Thistle Do is the perfect base for exploring the area. Beach across the road was safe enough for swimming and kayaking with our 6 year old and Oceans Beach was close enough for our surf seeking teens. Clare & Graeme are lovely hosts - helpful & generous with their time and local knowledge. Hope to make this a yearly trip 🥰

Clare and Graham were very welcoming. The home was warm and welcoming, lovely views. Clare went out off her way to post some stuff back to my home and thank you for that. Would recommended this home and owners.

Beautiful spot a stones throw from the beach. Lovely little garden for the kids to enjoy. Super quiet as at the end of the road. Host is lovely and respectful of your space
