Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally located home. A short stroll to the beach, cafes, resturants, bars and supermarket. Heaps of room for a large family or groups of friends with outdoor covered dinning and socialising area to enjoy the warm evenings. Room for the boat and a fish filleting bench to process your catch. A warm home with great indoor outdoor flow and all new furninshings and fully renovated inside and out to make your stay as comfy as possible.
Always happy to help and will always do my best to answer any questions before or during your stay. Please just ask away.
Nice quiet neighbourhood who are mainly permanent residents. Very helpful and happy people. There is additional parking straight across from our gate which is handy when there are a few vehicles coming and going.
