"Great location. Comfortable stay."

9.0

Great location with short walk to the pancake rocks. Comfortable bed and plenty of space. Tea/coffee provided.

Bathroom/kitchen are dated but perfectly functional and very clean. A bottle opener/corkscrew would be appreciated for those of us on holiday and wanting to enjoy a drink!

"Exceptional"

10.0

Very big and comfy apartment. Walkable to the pancake rocks (about 10 mins). Partial sea view from the apartment.

Wifi and mobile connection was very spotty, but to be expected given the remoteness of the location and mentioned ahead of time. Host gives very clear instructions before check-in regarding property and surrounding area which is very helpful, but was very slow to respond to the messages on booking.com after check-in. Not a big deal, but something which could be improved for future guest experiences.

"Comfortable stay in great location"

8.0

Fantastic location within walking distance of great beaches and the Pancake Rocks, spacious, well maintained, reasonably well equipped. Self check in but very good communication from owners/ management.

Interior a little dated in places. Hot and cold water had a brown tinge (no information provided) and noise insulation from unit above not ideal.

"A perfect spot for visiting the pancake stacks and walking tracks"

8.0

Its location was great for seeing the local sights with fabulous views of the beach and the sunset. Friendly owners on site. I believe the property was built using up-cycled materials so hats off to the owners.

The kitchen lacked a lot of equipment for self catering.
