The property had stunning views from the main room, with large picture windows overlooking the sea, island, and rock formations. We especially enjoyed watching the flights descending to the nearby airport. The kitchen was fully equipped and the dining area in the main room was a great spot to enjoy meals. The communication with the hosts was excellent and parking was conveniently located adjacent to the house.
The sofa bed in the cabin was uncomfortable for adults, although it may be suitable for children. Additionally, the blinds in the bedroom could have been thicker to prevent early morning sunlight from entering the room.

Our adventure-filled stay at this property exceeded our expectations. the spacious and clean accommodation provided breathtaking views of the sunset, adding to the overall charm. the hosts' attention to detail, such as the electric blanket on a timer, made our stay extra cosy and comfortable. the property's location, with easy access to the town and beach, was a major plus. the marine artefacts added character and showcased the owners' passion. Well done!
Felt spoilt, no reason to complain.

The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking, definitely the highlight of my stay. I could see the beautiful scenery right from the comfort of my bed. The verandah with the outdoor BBQ was also a great addition, perfect for enjoying a meal while taking in the stunning surroundings. Additionally, the main bedroom was spacious and comfortable, allowing for a pleasant night's sleep.
the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. The sheets on the fold out couch were dirty, and we had to take it upon ourselves to wash and dry them.

The location of the hotel is breathtaking, with stunning views that are truly unforgettable. Guests can sit and enjoy the view for hours on end. the master bedroom is also mentioned to be fabulous, providing a comfortable and luxurious stay. the property offers generous spaces and is very tidy with everything needed and more.
The property could benefit from a makeover, as the bed cover and furniture are outdated and starting to show signs of wear.

We found a place to stay right in the heart of the city, which was incredibly convenient. the location couldn't have been better, with stunning views of the surrounding area. the house itself was cozy and warm, with plenty of heating devices to keep us comfortable. the shower was also a highlight, providing a lovely and relaxing experience.
The noise from the neighboring family with young children was quite disruptive at times.

The property is well-equipped with a kitchen and supplies binoculars for observing cruise ships, kayakers, swim clubs, and paddle-boarders. Perfect for a couple and a single traveler.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Wheelhouse Inn! the unbeatable views of the bay were breathtaking, especially from the walls of windows and the deck of the unique 1 bedroom Wheelhouse. the nautical decor added a charming touch and made us feel like we were living in a maritime heaven. the kitchen was well-kitted out for cooking, the beds were warm and cozy, and the beach, shops, and other amenities were conveniently located nearby. Truly, a wonderful experience!
Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations.

The view from the hotel was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning vistas of the surrounding area. It was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
The lack of accessibility for guests with mobility issues. The fact that there was only one toilet, and it was located upstairs, made it difficult for some members of our group to navigate.
