Reviewer Comments: Our stay at your simple yet cosy retreat was just as I’d hoped for.Still quite cold during September, the fire was gorgeously warm and when not being used, the reverse aircon made the inside climate very comfortable. My daughters loved the games available and the stream with waterfall made for a daily activity.The bustling waterfront with many locals walking daily was enticing to join in on. A hiccup with the hot water running out from an empty gas bottle was quickly rectified by the prompt support of management.Perhaps the only negative was an early rising from the noisy birds on galvanised roof.Overall we loved our stay and look forward to staying again!Thank you from myself and my three daughters, Kate 😊 ##### Kate B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rowena W.

Great views and a really well equipped accommodation. We spent time together as a family and 'getting into town' to go shopping or get a coffee was too easy. A great spot. ##### Verified traveller This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Renee May 7, 2017 #### Not a queensize bed, water issues This place is cute but it missed the mark for us on a number of issues. The bed is only a double not a queen like the advert states. My husband is 6foot4 and he was very uncomfortable. You can't flush the toilet if you're in the shower, it actually shuts off the water completely because there doesn't seem to be enough water for both. We were supplied with 2 x brand-new brown towels (not washed) that left brown fluff all over us. There were broken pot plants in the yard so this place isn't great for kids either. On the positive side the breakfast supplies were appreciated and it was clean - but I wouldn't book it again and I wouldn't recommend it to others at this price point either. ##### Renee ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Santa Fe - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Riu-Santa-Fe-All-Inclusive.h1775300.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Azores](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Azores-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d6048267-tGolfHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [BestWestern Hotels in North Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Sydney-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d9182--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Vancouver-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n6058432-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sanctuary Hotel New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Sanctuary-Hotel-New-York.h4187606.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaches Turks & Caicos - ALL INCLUSIVE](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-Beaches-Turks-Caicos-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h197859.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Gibsons](https://www.expedia.ca/Gibsons-Motels.d55313-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Crossroads Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Crossroads-Inn-Suites.h16008648.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Montagnais](https://www.expedia.ca/Saguenay-Hotels-Le-Montagnais.h4200398.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Westbank](https://www.expedia.ca/Westbank-West-Kelowna-Hotels.0-n553248635921598871-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Aventuras-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h447258.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Granville Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Granville-Street-Hotels.0-l6253823-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Perth](https://www.expedia.ca/Perth-Hotels.d58882.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from London (YXU) to Washington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/dca/london-to-washington) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Thunder Bay (YQT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yqt/abbotsford-to-thunder-bay) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Vienna (VIE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/vie/vancouver-to-vienna) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yeg/kelowna-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to West Yellowstone (WYS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/wys/vancouver-to-west-yellowstone) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bom/toronto-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Saint John (YSJ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysj/yyz/saint-john-to-toronto) ### Activities > [Things to do in Runaway Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Runaway-Bay.d9336.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/ski-vacations/31/Canada) ### General > [Visit Utah](https://www.expedia.ca/Utah.dx246) > > [Visit Savannah](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah.dx6034190)
