Location and authenticity! Being nestled amongst the beach bush and the way it just felt like “home”. The attention to detail with the swing on the deck and the highlight, the treehouse lookout. Most relaxing stay we have ever had.

There was nothing we didn’t like

An unforgettable stay with amazing hosts in the perfect surf setting.

10.0

The atmosphere was incredible—relaxed, welcoming, and perfectly suited for a coastal getaway. Nic and Marina went above and beyond to make us feel at home, and Nic’s surf knowledge added a really special touch. The place itself is comfortable, well-kept, and has everything you need for a great stay.

If you are a group of carefree, free-spirited 20-something year old surfers or adventure seekers, you will like it this place. Luckily, I was alone in the whole house that weekend, so it was okay and very peaceful. Otherwise, if you are not in the above-mentioned age group, book their bungalows instead. They looked very decent. I didn't go inside them as I had booked a room inside the main house.

Professionalism of the staff, the cleaness and the comfort of the place.

Everything in the building was perfect.

Peaceful hidden gem 🌊

10.0

Great place to escape the rat race reality. The property has good energy and really amazing people. Hope to stay longer next time.

It’s a secluded area with no access to e-hailing services like uber. Public transport is not close by. It would be best to drive there if you plan on sightseeing.

We loved the chilled decor and open space in the garden; it felt very relaxing. The proximity to the beach was also super convenient

When we booked, we didn't read the details correctly and missed that the room we booked was a room in the house with shared amenities and kitchen. Double-check before you do. We came to celebrate our anniversary and found it uncomfortable sharing space with people, but that is our own doing. We could find no fault with the facility and services offered.
