Yuk
House was filthy and smelly with spider webs everywhere. Kitchen, cupboards and fridge were all dirty. Floors not cleaned and very dirty. Downstairs bedrooms had food and hair all over the floor. We had to clean it up before letting the kids go in there. Such a disappointment. We all left early as the grottiness agot too much in the end. Owner is lovely and seems to have been let down by his cleaner for quite some time. The bbq doesn’t get hot enough to cook anything and was filthy and full of cobwebs. Amazing location though and could be so much better

Reveiw
The house is a good escape place, little isolated .Would be nice to have directions from the gate entrance to avoid people to think it's a scam and going back, we almost went back home. About the house power, the owner kept calling that we spending too much power on our first day. It's good to indicate on the adverts the amount of power guest can use per night. Otherwise the host was a grate guy we met him and we were happy with the stay.

So nice to be miles away from civilisation and have our own little private beach. Loved heading out for walks and exploring the national park and coming back to comfy beds and a warm fire.

Amazing location with ocean views and stunning coastline. The host Sean is wonderful making you feel so welcome (he even helped us get a car breakdown sorted with minimum hassle) The house has 360 ocean views and very comfortable. One of the best 'get away from it all' breaks we have had. Will be back
