This is a beautiful place to stay and the wrap around verandah is the perfect place for your morning coffee while the birds come to visit
The admin for access was appalling.
We were delayed for two hours waiting for an access code.
In the week prior I was bombarded with emails telling me to register (this had already been completed) and somehow my credit card details for the bond did not register. It took 5 phone calls; one being on hold for 14 minutes to sort out. This alone means I would not book accommodation through Verve again.
The locks on entry at the front and to the property itself need urgent maintenance.
There are notices about the delay with the hot water coming through but there was no hot water in the kitchen regardless of how long you let the water run.
The Monday morning traffic to the ferry starts very early and is continuous for some hours..we loved it but some might find it really annoying.

It was after a long, exhausting season that we finally bit the bullet and booked a little getaway. Somehow, all three of our kids had the week off and no commitments—which, with teens and young adults, feels nothing short of miraculous.
Only 45 minutes from home, this trip was everything we needed it to be: low stress, low planning, and deeply refreshing.
The place itself was just perfect. Quiet, right on the beach, with ferries gliding past, great restaurants nearby, and beds that were actually comfortable. The house was bigger than many people’s homes, yet felt warm and beautifully decorated.
It was tucked away just far enough that through traffic wasn’t an issue, but close enough that you could wander up the hill for a famous vanilla slice or ice cream (if dairy’s your friend!) or browse higher-end shops with clothes you don’t see everywhere.
Our youngest son brought a mate and they made the most of the beach, the shops, and the games we’d packed. Our eldest stayed behind to look after the dog. Our daughter, who is rarely available, came and loved it too—which made it even more special.
Most of my time was spent with my husband, who was recovering from surgery. Sitting on the wide balcony together, we drank in the view, the sea air, and the delicious smells wafting from nearby Italian and woodfired restaurants. My senses felt spoiled. As a writer needing a break from admin and demands, I chased the sun from one balcony to another, to the big meals table—each space offering fresh peace and perspective.
Four nights somehow stretched into what felt like a week, in the best possible way. We even managed to catch up with friends, watch the grand final, and simply rest.
Thank you to our host Tanya, who went over and above. This stay gave us exactly what we didn’t know we so badly needed.
Reasons to say yes!
Peaceful for most of our stay
Right on the beach with ferries gliding past
Surrounded by great restaurants with the smell of Italian and woodfire in the air
Hmm....
I hesitate to mention this, but I like to go in eyes wide open. There were some early morning/late night garbage trucks on our first night. We reached out to Tanya, and she followed it up with the rubbish company - if this had been a nightly problem, we would probably have cut the trip short.
Thankfully it was just the Thursday night, and honestly, could have been a one off situation.
There was a distinct lack of technology and massive TVS - just one medium sized telly - We found this wonderful! But those who value that stuff, might not like that aspect.
It can get windy on the front balcony - but I brought a knee blanket with me, and enjoyed the whole experience of it.
There are stairs to access the property - which some may struggle with.

The apartment was very spacious (two living areas in addition to kitchen/dining). The huge veranda with stunning bay views. Comfortable beds. Very quiet even though it is right next to the pub. Easy walk uphill to restaurants and shops. Overall fabulous.
Washing machine/dryer needed cleaning.
