The general condition was great but the weather was cold and wet and we were involved in outdoor activity during our stay we were disappointed that the bathroom was so cold that we were reluctant to go in for a shower. The shower dripped continually no matter how hard we turned the taps off. The drips splashed the bathmat so it was wet hanging on the side of the bath. We appreciated having a washing machine but no dryer made it difficult drying our outdoor clothing and washing. We liked the town, the location of the property and parking space for 2 vehicles. We would come back but at a warmer time of the year.

Easy Place in Port Macdonnell The house is small and simple but was more than enough for the two of us for a few nights. It is well located, close to everything in Port Macdonnell - walking distance from beach, shop, restaurants and pub.It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Checking in was easy, no fuss.I would stay here again.

Ben Cute little batch, was comfortable with 4 people, could squeeze in 6 with young kids. Bedding and pillows are quiet old and could do with a freshen up. Very minimal amenities, salt and pepper shakers were empty, no cooking oil or coffee etc.

Wonderful getaway The property was exactly as described. We felt so at home. The beds were really comfortable. Lots of spare blankets which was great. Pretty much walking distance to most things you would need. Would highly recommend this place if you need rest and relaxation
