As it says on the box
It is not in town.
It is not modern.
It is not expensive.
This is the second time i have chosen this accomodation; we returned because it was good value and comfortable.

The bathrooms and toilets were miserable. Actually did not use the bathroom at all. I do understand they mentioned retro although rates changed were not!! They seriously need to re do all their bathrooms and toilets and make them more spacious.

Beautiful views
Lovely retro house with fantastic views. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge. Bedrooms very good sizes. Driveway difficult to find - can only be accessed via Deans-Marsh road, not on Smithers Street . Only suggestion is to have the house a little cleaner, especially the windows facing the view and the bathroom. Otherwise fantastic, we had a wonderful stay.
