The location of this property is absolutely stunning. Just walk across the road and you are dipping your feet into the water. A short walk into town for dinner, coffees and browsing the shops. The owners were out the gate amazing, so helpful especially when we needed to stay another night due to an extreme weather event, just beautiful people.

The only niggle is the hot water pressure isn't great but we managed
