The coffee machine was great. The property was absolutely spotless throughout with plenty of clear information and instructions, apart from what to do with recycling. A beautifully peaceful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Couldn't recommend it enough. Swanpool was so close and it was a short walk to the beach. Fantastic. Chris was very kind and helpful..

Absolutely everything you need is provided, including a lovely welcome pack. Situation is great being just a very short walk along to Swanpool beach and the coastal path. We hope to return in early 2025. Chris, the owner, lives on site and is super helpful. Thank you for a great stay
