Bree does an exceptional job of managing this property. Her communication and preparation in the lead up to check-in was excellent. The property is accurately described and well presented.

The property doesn't suit fishermen as you are not to fillet fish on site, & getting vehicles out was challenging at times.The host was very friendly & helpful & would recommend this type of accommodation for general holidaying folk (not guests looking for a fishing adventure).

The property was exactly what we expected and made a great base for our family to explore the island, with no flash bells and whistles just a comfortable place to come home to each night. Bree was a great host and very quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay. Will definitely book here again.

Not suitable for habitation

The property was advertised as a beach shack. It was a 50 year old fibro building with limited access to electricity. It was dirty, with wood rot and peeling paint. The bed was ridiculous, and the offer of a few bits of foam from the renter was a joke. It took three days to work out how to get a hot shower adequately. There is not way this property would meet any building codes and should not be put up for rent. And it was not cheap, so price was not the issue.

Our second stay at Brees cottage this year. Suited us perfectly because we just needed a little place that was comfortable for the two of us and had easy access to the beach. Bree is so friendly and cannot do enough for you. More than happy to stay there again. Definitely our go to.
