We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Mark's place. Yes the place is quirky but that's the charm and what makes it a unique experience. Mark was prompt and efficient with all comms and requests too.
There was plenty of space inside for the 2 of us, most everything you'd need and the location worked great for us with a short stroll to the beach or a 15 minute walk to the Sawtel village with a plethora of restaurants, cafes and the amazing surf club kiosk.
Despite some rain and lots of wind during our visit we enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the generous outdoor lounge area. The bathroom is outside the cottage but under cover and easy to access. The outdoor shower is novel and worked for us but may be challenging in the colder months.
All in all a great value and unique stay in the charming seaside hamlet of Sawtell. Worth checking out !
