Great location

Great location. The house is comfortable. We had an issue with the toilet that was resolved quickly as the person in charge of the house was easy to get in touch with. We had a great time.

Smiths Beach Cabin

This is a great little beach house in a lovely location and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The problem is that a lot of things need fixing and/or updating to make it an exceptional stay. Minor repairs need to be made or completed, and things like plumbing and power points need addressing (an awful lot of power boards) plus remotes for TV and Aircon were awful. Would be a terrific house with these upgrades. The host was super to deal with and I am sure is aware of these few issues.

Would definitely come again

We had a lovely time. Nice little house, easy walking distance to two beautiful beaches. Hot water in the kitchen would have made things much more convenient for us and the description of beds in the bedrooms on the website was not quite right. But otherwise a nice place, we would absolutely stay here again.
