The Bowsprit
Our overall experience was fantastic. Karen was clear with her communication of what to expect and how to access the unit. The place itself was lovely! It really felt like a home away from home.

Perfect for my brother and me. Even the drizzly weather didn’t bother us. We were not on holidays but in Tweed to visit our Mum in a nursing home.

A perfect home away from home.
The property and location was amazing, there was no detail overlooked, it had everything you need for a long stay and more.
My family and I had an amazing stay, the beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need, the beauty of the sunsets and sunrises from the balcony were stunning.... we even got to see dolphins at dusk on the kayaks provided at the property. Not to mention the hosts were lovely and extremely accommodating.
Thank you Karen and Paul for allowing us to stay at your property, it was an experience the kids will remember for a long time, they already miss the friends they made next door and cannot stop talking about the dolphin experience.
10/10 stay.

Perfect for wedding weekend
We had a fantastic stay at Karen and Paul's property. We were travelling for a weekend wedding at Carool which was an easy 20 minute drive away. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment contained everything we could need. Highly recommended.

An absolute treat!
Karen and Paul operate a quintessential short-term rental...the 'penthouse suite', as we called it. Clean, bright and airy with a view, it was a comfortable stay we were sad to leave. Highly recommended.
