Lovely house so clean and homely. Arrived very late and there was a pack of biscuits for us, just what we needed after a long drive. Location is quite a drive from the city but great for a day trip. Quite noisy and busy between 7 and 7.30 in the mornings w commuter traffic as house is on the corner. Such a comfy stay w lots of attention to detail, highly recommend :)

cute cottage
Great little property, very clean and modern with comfortable beds. Nice layout in the kitchen/lounge/dining area and kitchen has everything you need, even a perfect little dishwasher. Plenty of off street parking as we had a trailer with us. Hosts are very easy to deal with and responded really quick to our questions.

Outstandingly good
The accommodation suited us perfectly for a one week trip to visit family in the area. It is well equipped, tastefully decorated and in immaculate condition. A very comfortable place to stay, within minutes of supermarket and beaches and just a short drive away from other facilities like shops and restaurants. We were made to feel very welcome by our host.

First Class for Kayaking Accomm!
Delighted with this modern, bbeautifully decorated and luxuriously equipped holiday home. We wanted for nothing. The facilities were high quality and I even took home a load of clean washing after our kayak trip. Great location for the popular Puhoi to Wenderholm kayak trip. Very private with no interaction from the owner, but mbl was provided if reqd. Bedroom door requires shaving as it wouldn’t close, but highly recommend to all. Thank you Margherite - you are first class!

I can highly recommend this property. It's a lovely cottage, looks exactly like the photos and is fully equipped with everything you would need to make it a home away from home. We would've loved to have stayed longer! Beautiful Stanmore Bay beach is a 2 min drive away and the supermarket is very close by too. We would definitely stay again.
