My partner and I stayed at the Beach Retreat for our anniversary weekend. Was an absolutely beautiful spot, we had everything we could need. The owners have set out this space very well. We were able to spot seals and a whale from our sunroom over looking the beach! but our favourite part was being greeted by a large seal at the bottom of the private walk way onto the beach!

Stayed here for our honeymoon and the views and the spa were absolutely awesome! A fantastic place to just relax and review could have done with some sort of retractable shade other than just the umbrella but guess it could get pretty windy there at times which would make it difficult. Fantastic place for us to start our life as husband and wife ❤️
