We loved staying in this quirky, characterful cottage in a beautiful setting on the doorstep to all the places and activities we wanted to experience on the peninsula.
The cottage is an experience in itself and if you are the person sleeping upstairs you need to be prepared to climb up and down a stair ladder into a loft space that is confined. The living space is small so you had better like the people staying with you!
It is quaint and charming, warm and welcoming.
Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful stay. Hosts Barbara and Ian very welcoming. Visited Albatrosses and went to Allan's beach. Lots of sealions. Enjoyed seabirds around the coast. Lovely and quiet. Julia 🌞

Delightful experience in the cottage and friendly hosts. Flowers on the table and eggs and milk in the fridge was very welcoming.
Worked for four adults, but living space is limited and need to be aware of access to attic bedrooms.
