Very clean room, super great / helpful staff, great free amenities (bikes, beach chairs, games, coolers etc). Location is perfect, right by the beach and in a quiet area. If we could give it 10 stars, we would. This was our 12th accommodation in 5 weeks and, by far, the best.

From the minute we arrived the staff were so welcoming & helpful. They even supplied everything you could need for the beach (1 min to beach), including Eskies, towels, sun loungers, trolley & beach chairs. The apartment had all amenities you could wish for self catering & there are plenty of restaurants & bars within easy reach. I will return, it's just a gem you love to find & return. Thankyou to Brad & the girls fabulous stay
