Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The accomodation has a superb location right on the beach and within easy reach of more magnificent beaches like Cannibal bay. The hosts are friendly, accomodating and could not be more helpful. The cooking facilities were good for our two day short stay and would be fine for a longer stay. There are fresh eggs available from chickens which are right next to the lodge. Sea lions regularly visit the bay and we saw them both on the beach and in the sea a few metres from it. We enjoyed the whole time and would have loved to have had more time to explore the area.
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Perfect place, welcoming hosts and ideal location for local beaches and wildlife.
