Louise OConnell
Fantastic place to stay. Favourite things were parking, bush surround, beach views, outdoor dining with heaters, really close to bike trail, great space for three couples. Sparklingly clean, wonderfull bath and bedrooms. Such an easy place to stay, great communication ….book if you can !
Kayla
My partner and I had a wonderful winter stay here. The house was spotless, warm, and incredibly comfortable, we felt right at home straight away. The bed was super cozy with quality linen, and the bath was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after a chilly day out. Everything was well maintained with great attention to detail. We’d definitely love to come back for another peaceful getaway. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly throughout. We felt genuinely cared for, which made the experience even better.
Colleen Anstey
The house and location are superb. All the amenities are top class, the beds very comfortable and linen of good quality. The house presentation is immediately engaging, feels special and it is spotlessly clean. We stayed for four days with my family visiting from Glasgow. Scotland is beautiful but the house position, even though winter, the view from the generous deck was a new experience for the family. We all felt another four days could easily be spent just on the deck ! If it had been snowing the house offered a warm place to curl up and just absorb the landscape. David was a pleasure to deal with. I rate this house and location very highly and hope to return sometime soon. Colleen and family
