As described very retro.More spacious then expected, very peaceful. Owners choose to rent on their terms which means comfort is average, clutter high, a lot of dysfunctional clutter. No outdoor dining, mouldy furniture…
JoshNew ZealandHad great weekend with family and would love to come back soon
Great bach with everything you could need.
Unfortunately wrong address on booking which was little embarrassing but very helpful when I called
