Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great Pet Friendly location The location is excellent in terms of proximity to river, beach and township. The only thing to be wary of for next 6 months is that the neighbouring property is being constructed so tradies there by 7am - so don’t expect quiet sleep ins! Yard was a little small for our fur baby but plenty of easy beach walks made up for it. Watch your head on back door if you are 6 foot tall or more! Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful town. ##### Leigh S. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy T. Dec 10, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Cottage review The cottage was lovely although smaller than it seemed from the photos. In addition, the kitchen was not particularly useable- there is a cheap oven with bad electric hobs and a cheap aluminium pan so we had to change our plans to cook in the house. Because premium rates are charged for the cottage, i would expect higher quality utensils, it was really just a student kitchen. Anything we used also had to be washed first which wasnt good enough.Unfortunately i would not stay there again or recommend it. ##### Lucy T.
