Nice neighborhood and has everything you need. This batch is just that - don't expect a flash house or anything but it was perfect for what we were after. Bring bug spray with you though! ##### Chelsea Y. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Phil B. Mar 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### When its good to be central to nowhere A great little/big shaded base camp for the coastal drifters. Central to nowhere and quiet. Big enough to kick a ball in the shade, with a good-sized kitchen/entertaining area. Yet small enough to easily maintain through your stay. The only bug was that I couldn't get the wifi sorted, which would be an issue for parents with whinging kids. Solid 4 stars from me :) ##### Phil B.

Comfy beds, large kitchen area with full size fridge and oven. Only downfall was the shower, the pressure was almost non-existent. ##### Janae H.

Seaview is tainted by a big pile of logs and a old rusty trailer close to the back decking. The accomodation comprised off two portacabins and metal doors. You were expected to take all green waste and rubbish away. The closest rubbish tip was closed on the day we left. The fridge seal was hanging off . ##### Gill L.
