Recommend this property, beautiful house, clean & a very relaxing time
This property was excellent, very clean, everything you need in the kitchen & bathrooms. Fire place so cosy in winter. We had a great time, Pretty Beach is a lovely quiet place to visit & very relaxing. Highly recommend staying here.
Barney’s is a great holiday house - lots of room, gorgeous interiors, the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever seen in a holiday home and absolutely spotless when we arrived. Perfect holiday on the bay.
This was a last minute booking to calm the mind and reward our daughters for a great first term of 2023. So glad we did it.
The property was a delight! The little touches made it special. We were almost disappointed that it was too warm to light the fire. Loved watching the many birds coming in the afternoon to feed.
The property is close enough to walk to both Wagstaffe and Kincare while exploring our surrounds. Swimming, SUP boarding, cruising the many artists studios in the area were highlights.
The property manager was great, going above and beyond was we were arriving late. She provided helpful tips and all the information needed to make the stay seemless. Thank you!
Highly recommend this property!
