I was made to feel in the way and the place was badly in need of a spring clean inside and tidy up outside. Has all the basics, toilet and shower are very very small. Would be no good for large people as they would not fit.

Great place for a couple!

Lovely, helpful owners. Great house to stay in. One room is plenty for two. It had everything we needed and the cookies were a nice touch. Beautiful birdsong greeted us in the morning. Very peaceful and quiet. The toilet is very small but the bed was very comfy.

Close to Browns Bay Bowling Club

Highly recommend. We needed a play to stay for 3 nights whilst bowling (outdoor) at Browns Bay Bowling Club. The lighthouse was idea, only a couple of km's to the club and very central to the Albany shopping centre as well, very reasonably priced compared to others of offer in this area. Thanks very much.
