- Beautiful location - Great atmosphere - Great facilities - Fireplace that we enjoyed (including wood) - Shower had strong flow - Comfortable chairs to relax in It just had everything. You could grab a bike, a kayak or a sup if you wanted to. It was setup lovely with the garden, you could do laundry for free if you wanted. We really enjoyed all of it. Our only regret is only staying one night. Had we had more time, we would have loved to have stayed several more.

I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
