Breathtaking location!

The view is just amazing!! The beds were very comfy. Loved the bed linen and electric blanket was handy. Our host was helpful and checked on us. The lounge room was great. The numerous heaters kept us warm. We would love to return to this little piece of paradise for a much longer stay in the future.

− The shower was a bit tricky and pressure was low when hot. While the new paint looks great, it was a bit too new and the smell was a bit overwhelming. I was told it was happening before we stayed but I wasn’t expecting it to still be that strong. As it was pretty cold we couldn’t leave the doors open to reduce the smell unfortunately. Gave us both a bit of a headache.

The complimentary charcuterie board upon arrival was unexpected but delicious. The location was quiet and right opposite the beach with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The cottage had all amenities and was well maintained. Great BBQ too. Beds comfortable with electric blankets. Easy access and great communication with the owner. Thank you for letting us share K'orca Cottage by the Sea.

− Bedding was a little heavy and pillows could have been a bit more comfortable but not a biggie.
