Our host was very obliging with meeting our needs and kept in close contact, with very exact instructions on how to gain entry access.The apartment had all the mod cons and more than what we utilised. To sit on the balcony and watch the storms coming across gulf were amazing. All in all it was a fantastic stay and wished we could stay longer. Highly recommend the stay. Cheers

Great, relaxing getaway.

If you love relaxing watching the ocean, well it is spectacular especially the sunsets. The walks go for miles and the shops are just a few minutes drive. I could recommend this property to people who want to enjoy a getaway by the beach, and the Moana Lifesaving Club is close.
