Kirsty was very helpful and always responded quickly to any questions I had. The place felt really homey and was located in an amazing neighbourhood. The house had everything you could need and was super close to the coast as well as shops. I would definitely stay here again.

Peninsula Perfection

My husband and I stayed for 8 days to relax and get to know the area. Our stay was perfection. The house is a gem, we felt immediately relaxed and at home. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog Lucy who loved the backyard for lots of exploring. The home was exactly as advertised and well equipped. The local village is 2.5km away, and we love to walk so the house was a wonderful stroll to the shops. The whole stay was perfection!

Beautiful house and pool

Loved the house. Bright and airy. Spotlessly clean. The pool was a bonus. Several early morning and evening dips. Comfy beds. Top quality appliances. The small gap in the fence was a little problematic for our dogs as they could see people passing on the footpath, but we adapted. The owner did put up some wire for us. We enjoyednthe area to walk the dogs. Highly recommended.

The property was pet friendly even having a bed for the dog and bowls. The house has lots of steps so not ideal for people with any disabilities. House was spotlessly clean.Pool is a plunge pool and I had to be in contact with the owner to adjust temperature which is unusual.Lots of books in the house. Would be very cosy in winter.Pleasant walk to beach through park walk. Garden is well maintained and very tranquil.Only problem was alarm went off on the second night and we didn’t have code to turn it off. Did stop after a few minutes and code sent through a few hours later.Enjoyed our break here.
