“We will definitely be staying there again. Loved it”
We had a stunning host, who was very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, had all the amenities, TV, aircon, fan, microwave, fridge, kettle. Everything was clean and tidy. Its nice and quiet, but also close enough to town centre, Leisure Island and The Heads We had a view of The Heads and the bay from our windows Safe parking off the road with remote access Highly recommend you stay there
