Comfortable and very clean. we experienced one problem with the power, we had difficulty with the meter box switches,we are older people our fingers do not have the strength to push some switches into position. The folder in the house does state this, we were frightened we would do damage if we pushed too hard. We contacted the property owner who was extremely helpful even though she was trying to get to a meeting. the problem was soon solved so a big thank you for her patience with us also for calling us later to see if we were okay.

Weekend getaway with family
The property was close to the beach and local amenities. It was nice to have a nice, well enclosed yard for the dogs and a bbq area. The kitchen is so well equipped which made our stay so much fun cooking for the family and cooking together. The shed has table tennis which enabled a fun way to spend time together. The place is clean and the host was very responsive to our needs.

Had a great time the qaint little house was comfortable and well stocked. Struggled briefly with turning on the electricity but all ok in the end. No wifi, but mobilenet signal still good. There was a washing machine, though the only disappointment for us was we couldn't find a clothes line. Difficult without a dryer, I forgot to pack a portable line.

Property was clean, everything needed available Champers a nice touch. I would however just like to mention that the back yard was good size but where grass ends, there could possibly be a gate across from sheds to herb garden(chicken wire all that is needed), as snakes could be down there, grass seeds at very least were and I didn't want my dog down there, Other than that great stay
