Little piece of paradise
Beautiful studio with a stunning deck, private entrance to the studio, within walking distance to the cafes, restaurants and beaches. Stocked with everything you need. The views from the deck are stunning. Hosts were lovely, they made us feel welcomed and offered us late check out!. I 100% both recommend it and would come back. Thank you!

Seahorse heaven
Lovely quiet location. Comfy bed. Well-equipped kitchen. So nice to be close to some beautiful places to explore. Only issues: TV Reception poorand remote not working. We had trouble locking the front door (it seemed to lock but didn’t!) We couldn’t make the bedside lights work. These hiccoughs did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. We would highly recommend!

Quiet and serene
We were grateful to be allowed at this property with our pets. Albeit the grass area on ground level is enough for potty breaks, the large reserve down the driveway makes up for a good romp in the grassy area. I travelled with my elderly Father and there were 14 large steps to climb to the entry of the studio but he managed well with the railings, it was the steep long concrete drive that needed lung support when walking back (haha) but it was worth the walk. The estuary is a short walk and beautiful as ever. The studio itself is well equipped and everything you need. Large shower is amazing and roomy (it doesn’t have an extractor so it can be a tad steamy but it passes quickly). Deck is pet friendly to close the gate to keep them secure. Beautiful setting, thank you for allowing us to stay.

Simply perfect
From the moment we arrived we just relaxed, the house had everything we needed with amazing view over the countryside and the beach. Close to great cafes, shops and restaurants. But you don't have to leave the house with all you could need to bbq, cook and sit outside with the views to eat all your meals. The peace and quite was just so overwhelmingly perfect! We will be going back with our 2 little dogs again they also loved the outdoor space and the house and all the time they got with us relaxing. Thank you to the lovely helpful hosts for having us!

Well Appointed but cold
The property was clearly clean and nicely appointed with lovely furniture, crisp white linens and velvety bedcoverings. Unfortunately it is very cold in mid-winter as the heating is inadequate making the uncovered wooden flooring cold, the bathroom freezing and the expansive windows condensation-covered when there was no sun. A heat pump and large rug in winter would help significantly. It is situated in a lovely coastal township with a couple of shops/cafes and surrounded by rivers and a beach. The view is to the west and primarily township but the expansive hills are beautiful. It is also beautifully quiet.
