The location was great & property was very clean! The cabin/cottage was older & floors were very uneven!! The cottage was joined to another one & not soundproof at all! Would recommend requesting a separate cottage. Everything else was great. The convenience of having the kitchen & bbq was great! Overall a good stay!

Great location but cottage needs a refurb
These cottages are in a great location, however they could do with a bit of tlc.
I appreciate these are old, but we found the cottage we were in to be worn, old beds, very slanty flooring, lights not working and very old appliances.
But it did the job for a few nights once we got used to the quirks.

Staff was very nice! Room was very clean, the location was really good, easy, short walk to national park ocean view, it was really nice. Stayed in ING102 hot water on shower did not work. Also no designated place to smoke weed on the entire property, so wasn’t allowed, which was fine for me. But which could be an issue for someone who needs it for medical reasons.
