"A wonderful place to hang out at the beach for a few days. Quiet and well-appointed cottage"

10.0

We loved being right on the beach. Just a few steps from the porch and we were in the water. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in and the water pressure in the shower was great. Super comfortable beds and the hostess was kind enough to lend us beach towels (which we forgot). Lots of great beaches to explore without having to drive anywhere!

Nothing.

"Perfect Spot!"

10.0

Location Location Location - what a beautiful spot! Right on the beach and everything you need. We stayed as a family with adult children for a family friend's daughter's 21st. The place was magic and perfect for our needs. It is spacious and modern. The kitchen was great and we were able to have breakfast on the deck looking at the ocean. We swam multiple times and that is just a small walk down some steps. We also walked down the beach and up the hill to see the views. Highly recommend.

"Overall good accomodation and peaceful spot."

7.0

Easily accessible location and beachfront. Tranquil spot.

Not very private in the unit I stayed in. Not absolute beachfront as was behind another unit and owners unit right next door.

"Paradiesische Lage"

9.0

Das Motel liegt wunderschön an einer Bucht, mit grossen blühenden Bäumen im Garten. Unsere Zimmer und die Terrasse hatten einen direkten Blick aufs Meer und den Sonnenuntergang. Küche, Bad und Zimmer waren neu renoviert und alles war sehr gut gepflegt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

"Ganz tolle Unterkunft in bester Lage - needs a little renovation."

9.0

Super nettes Team vor Ort, sehr hilfsbereit und zugewandt. Tolle Lage, geht nicht besser. Super sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Friedliche und ruhige Umgebung. Toller Strand direkt an der Unterkunft, über eine Treppe zu erreichen. In der kleinen Anlage gibt es Sitzmöglichkeiten mit Tisch mit Blick aufs Meer.

Moskitonetze an Türen und Fenstern sind leider nicht vorhanden, nur Insektenspray. Leider waren Moskitos in der Unterkunft. Das erste Mal in 5 Wochen Australien/Neuseeland, dass wir richtig viele Mückenstiche hatten und nachts deswegen nicht schlafen konnten. Die Sessel/Polster sollten getauscht werden. Sie sind sicher sauber, es wird sehr gründlich geputzt, aber sie sehen einfach nicht mehr so aus.
