    There is no sink in the kitchen area which made it difficult to make a cup of coffee. The towels were a bit old and were off coloured (some bleach stains). There was other people living on the premises and were socializing till really late and we could hear them till 3am as they were directly above us.

    The room was spacious for the 3 of us. Clear instructions and easy self check in.

    A relaxing stop-over was had here. It had everything we needed, and was around the corner from shops and restaurants and a fuel station. The accommodation was clean, bright and very comfortable. (The bath is lovely!)

    Carpets need to be cleaned a bit better but was ok for me. My wife complained a little. Bathroom perfect. Living room a little to improve. Awesome patio. Great stay, great location. Best money could buy if you don’t need a seaview…

    Awesome cottage. Good location. Walking distance to the center and a little longer walk, to the beach. We checked out many places. This one is best of money could buy. Own parking. Great patio. Bathroom is stunning.

    Unfortunately we did not enjoy the shower head and shower, it is very nice and large and the bathroom is beautiful but the shower head we feel does not match the quality of the rest of the unit. We also did not enjoy the stinky and messy tree outside the unit where we parked our vehicle. The dripping and downfall was hard to clean off the car and the smell a little off putting. This does not help in a town with water restrictions and no car wash unfortunately.

    The property was great value for money, very well equipped and was very happy with the privacy and secure parking. The highlight was the bed, very comfortable and good quality bedding. The small kitchenette had everything we needed and the host was exceptionally helpful and friendly when I needed to borrow an ironing board and iron due to a linen outfit that wrinkled during travel.

    Liked everything!!!

    First off, any golfer would like the facked that there is 2 word class courses sitauted 2 mintes from your doorstep, and a putting green in the courtyard to practise your short game. We loved the comfortable king size bed and aircon. Also there is Gavins sushi, 22 Eater and Off the menu, just 1 munites drive away. Debs, you will defnitely see as soon again.

    The carpet in the room, because of people who are disrespectful and smokes in the room.

    It's stunning, beautiful setting, my bedroom was brilliant. Sad to have left. Debbie was extremely accommodating.

    The kitchen area are a little small. I would prefer a place with a kitchen sink and n small stove.

    Modern decor were perfect. Tv with Netflix, wifi, aircon, bathtub and shower are perfect. The bed are very comfortable.
