Great location

Great unit for a weekend away. Very quiet and private, great sunny courtyard for children and fury friend or just to enjoy the sun. Walking distance to the beach. A/c in the living room would be a good addition. The bi fold doors open fully to let air in , however this gives mozzies and other bugs full access.

Nice little cottage/re-vamped beach house

The cottage was quite comfortable, note the main bedroom had a double bed, the second bedroom, 2 single beds. Not many properties have double beds any more, mostly Queen or King size beds. It was a little strange that the entry to the cottage was via the second bedroom, if anyone was sleeping in that room it would be an issue. Need to provide your own firewood, it was in the Ts&Cs but I didn't see it. All in all a lovely stay for two good friends and a dog, very pet friendly with fences and gates.

Lovely clean place and great location. Just needs some more bowls, tea towels and cooking utensils. Be aware no stove or large fridge. Not ideal for a long stay with children. Huge gap under gate if you take a dog, We enjoyed the place very much.

Front yard was not secure for small dogs.Large gap at bottom of gate.Vertical blinds in poor state with broken bits. Unable to shut properly at night.Panorama windows in hallway require blinds.Small back yard section unkept.Numerous beer cans found on ground.Should be gated off to keep pets out.

Family stay

We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin house but we were a bit disappointed in some things lacking for our family. While it is pet friendly accommodation, we found dog faeces all on the lawn (my kids were dodging to play outside), there were some missing dinner sets, soap was listed for showering and was absent and family friendly items listed, were minimal (games and movies), with one game/one dvd. It was close to where we wanted to be for a good price, but for our family weekend away, we were disappointed that items were lack lustre.

Nice if you are a dog lover

A nice property except the horrid smell of dog wee throughout. Main bed comfy but kids beds were missing both safety rails so not ideal at all for young ones. Living room TV is ancient and didn’t have Netflix for kids and AC only had one remote working. Bath had no tap so not sure why it was even there. Owner was great with communication and if the smell was taken care of and maybe improve it for kid friendly we would stay again.
