Loved our stay, very safe environment for the kids, we had an accident where my toddler broke the oven door glass and the owner was very understanding about the issue and us paying for the damage was very easy with no hassle. Will definitely stay again when we are back up in the area again
We found the accommodation very clean and tidy. The key was located in a secure lockbox, parking was available outside the accommodation.
Very good value for money, we will certainly want to book in again later in the year.
Loved the location. Clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately the smoke alarm battery went flat and beeped all night.

The room was well equipped, tidy, and clean. The location was good, and close to the shops. I paid a discounted rate, but definitely don't think I'd pay the full rate. I don't think it's worth it.
I stayed in unit 6, and every so often the room would creak so loud that I had to sleep with white noise on to drown out the sound. It wasn't the best experience, and it kept waking me up.

A nice place to stay for 2 nights during a family visit to the area. Check-in was simple and quick and the unit was cleaned daily.
Taps in the bathroom need new washers and some light bulbs not working.
The wood panels occasionally creak quite loudly and initially we were unsure what it was. We later found a note explaining it has to do with the wood reacting to temperature changes.
Great location near beach, grocery shops and dinning. Owners responded quickly when messaged and brought a curtain for the glass back door.
Everything was clean though a bit dated. The shower has a large step to get in which could be a problem for the ederly.

Unit spotlessly clean and comfortable bed.
Couch was pretty uncomfortable. Curtains in bedroom didn’t fit the window and very thin so lots of light. No aircon in room .was very hot. Big fan provided but very noisy.

We enjoyed our stay. The units were clean and usable. Wifi was terrible to non-existent. (Used cellphone data mainly.) No hot water on first night, but was fixed quickly in the morning. One unit had salt & pepper shakers, the other didn't: inventory seemed quite haphazard. We would visit again though. Suggestion: maybe remove the old spa bath nut out front and install a couple of barbecues?
