Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Island Adventure... Enjoyable stay with comfortable bed, plenty of towels available and close to Ferry landing.Major issue for us was the extremely rough track which wasn't a pleasant experience each time we went out and came back. We would consider it more than a "bumpy driveway". Smart TV did not work after day 2 unless it was operator error. Otherwise everything was available that enables us to have an enjoyable stay. ##### Peter S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025
