A lovely, relaxing comfortable stay. We had family staying at Bowentown, so this was close enough to stay, but "do our own thing" too. The unit has everything to make your stay easy - from sheets & towels to cook top, microwave & air-fryer & a swiveling TV that can be viewed either in the bedroom or lounge.

Sweet space

The space is small and quite lovely. Particularly enjoyed the deck which extended the space and was both a cool, quiet, and private. On a nice, quiet road that’s a short walk to the ocean.

Small studio unit that is very well set out with everything that we needed. The outdoor room and the patio area is a lovely bonus. Easy walk along to the water views. We did find the winter bed linen hot. A good short stay stop.
