Perfect place for a relaxed weekend away

Our family weekend away to catch up with friends was made all the better for staying here. Location is great with delightful sea views, the house is well presented with everything you need. The added bonus of being able to have our dog with us too was amazing. Thank you we hope to stay there again.

Great views at a gorgeous Wye River Getaway

Fabulously situated home with amazing views of the Wye River beach. Just a short walk to the beach, shops and cafe. So lovely to sit on the front veranda and look at the ocean. Well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and wood fire with wood provided. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxed and cosy

We loved our stay here! It is an amazing view and we immediately felt comfortable in the cosy and relaxed setting. Fire was a win for winter. We enjoyed playing games, doing puzzles and our regular outings to the general store for great coffee and the beach for walks. Our dogs loved it too although our little old one didn’t have a great time up the steps! But we all had a great time and will definitely be back if you’ll have us :)

Peaceful and lovely

We loved Kenmaure. It was great to be able to take our dogs. It was cosy and unpretentious, has a wonderful ocean view, particularly from the dining table, and has everything you need for a holiday away.

Excellent weekend awau

This little house was a lovely, warm winter escape. The wood fire was a highlight, and it pumped out the heat! We weren’t cold at any stage. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable (with electric blankets), and beautiful ocean views from both bedrooms. The back patio area can be blocked off to stop dogs wandering but the grassed area was unfenced. An easy five minute walk to the beach, and an extra minute over the bridge to the store or pub for dinner. We had such a lovely, relaxing stay…I look forward to another winter break there again.
