What a great location and the view was unreal. Everything about this property was above our expectations. We walked everywhere. The walks along the beach were memorable. Great places to eat. The area is so quiet and friendly. We will return and spend a longer visit next time.

"GOOD LOCATIONICE APARTMENT"

8.0

Our apartment No 12 was located at the back of the building unfortunately rooftops obstructed view of the ocean. Apartment was clean and comfortable rooms were just big enough beds were good pillows were O.K. short drive to restaurants and cafe's. Apartment has a lift. Plates, glasses mugs cutlery etc all provided. Good value for money.

Apartment 12 is at the back of the building with rooftops obstructing the ocean view. It also backs onto a primary school so you hear screaming kids 1st thing in the morning.

A stunning place to stay. The view surpasses any photos. An extremely comfortable apartment, equipped with everything needed for a great stay. Good quality bed linen & towels and very comfy beds. Communication was excellent. Quiet location but within walking distance of shops & cafes. Excellent coffee & cakes at the Bee Box just around the corner. Due to a last-minute cancellation of our Picton ferry on the day of our departure, we had to completely change our onward travel plans. Thankfully, our hosts kindly accommodated a slightly later departure to allow us time which was so helpful.

Having to leave. Wished we had been able to stay longer.
