Fantastic getaway!!!

Just awesome. Comfortable, clean, close to the beach. This bach was epic for myself and my friends in our mid twenties. Would definitely recommend staying, the bbq and outdoor deck and table was so lovely to use in the summer. Just what we needed, simple bach vibes. Thanks!

Well appointed batch close to the beach.

Well set up batch- 5 minutes walk from beach. We had a lovely stay and I would recommend. Lots of kitchen utensils etc. Bed comfortable There was a bit of rubbish when we arrived including curdled milk which wasn't that pleasant and the rooms a bit dusty so could do with a good spring clean.
