“This has been a once in a lifetime experience. The location is unbeatable with 180 degrees sea view and non-stop sea life entertaining you while you relax on the loungers. The host, Dawn, is friendly, generous and made every effort to ensure our stay is hassle free. Every amenity (and there are lots) were made available to us and we made full use of it. Joseph and Gloria looked after our every need and even arranged fresh mussels out of the ocean for us on 2 occasions. This was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable stays we've had anywhere in the world. It is special place to visit and we couldn't ask for more.”

Dawn's reviews
As a host (3)“Dawn is a wonderful host, she really pampered us, providing plenty of suggestions of things to do nearby, she even prepared us dinner for our late arrival. We also met for drinks in the city and it was an entertaining evening. When entering the house we were overwhelmed. It is very luxurious and the views are just stunning. The rooms are very bright and comfortable. We enjoyed several nights stargazing from the jacuzzi. Joseph and Gloria were also very helpful and friendly. We loved learning a bit more about there culture. We high recommend this accommodation as we will sharish this opportunity in our memories! ”
“Had a stunning week at Dawn and Chris holiday cottage at Sheffield Beach. Absolute wonderful setting and a house that both lives easily and has every imaginable facility. Dawn has been the most incredibly capable and caring host who made us feel like royalty! Her communication is superb and totally committed to making our stay both comfortable and memorable! What a star! Then we met Joephe, the housekeeper/Butler and do it all gentlemen who continued to spoil us. Wow! Viewing both whales and dolphins frolicking in the surf with long walks on the beach was good for the soul. Park run and MTB rides at Sugar Rush Park was equally special and just down the road! This was indeed a relaxing family week for us made so special by Dawn & Chris. Thank you so much! ”
