This place grows on you. We spent a month there - February 2023 - and progressed from an initial reaction that the place needs an update to a realisation that it actually served our requirements very well. We wanted somewhere near the beach (tick); where you could leave the car and walk (tick); not isolated (tick); a good base for having a look around (tick) and probably most importantly, where we felt comfortable (big tick). Yes, the bathroom could do with an update, but it’s clean with a great shower; the oven controls are difficult to read but easily remembered; if you aren’t familiar with the aircon/heating unit you might need some instruction (slide the lower cover on the hand control unit down to reveal the necessary buttons). This accommodation is aimed at those who want to focus on the beach/surf and would probably score a 5 star rating in that regard. It is less likely to score as highly from those seeking a 5 star hotel experience. But we thoroughly enjoyed it.
