Not directly on beach as there is a privately owned grassy paddock between the units and the beach, but great beach access. Views are very good. Relaxed atmosphere in quiet natural surroundings. Woke up to birds and waves. Recommended.

The apartment was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Owen was very friendly and helpful. Really loved the fact that there was fruit, yoghurt, juice and bread for breakfast.
