Very lovely owner created my husband and I on arrival plenty of parking and right by the beautiful beach - it’s got beautiful bars just a walks away from your room, the bed was super comfortable and very true to size we booked a Dulux king room. Amazing tv - we definitely will be staying for our quick trips home.

We loved Esthers place. It matches exactly her descption on the booking site. The garden was very beautiful. The only sounds in this quiet neighborhood were the birds tui tui and blackbird on the early morning hours. The two beds in separate rooms, one of which was king size, were among best we have had on our journey. We were very satisfied. This is good value for your money.

Fantastic space with everything you need for a weekend away. The property was squeaky clean and to top it off had an excellent host! Great location right behind a cafe and walking distance to so many other options. Thanks for our stay
