    The location was right on the beach and immediately adjacent to the causeway out to the island. The apartment was nicely appointed and had everything you need.
  • Susan

    The location was great. It was right on the water so you could hear the pounding waves. The room was very large and had lots of amenities.
  • Andrew
    Australia Australia
    Great location right on the beach with large grounds and stunning views. The on-site restaurant was lovely. The kids loved looking for penguins at night on the grounds. The owners were very friendly and helpful. It had a real family feel to it.
