During the coldest nights of the year, we were cosy and warm at Pixies. The kitchen is stocked with appliances more than my own house, so everything is there. You really can hear the sound of the surf at night. The walk to the ocean beach was a little longer than 10mins and an easy walk. Having the local milk bar and fish and chips shop (literally 50m away) was convenient. We also used the bbq. Huge tv and comfy lounges. Although sitting in front of the fireplace with a board game was addictive! Upstairs area perfect for older kids. The door lock is electronic so no need to remember a key all the time. Bring gumboots
