For adventure lovers, the advantage of additional boat parking for a small vessel allows for convenient launching to explore the nearby waterfront.

Of course, in between beach trips, you can catch your favourite series on the Television, enjoy a classic movie via our DVD player, or get lost in melodic tunes from the CD player. The laundry facilities with washer and dryer ensure your beach towels would always be fresh and sandy-free for your beach adventures.

Good location
Close by to lovely beaches and walking paths. Plenty of space for family living. The budget price was attractive and comes with an old style house that has seen better days but is mostly comfortable for budget accommodation.

Dissapointed
Interior clean, exterior very poor, toilet very low for aged or disabled people, with no handrail for assistance.. Shower rose drips continually in shower and no support handrail.. Photos of advert imply dwelling directly across road from the waterfront, shows 2 TVs ,1 only and only local free to air channels. In short a very aged property and over priced.

Great location, spacious old house.
We loved walking across the road to the beach. While the house was spacious, it needed considerable maintenance, especially curtaining in the main bedroom facing the street. Broken venetians don't give much privacy. It really didn't detract from a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Place smelled damp, mouldy and dusty. Furniture and Kitchen appliances are from second hand st vinnies. Rusted, stained,dirty. Dust and mould on walls, windows and Curtains. Don't bother cooking, kitchen utensils are eather broken or dirty, Rusted. Had to call the agency to complain only to be told its the cheapest in the are. For the money i paid the owner could at least get new kitchen appliances and furniture. Won't be back.
