"Everything you expect from a coastal town motel. Friendly staff, room serviced, general areas clean but areas out of sight like behind and under the tv cabinet, top of air con unit, top of cabinets all need a good dusting. That’s my only issue. Just dust on everything"

"Great location, amazing views. House is comfortable and easy to use. Details like an empty gas bottle, no kindling, broken rangehood, and attention to detail with cleaning. Take own linen too. Couldn't image taking my dog there (maybe a small dog), stairs and driveway are steep, hence the amazing ocean views. 4 stars."

"Wish we could stay longer. We were only there for one evening. We arrived later in the evening and just grabbed our keys in front of the office, which was closed. Not an issue - there was a provided phone/whatsapp number for the staff who picked up right away and was on-site anyways. Loved the new renovations, including the new heating/lighting in the bathroom - welcome features as we visited during winter. Short ~10 min walk to the nearby restaurants, and down the street from the beach. Would stay again."
