Property was nice and the host was rude upon arrival and she was mean and kept coming down to see what we were doing and she reckons we were putting her out when we didn’t even speak to her or ask for anything.

this property is beautifully maintained inside and out. the beds are comfortable and all linen clean. The stove needs updating its very slow. There was no note that we shouldn't lock the front door. The location is close to the local bowling club but requires a taxi or car if travelling to the ferry terminal.

Disappointed 😔

When property advertised they should advise one that the owner occupies the upper floor. The principal of the matter! Sewerage smell out the front before entering. Premises require a proper clean. Maggots in kketk

Boathouse Magic Garden meets the sea

The owner Belinda was so welcoming and so full of local knowledge The gardens on the property were beautiful and plenty of different little spots to see the ocean and soak in the afternoon sunshine with the local wildlife There were fishing rods and tackle to use off the little deck that’s in the water plus water toys to use The back fence has a little gate to use to get to the beach which feels totally private The rooms were large and had everything you needed full size fridge and a well kept array of kitchen utensils and plates and cups for the biggest family to use It was clean and tidy We will definitely be back

Boat House

Maintenance is lacking on the interior. Lighting in 2 of the 4 bathrooms not working. Owner provided a bedside lamp in 2 of the bathrooms for a light. Power point in one of the rooms loose. Smoke detectors hanging off the ceiling with NO batteries. Toilet in Titanic not working properly Tap over kitchen sink loose, you had to hold the base of the tap to get it to work. Outside area was excellent
