The coastal retreat is just beautiful and a perfect place for get away. It's actually bigger than I expected especially the lounge kitchen area. It's spotlessly clean with well chosen decor that adds style without being cluttered. The fire place is fantastic we visited in the heart of winter and used the split system for 15mins and then just hadn't the fire going. It's also really easy to use - we have only used an open fire once before. Its in a great location only 10mins to the hot springs and 5mins to an awesome micro brewery called St Andrews that use to home to great horses champions - it's a must visit with fantastic food and wine. There is also a cute group of shops that include pizza, fish and chips, bottle store and milk bar. Plus all the beautiful back beaches! The sand and cliffs are so picturesque. A perfect place all year round. I highly recommend it to others!
