we ended up in didnt drain properly so you ended up almost flooding the bathroom following a shower.
