The owner was very nice, he showed me around the house on check-in. The house is a lovely renovated farmhouse that really gave the “get away cottage” vibes. Be ready to drive ~30 minutes on a dirt road to get there, but don’t be afraid, my 2 wheel drive compact car did it just fine, the road is in good condition. There’s a nice little trail going to the sea very nearby.

We had the cabin and it was AMAZING! Just a cozy, wood cabin vibe. Three rooms so lots of options for our group (I think there were 8 beds total). The kitchen space was a bit small but had everything we needed. The host who greeted us was the best. We are not sure his name, but serious appreciation to him. The property is a working farm close to a beach and the Elephant Rock formation. 10/10 would recommend!

We absolutely loved the location and the manager was extra nice. However, the cabin was not very clean and there was mold in every corner of the cabin. The sheets and towels were clean!

Loved staying here. Very peaceful and quiet with great walking paths around it. It is a bit of a drive off the highway but you are rewarded at the end for sure!

Cottages were amazing for our family. Kitchen was equipped with all the required utensils. We went with cottage because we wanted the private bathrooms. There were 8 beds in the cottage, they did give 4 bed sheets. We had to put them on whatever beds we choose to sleep on. :) Unfortunately there was no shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. We didn't get any notification that it won't be there. This place was amazing and surrounded with lambs, horses and birds. would recommend to any one.

My family especially likes the beach behind our cabin with seals on the other side. And we could walk to the famous rock in 20 minutes and come back in 10 minutes. The cabin is big. Only drawback is no cooking oil or salt/sugar in the Kitchenette, but the staff was very nice , he borrowed us his salt so we could be able to make some simple breakfast
