    Rock Lodge was just perfect for the four us, extremely spacious and well maintained and spotlessly clean. We really appreciated the complimentary items, which was very thoughtful, thank you. We are hoping to come back and stay there again sometime.

  • Amanda

    The cottage is very well equipped for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The welcome pack and complimentary wine was most enjoyable. The location was great to get out and explore the beautiful beaches and golf courses. I would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful cottage. We will see you again next year.
