A lovely getaway
We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the lovely view and so much bird life. Very clean and spacious and a well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds and a good TV. The only downside is the parking situation as it’s quite scary backing out on that bend in the road, hence the 4 stars not 5 stars.

Fabulous Ladies Weekender
We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the views from this property; we are a group of ladies (grandmother, mothers and daughters) that weekend away twice a year. While the property was in original condition in the bathroom it was clean and tidy and the pictures are very accurate to the presentation of the property. All the small touches were appreciated, coffee pods / basic pantry (oil, salt, etc). We went on a 40+ degrees weekend and the air-conditioner kept it all pretty cool which was fantastic. Would recommend.

Bayview
The location is superb and the living areas in the property are very comfortable. However:
- the wifi did not work
- the DVD player did not work
- there was a leaking tap in the main bathroom
- fly screen doors are corroded and do not shut properly
- there was a lot of dust around the property
- there were dirty tea towels left in the washing machine
We are not ones to normally ‘complain’ but think that these things need to be fixed for other tenants.

Overpriced
Lovely spot but the property needs a lot of work. It’s wasn’t very clean & didn’t feel safe because the screens were all broken. The bathrooms were really awful. Wouldn’t recommend it.
