    The view was magnificent, the location(close to shops) was great. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable and sheets clean, pillows lovely. Plenty of space with the 2 living areas. And loved the enclosed top veranda so we could sit out...

    The location was very good with beautiful views of the ocean and we even saw whales breaching.
  • Leah

    This house was in the best location! Literally across the road from Caves Beach which was patrolled (school holidays) and Mylo’s Cafe. We only tried the coffee but everything looked delicious. So much to explore within walking distance- Split...
