The horseshoe-shaped beach invites you to swim before hiking to Mermaid Pools, a natural rock formation at low tide. Kayak through crystal-clear waters to explore nearby Whale Bay and Sandy Bay, where locals know the best snorkelling spots.
Lovely big appartment and super friendly hosts. We received a welcome email shortly after booking which was a very nice tough. Very welcoming and informative about local things to do and restaurants to visit. Highly recommend would definitely stay there again.

Booked a one bedroom unit and the rooms were very clean with comfortable beds. I thought it would be noisy as we were close to the main road but the unit was very quiet. Check in was easy and the manager/owner was lovely and very helpful. Will definitely stay there again.

Well priced and so well presented. I’ve never seen a shower so clean it was like a mirror. The staff were lovely and I liked the way the owner showed us to our room and did a final check to make sure it was perfect! Would highly recommend
