Stayed Dec 6, 2025The hosts couldn’t do enough to make sure we had everything we needed. The Bach was spotlessly clean and cozy. It was just a short stroll down to the beach. The neighbourhood is laid back and super chill. There is a wonderful cafe down by the surf club ( also dog friendly).

Stayed Jul 11, 2025The weather was biblical but the welcome so warm. Everything was immaculate and cosy. We had lovely breakfast supplies in the fridge. Thoroughly enjoyed the fresh eggs! Lovely toiletries, which we really appreciated and a bed that had an electric blanket should you need it! We would definitely stay again. Thanks Merril for having us.
