Cosy unit within walking distance of the beach
The unit was clean, comfortable and filled with all the essentials needed for a short to medium length stay. I contacted the owner about a small issue and he was extremely receptive and polite. The deck was nicely sheltered for our dog so he stayed dry even during the rainy night. Would highly recommend this unit for families or couples travelling with a well behaved dog.

Our Labrador loved this accomodation and so did we. Really relaxing, can’t beat the location, beds were clean and comfortable and bathroom very clean also. Visiting Bagnalls Beach (about 10 minute drive) which is dog off leash 24/7 is a must. Would love to come back

Good setup of an old house divided into 2. We’ll set out and fitted out. Very comfortable and great position. Only complaint not being able to access drive. There looked to be plenty of room to accommodate 2 cars.

What a gem
This would have to be one of the best dog friendly stays we’ve had. Bryan was very easy to communicate with, answering questions promptly. The duplex was very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. The fully enclosed verandah was very comfortable and was perfect if we needed to leave the dogs while going out. Being only a block from the beach, shops and cafes was the icing on the cake. Will definitely be back.
