The perfect beach shack across from the ocean
We had an amazing experience staying at this lovely and well decorated house. We found ourselves upstairs looking out to the ocean and hearing the waves crashing, ready books at night: the owners were very thoughtful and made the trip a very memorable one. Thank you for having us, our dogs loved the outdoor area and the big yard, running around like there was no tomorrow.

A lovely relaxing break
We were not 100% sure about how our stay would be, as the photos were through mirrors etc , which although artistic , did not give a real impression of the rooms available. It also listed as having a pool and spa, which we were actually relieved to have the owner confirm that it did NOT have, as it was ringing alarms bells as too good to be true. In reality it is a lovely property with lots of books , games, nice extras , good warm shower , and an unpromoted upstairs room where you can view the ocean, relax and read books, and in our lucky case, view the Aurora Australis. !! We did go outside to view this beautiful phenomenon properly, but the upstairs room helped me see from the warmth of inside that it was worth getting up in the night 🙂 I would also like to say that our dachshund dogs loved the garden which was safe but had lots of places for them to explore. So we have found it a beautiful location and wonderfully peaceful with friendly locals.

Peaceful location
Had an absolute wonderful stay for a couple of nights. House is just lovely, spacious and very clean. The beds were so comfortable and everything needed was there with some little extras which was very sweet and thoughtful, Had some great walks along the beach and house is very handy to go off exploring the area. Garden is beautiful and enclosed for our dog which was just fabulous. Would highly recommend a stay if you get the chance.

Home away from Home
This lovely little cottage is in a quiet street away from town so close to the beach, walking distance to the river mouth and the Colour patch cafe/restaurant. Perfect for the fur child as the garden is fully enclosed and secure and the dog beach is across the road. The cottage is beautifully decorated in an eclectic way. It is very comfortable and has everything you need. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back.
