Summary of reviewsGuests loved the peaceful and rural setting of the property, the beautiful views from the deck, fresh eggs from chickens, and the proximity to amenities, beaches, and town.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
We had a v relaxing time , cosy , private with a great vibe.
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2025
We really loved the house and the setting. Dan and Bena have obviously put a-lot of love into the place and it feels like a real home. The highlight was feeding the chickens and collecting their eggs. Also loved watching the display of birds from the deck and the outside fire and stars at night. .
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2025
The house is in a quiet, peaceful country location with lots of birds, and only about 15 minutes drive to town. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Dan and Bena were very responsive to communications. Our second stay here. Highly recommended.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2024
The property has livestock and guests need to look after these, which is highly inappropriate and has not been mentioned in any of the property descriptions.
STAY AWAY if you allergic to pets, dirt (this place could do with as a good spring clean!!) and don't want to carry the burden of responsibility for someone else's pets/livestock.
It also feels very strange to live in someone's house, were it appears the owners are coming back any minute (clothes hanging around, the house cat [Lucy - cheeky git] wants attention and constant feeding (she looks like it - poor cat - it's nearly animal cruelty seeing that fat cat being fairly immobile due to its fatness), and the owners parents turn up randomly.
The properties furniture also seems to be from a jumble sale, as especially the bed in the master has seen much better days (my back is still hurting).
The newest pieces of furniture seem to be the couch in the living room.
The location of the property is very nice and leaves no room for complaints - idyllic! And if all the above doesn't bother you, this is the place!
