    Well positioned. Absolutely best position possible. When needed to contact owner - immediate response. House had everything that was needed. Comfortable beds. Heating worked well. Plenty of towels. Could go on and on. Just perfect. Even when the ferry was cancelled back to the mainland - very understanding and gave a discounted rate for the additional time here.

    The upstairs sliding door - right hand side - felt like it wasn't on the rails properly which made it hard to open let alone close, so we left it closed. The kettle needs replacing as there seems to be a lot of rust inside. I found one bowl that hadn't been washed properly. Took photo just in case. Sink tap in ensuite seems to be leaking slowly. I guess these are more maintenance issues.

    The property was huge and very spacious. Plenty of bedrooms for a whole family. The views were gorgeous and it was wonderful to wake up to the ocean waves and seeing dolphins every morning. The proximity to sealing was fabulous and nothing seemed too far away. My partner and I only used the upstairs area, and were barely there because there was so much to see and do but we loved our stay and would definitely go back again.

    The view was outstanding, the facilities were excellent. The quality of sheets and towels. Attention to detail: quality toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner provided etc. Close to pub, cafes and IGA. They even had a fishing rod to use. The BBQ was excellent but was not a 8 person size it was a Weber Q, it was not a problem and cooked perfectly. The host was responsive and accomodating!

    If we could access the garage. It would be good . But it’s not an issue . Just a suggestion .

    This property is in a fantastic location, right on the seafront and just 3–4 minutes’ drive from the ferry terminal. The convenience of being within walking distance to the visitor information center and local shops made our stay incredibly easy and enjoyable. From the front balcony, we could see dolphins and whales, which was an unforgettable experience. The sunsets were absolutely amazing, and the views overall were stunning. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

    I booked two apartments for me and my family for 3 nights. The properties are only 3 minutes away from the ferry. The house is spacious and clean. IGA and cafes are within walking distance. Ellie was responsive to my requests and questions. The view from the property is just wonderful! Recommend. Thank you! ☺️

    Access was not great. We didn’t receive the code and the mobile phone was not working well Entry has to be made from the backdoor. When you arrive at night this is not very intuitive and it took us 1h and we had to borrow a phone in a pub to solve the problem Requirements when you leave are tight (actually you almost have to do the cleaning yourself) which was a bit surprising

    Big house Well located close to the ferry and to Penneshaw where you will find everything you need Good choice to spend a few nights on the island
