Great to have an enclosed garden. Parking space at the back lane, outside the back gate. Great location for bars and shops and takeaways. The beach is awesome, and dog friendly. Very lucky with the weather. And great communication from Cassie the owner.

Not because everything was perfect, but when there was an issue it was very promptly resolved. First class. Impressed. That is a mark of quality. Will definitely look to using again when we next visit this area.
