13 Sextant Drive

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was everything we had hoped for. A nice quirky house with excellent outside areas. A few minutes walk down to the sea front, a quite and relaxing area with a huge back garden for our three dogs to run around in. An excellent wood fired pizza stand at the bottom of the road (Thu, Fri and Sat) and easy access to the main road to start your adventures. The kitchen is pretty new with a brand new dishwasher. All the crockery, pots, pans and cooking utensils are provided. Nice comfortable beds which made our stay even better. We highly recommend this house and we will return again in the future."

"A charming rarity, set in beautiful tropical gardens with glimpses of rock wallabies and bush stone curlews a plenty. The room was spacious, super clean and very comfortable. A large guest swimming pool was an extra bonus, too. Communication with the host was great. The accommodation was accessible by an easy walk during the day or a 2 minute trip on the local bus day or night, which runs on a regular timetable."
