A great place to take a break
Maxine's shack is all you could want in a beach stay complete with the sound of crashing surf. By bringing your own linen and leaving the place clean you get a really affordable experience. Can recommend...

Great property and great location
This is a great little property with everything you need for a cosy stay, and it is just 2 minutes walk from the beach. Pros: Has everything you need for a comfortable stay Cons: It needs a few fixes minor fixes (a proper fix for the tape around ceiling vents/exhaust fans, and the door locks stick a bit (time for some graphite powder)). It could do with a decent clean (it was pretty good overall, just not spotless). You cant see the fenced back yard in the property pictures but it is off the back patio through a lockable gate and great for dogs. There is also another lockable gate from that small yard to the front yard, so great for access. Overall a great spot and would recommend.

No 4
House was warm and beds comfortable. Would be good to have a toilet adjacent to Kids bedroom. (The bunk room).. The Kitchen bench needs double PowerPoint replaced as one a with not working. Means swapping cords between Coffee maker and Kettle. Bedding not supplied is an issue

Cute Cottage close to the beach
Close to the beach, location wise - this is a gem. The property is a beach shack, perfect for people with a dog or two. The owner is lovely to deal with. The beds were too firm for us, the third bedroom is actually separate to the main house - something I had not realised. The locks on the front screen door were very hard to work, this probably needs replacing. Other than that. this is a great little place for a short stay.

I am an art teacher and I love gardening and renovating houses.
I enjoy sharing our comfortable beach house with our many lovely guests who seem to enjoy staying and keep coming back.

Why they chose this property

Surfer's Retreat is a very cosy, comfortable beach house.
We manage to keep the rental costs to a minimum by asking guests to provide their own sheets, pillow cases, towels and tea towels. Also, we do not charge a cleaning fee but allow guests to save even more by agreeing to leave the house clean and tidy ready for the next guests.
