    We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage — it was comfortable, cosy and full of character. The place is quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing, though you do get the gentle background soundtrack of corellas calling, which somehow adds to the charm.The air conditioning and ceiling fans kept the cottage cool and pleasant - and we were there during some very hot weather!. A real highlight was the wonderful library — great if you enjoy curling up with a good book. Sadly I didn’t have enough time to take full advantage of this.Location couldn’t be better: everything is within easy walking distance, including shops, coffee spots and the beautiful waterfront. Highly recommended for a relaxing break!

    A perfect place to stay, close to everything. Easy check-in. Everything you require for a short stay. Very comfortable bed. Met the elderly gentleman who owns the house. A very interesting man. Would have loved to have had more time to talk. Did read his book on his life, absolutely fascinating. Would definitely stay here again.

    The cottage was comfortable but did find the bedroom area cluttered. A little less furniture would helpI also feel the fridge could be larger.Overhead lighting left a little to be desired

    Charming, centrally located accomodation that we used as a base whilst attending a family wedding. Comfortable and clean with minimal street noise. Beautifully presented and reasonable priced.

    The cottage is small but comfy. Hosts live on site and we didn’t even get a welcome or any communication from them during our 5 night stay which was very disappointing. Good location in the town and within walking distance to cafes, pubs, wharf, train and tourist info centre.

    Very cute and charming accomodation, nicely presented with appropriate facilities. So many opportunities for eating experiences within 3 to 5 minute walking distance. We enjoyed reading about the historical significance of the cottage and other local sights. Thank you Sue for making our stay so comfortable.

    A clean and comfortable place for a little holiday; a short walking distance to restaurants and cafes, we used the car only to travel to the beach. An Excellent check in and out process and Sue was very caring and supportive with the communication. Thanks, Alan and Sue for providing such a great place to unwind :)
