Very quiet and lots of good sleep was had during our stay. You have loads of options on things to do there. A short walk can take you to a supermarket, fish and chip shop, amusements and a couple of other shops too. We loved our holiday here. Just drive carefully along the private road, leading to the property, as it is rather bumpy.

The bungalow had plenty of room for all of us and was very comfortable. The games room was a big hit and so was being so close to the beach. The sunrises on the beach and sunsets over the lagoon were a highlight. One small problem (which did NOT spoil our enjoyment) was the dishwasher, the large plates stop the water sprayer going round so crockery and cutlery were not cleaned properly, we washed the large plates and glasses by hand which helped. Thank you Rupert and Helen for a lovely family break. Annette
