Perfect two day stop for a couple with dogs

We really appreciated the little details Paul has looked after to set this up so well. The location is great with a short walk to an empty sandy beach which goes for miles. So nice to wake up to views of whale and white islands

What a spot!

Was a lovely little place in the perfect spot to relax. Close enough to town for what we needed, but far enough out that we could enjoy the beach and relax. Our little dog loved his run around too. Can't wait to be back again.

A slice of heaven.

A truly wonderful spot with awesome view of the ocean. Being able to take our little pooch along with us was great and we all enjoyed the walks along the beautiful beach. Paul was a great host and decent down to earth guy. Really recommend this place.

Amazing views

We initially booked to stay 6 nights and then changed it to 8 nights because the views from this place are outstanding! It is 2 min walk to the beach and a short drive to town. Paul, the landlord, is an awesome guy who would go out of his way to make our stay more enjoyable. Our dogs absolutely loved the big garden and the walks on the beach. We would go back to this place with no hesitation.

Great stay!

This property has an amazing location with close beach access and walks. The view from the deck was so pretty and even in winter we were out there during the day with a glass of wine. The property is fully fenced so dog friendly. The cottage was super tidy and well maintained. There was also well stocked kitchen which was great to walk into. Paul the owner stayed in his shed behind the cottage during our stay and was very respectful of our privacy. He is friendly and easy to deal with. We would highly reccomend this place for a visit.

Fantastic

I can’t recommend this lovely cottage enough - either as a singles or couple retreat - but especially for those who love to take their dogs with them & have difficulty finding anywhere! It was just fantastic & would be even more wonderful in fine weather! Paul was so easy to communicate with, friendly & accommodating. Most definitely recommend & we’ll be coming back, for sure :)
