Comfort and the Best Seat in the West to View the Tasman Sea

10/10 Excellent
"The home was excellent for what we wanted. Very comfortable, not everything brand new....thankfully! I feel a bit anxious if it like a show home, I like to feel I can relax. Great dinning table for board games, kitchen had everything we needed. Beds very comfortable. The home baked biscuits delicious...maybe too delicious, as we ate quite a lot of them. View to the beach was great, lovely to hear the surf, and only a few metres walk and you are on the sand. Easy walking on the beach, my little dog love running along it. Would definitely be happy to book again."
