Everything but the price, which was very expensive for three nights

Exceptional stay, incredible beach side accommodation and immaculate apartment

Superb location opposite the beach, near restaurants and cafes. Apartment was immaculate, we were able to whale watch from our bed, the living room and the balcony.

Guest review

9.0

Location was great The view was nice, however partially blocked by a building. Kitchen was well stocked with tea/coffee, milk and utensils. Beds were very comfortable!

− We had to clean the glass panels on the balcony in order to sit at the table and see the view. We couldn't find a ironing board, even though there was an iron.

Lovely spot, good unit, just need to iron out your checkin processes

7.0

Good location and great views

− Checkin process was a nightmare. Checking in after 3pm (instead of industry standard 2pm) is a bit rich, plus we were delayed when the lady didn’t come at the arranged time. We filled in all the paperwork well ahead of time but she clearly hadn’t read it and asked all the same questions again. Just get a lockbox! The glass balustrades on the balcony needed cleaning, made it hard to enjoy the views

Wonderfully designed and appointed apartment in a fabulous location.

10.0

Wonderfully designed and appointed apartment in a fabulous location. The sound of the waves was great sleep therapy. Clean. Plenty of kitchen utensils and appliances. Clear instructions from the owner. I'd happily stay there again.

− Nothing.

Convenient location but too many irritants

5.0

DIY breakfast but good location for convenience store and restaurants.

− No bathrobes (which you'd expect for this rate), no milk jug and milk provided was in a silly 'popper' designed to be drunk through the straw so squirted all over when you tried to pour it, no scissors among utensils. Couldn't find dishwasher and no dish drying rack worth the name.
