Positives: Fabulous little cottage, very homely & comfortable. Large outdoor rear covered deck with BBQ & entertaining area. Good size backyard for our dog, who found the property very comfortable too. 5 min walk into town & beach. Undercover carport garage for your vehicle. Negatives: Can be a noisy road at times when we were sleeping mostly in the early morning being a residential area. Would be better with sheets & towels included in the price as other properties do include. Outside 2nd toilet should be available to use even with 3 people, states you must have 4 or more people.

Magical Madolly
We had an amazing stay at Madolly. The house has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Our kids and dogs enjoyed playing in the secure back yard and we loved waking to the beach each day. Madolly is walking distance to everything you need/want. Restaurants, cafe, parks, walks, beaches and more. We felt totally relaxed and at home. We will definitely be booking again.

Winter getaway
We have stayed in this property once before and it was nice so we decided to come again. This was one of those rare occasions where the property has actually gotten better! The Reno’s to the bathrooms and better heating have improved the property a lot, and we can’t wait to come back again next year.

My wee dog loved the big yard and we appreciated it was fully enclosed. Loved our stay - some more chairs in lounge wouldn’t go amiss and mildly annoying taking own sheets and towels but other than that fantastic

Pleasant family holiday stay
The accommodation is walking distance to the beach, the local shops and restaurants. The owner was very easy to communicate with and gave clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out procedures. The property is very dog friendly. We brought our 2-year old cavoodle with us and he liked exploring the backyard.
