Peaceful getaway on the coast
Mollie and Moe’s place was lovely! Check in was easy and location was quiet and had an amazing view. Key pickup was easy. Note is that the drive out is loose gravel and a small patch of soft sand - not bad though, as my Toyota Corolla made it through easily. Definitely recommend.

Awesome Getaway
Although the weather wasn't the best, the location more than made up for it. Fantastic place to get away to and will definitely be back. There is everything you could need at the bach and the fire is amazing. I spent hours on deck just listening to the sea. Juwhat I needed

Great getaway spot
Lovely classic bach in the middle of nowhere, neighbours were quiet and very few cars passing (maybe 15-20/day). All the amenities were great - the fire heats the property up beautifully. Only small thing is that the tank water has a lot of sediment in it so consider bringing your own water if that would bother you. Would recommend and would return.
