Was lovelt place, a bit smaller than i thought with not much air con, but it was still comfortable and well stocked kitchen except that it doesn't have a proper egg flip
This property was amazing. Plenty of room, spotless, comfortable fittings.
We had a great time, kids loved it.
It was hard to think of anything that we needed for our holiday that was not there for our use.
Would definitely recommend this property and happily stay there again.
Owners were wonderful.
Great location everything you need for a family get-a-way
This is a nice property, it is as advertised, and had everything we needed. close to fishing (lake). Short 3-4 minute walk to the beach. We all enjoyed our time here. The hosts provided all information we needed, and timely. Communication was very easy.
We had two very comfortable nights here. Spacious for two families, shaded outdoor area and the cleanest holiday rental that I have visited. Easy walk to Blacksmiths beach and grannies pool and a short drive to groceries in Swansea. We would love to come again.
Great communication from Greg and Kathie. The house is as described. In a brilliant location, quiet but within easy travel of most places. Grannies pool was incredible.
This cottage is all you need for a great stay in Blacksmiths. Easy to explore all that the area has. Very clean and welcoming, all your needs are catered for, linen, crockery, condiments, ample bedding and seating for the large family.
The house is in an excellent location, walking distance to Blacksmiths beach and to a nice cafe/yoga place.
The house is so well equipped for friends and family. They even have children’s facilities such as sand and beach toys, kids cutlery and board games.
All the nice extra touches was so thoughtful. The house is very well equipped. We will definitely be back.
Greg & Kathie were great hosts. Prompt communication. The property was as described and even better than the photos suggest. Location is fab, walking distance to Granny’s Pool & Blacksmith’s Beach. The sunsets were magical. Plenty of space for 2 adults + 5 kids.
We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy beach shack. It was comfortable, clean and a good size for our large family. The kitchen although small was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay.

Nice place, clean and comfortable. Short walk to the beach and lake.
Was a nice stay, just a shame about the weather!
Position of home is good, walking distance to Granny's Pool, Beach and Boat Ramp. There's plenty of space to park boat at the rear of property behind gates. The whole family enjoyed the place.
