Great quiet location so near the beach and only a few minutes walk to the coffee shop in the morning. Accomodation was bright, airy, modern and oh so comfortable. My dog also loved the enclosed backyard!

We had a brilliant time staying at Driftwood Cottage. It was well located, affordable, tidy, and had everything we needed during our stay.

Perfect location in paradise

A great space for a family holiday, even with your pet dog! There are many great finishing touches, a well stocked kitchen, a modern and clean BBQ, pet accessories (bowls, mats), outdoor setting, nice sized fenced yard, table tennis in the garage, good modern AC in the lounge room. Hopefully, it can get a few upgrades over time such as a dishwasher and AC units for the bedrooms. Master has a ceiling fan, which is great.

Fab house - perfect location

This is such a great property, so close to the beach, shops and restaurants. There is an enclosed backyard for the fur family members as well. The small touches made this a special place: candles, dog beds and towels, firewood for the outdoor fireplace p, clean BBQ, outdoor setting, table tennis with balls and paddles, fully functional google tv, wi fi is excellent, street is quiet, coffee at the local shop is perfect.
