Unique decor, large open plan space. Beautiful waterfront views, in the centre of town for exploring. IGA and bakery very close by. A little hard to find clear signage for the property and parking. No freezer in the mini fridge.

This property is in immaculate condition in a fantastic location. Couldn't fault the property or location. Loved the front balcony and sweeping ocean views. Could park the car off-street and everything such as beach, shops and dining within walking distance. Would definitely stay at the property again!
