"We stayed in the two room apartment...each one a separate room. Excellent value. Upstairs from a great restaurant, across the road from the nor-wester Cafe (an excellent cafe). For the money this property is basically perfect. "

"Well folks, read real close..This story will disclose, This place ought to be hushed down, For all there greatest things abound! Kevin and and Gail...the holy grail! The staff and Hector's...I'll never forgetter. Walk the beach or read a book, This park is a definite hook! We adored our stay, wish this life every darn day! If there were more than 5 stars.....I would have added!"

"We loved our stay at Flaxmere Guest Cottage. The cottage was warm, sunny and spacious. Comfy beds with lovely linen and a woodburner. We self catered and it was perfect for staying in by the fire in the evenings. It was lovely being able to wander through the magnificent gardens. A truely unique place and we’d definitely rebook. "

"Would have liked to be supplied with top up tea/coffee etc. Very compact as the name suggested as a tiny home. The grass slop to walk down to the tiny home did not have lighting down it and was dangerous as it was wet. The steps up to the tiny home had a fountain covering half the step, we found this dangerous, and had no lighting to safely nagavate to the tiny home. We had brought a little torch otherwise was could not have got into the tiny home safely. "

"The host was very good at presenting the property and seeing me to my room which he upgraded. Very comfortable with everything I needed."

"Lovely motel. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly greeting at check-in with lots of helpful information."

"Just an outstanding stay with wonderful hosts who have created a warm and creative atmosphere inside and out. We felt hugely welcomed. …and our dog Elton had the time of his life—he arrived back home happily exhausted! "

"From the time that we set eyes on your cottage we were hooked. The beautiful gardens front and back and the birds eating apples ,,. The atmosphere of the batch was amazing., We cranked up the fire and cooked potatoes so cool; Life as we knew it is still achievable.. Will definitley be back - .thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise."

"This was a great find! Maybe the most comfortable bed of our trip. Great hosts. It had everything we needed. Sorry we didn’t get to use our spa bath or the pool. "
