We loved our stay overall, however there was a few small issues that could've been improved: 1) A gardener visited during the day of one of our stays to mow the lawns. Luckily we were leaving the property so it didn't interupt our stay, but had it been the day before when we had a family BBQ planned, it would've been awkward to ask him to come back another time. 2) Pillows in the bedrooms had a slight musty smell, probably from not drying properly when being washed. 3) Smoke alarm went off downstairs and it was difficult to stop (given ceiling height). I eventually was able to get to it through the louvers from the bedroom and disabled it and left it on the dining table downstairs (it might need a battery change).

Great getaway with family and friends

This house was such an amazing experience, where friends become family and ingredients become meals, such unique and beautiful decor that lights up a room, a world of games and possibilities for everyone to share, the experience within this one rental home (not house) cannot be summarised into such little words, I will leave it by saying we all enjoyed the stay and would recommend it forever!

Faultless Stay

This property is a credit to the owners. Beautifully presented, incredible location and kitchens were all very well stocked. Ample space and the 2 kitchens are great for prepping and entertaining. We didnt want to leave. We were very lucky with the weather, however only issue could be the outside stairs to move between, if rainy.

Perfect Family Getaway

We spent 8 wonderful nights a Cavella, the perfect family getaway to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. Clean, stylish, spacious, comfortable and homey! Great living and dining areas and a lovely back yard. Comfortable beds and beautiful linen bedding. Fantastic location, walk to the beach and coffee just up the road. Clyde & Stacey were very accommodating, replying to any requests very quickly. We highly recommend Cavella, we can’t wait to return!

Great relaxing spot

Had a wonderful 5 night stay at Clyde's property. With two separate self contained dwellings on the property we were able to have a good time together and apart. Good for older families whose kids can stay apart and enjoy it all the same. Good size BBQ, great interior decoration and excellent kitchen and laundrey.

Brilliant accomodation for families

We stayed with another family and the place was great for all of us. It was clean and tidy, provided linen as well as some games, high chair and baby bath also. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and shops nearby. We liked having the two separate living areas also. Would love to come again in the summer.

Perfect get away

The stay at penguins was clean, comfortable and uninterrupted! The house is beautiful and so comfortable with immaculate finishes! The neighbors are friendly, the short walk to the beach is fantastic and we are just minutes away from the shops! The owners did not interrupt us once and over all was an incredibly enjoyable stay ??

Great accommodation for combined family holiday.

We had a fantastic family week and the accommodation suited our group of 7. The property is well located with a short walk to the beach and quiet surroundings. The garden is well done and maintained and the house is easy care. A good holiday all round.

Perfect for a large family

Very happy with this property for our family pre Christmas catch-up. The two separate floors, were ample in size, identical amenities, ensuring the separate family members had everything they needed for their children. Upstairs living is large, you can fit 10 around the dining table which was perfect. Beach so close, with the second one 5 minute drive away. Fully enclosed yard for the little ones, with a lovely garden and soft grass to run on. Plenty of books, games etc. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time.
