This property is located really close to town and the beach which really enhanced our stay as we could walk to shops, cafe, supermarkets and the beach. The beds were comfterble and the house was well equipt. We ate most of our meals outdoors in the little hut and the decor was vey cool... We had a wonderful time.

Run down but great location

Loved location and that block was fenced in but took 24hrs for hot water to kick in and was in need of a good clean.

Good location

The house was in a great location to the town. It was a bit more run-down than how the photos made it look. The house also had quite a musty smokey smell inside. Otherwise, it had all that we needed.

Quirky Retro

Functional albeit a little rundown. On the plus side it suited my needs and was an easy short walk to the beach which I loved. I suspect the photos of the outside on stayz may have been taken some years ago. Some grime in places (tea and coffee canisters, kitchen drawers, cupboard doors.... could do with a spring clean
