We enjoyed our stay over Labour weekend. The view is great, the accommodation is comfortable and nice and close to the shops and cafes. It was very quiet with just the morning birdsong to wake up to. We were very impressed with the size of the quails that visited us during our stay!
We suggest the instructions for the dishwasher be redone as they are very difficult to read. Also perhaps consider having Chromecast on the TV?
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely property.

A nice, clean property with all the amenities. The listing could have made it clearer that the third bedroom was literally just a bunk in the hall by the front door curtained off from the hallway. But apart from that, a great house

A spacious character home with excellent modern facilities in a beautiful bird-frequented garden with a great view of the harbour. The walk up the hill a bit challenging for four 75-85 year olds!

Lovely house - large & spacious with plenty of room for two families.
The kids loved the curtained sunroom to sleep in and coming off the hallway meant it was isolated.
Clean and functional kitchen and two bathrooms.
Outdoor wrap around deck and two tables meant you could sit in the sun no matter what time of day - we spent most of our time out there with amazing views of the harbour.
Will stay again

Fantastic spot to get away
The house was cosy, as it was a wintry day, prewarmed and very well laid out. The living space was inviting and the view was awesome. The family really enjoyed the closeness to the township and we walked everywhere without needing the car all weekend.

Great location and very comfortable
Nice house with wonderful view of the harbor. House well stocked with paper products, salt, pepper, foil ,etc. Which is so helpful since we arrived by airplane and couldn't bring all of the essentials.
Ability to have privacy out on decks. Highly recommend.
