It's a characterful and surprisingly roomy bach with enough kitchen space to cook for our group of six. The dunes are definitely worth seeing, really beautiful. ##### Skye P.

They had a good amount of beds to accommodate everyone. Whilst the place may look small, I assure you that it felt anything but that. The amazing view and direct connection to the sand dunes, river, and beach, were amazing. A few things to mention though is that the front yard from the road is a bit unkept and the key box was a bit of a search to find, but other than these small issues everything was great. Thanks to this batch I was able to create such amazing memories with friends and family. Thank you to the hosts for being a part of such an amazing trip. ##### Maree E.
