Fantastic Property
What an amazing accommodation. There were so many personal touches & everything you could possibly want.& then some. Everything was so neat and clean. The bed was so comfortable. Loved the towels, have actually ordered them for our home. Beautiful private garden with separate access. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to stay in this area. Great communication with the hosts.

Daughter’s wedding staycation
We were greeted by our host and then politely left to ourselves with the knowledge that we could contact her anytime. Lovely, well equipped property. Beautiful decore and a nice view of the garden. Pitter, patter of feet and paws from the owners above but nothing to be bothered about. A couple of minor housekeeping issues but, again, nothing to cause concern. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Thank you Julie

Really well decorated and comfortable
Lovely sun lit space and so nice you can take your dog. Nice area and easy enough to drive to many attractions nearby. Only negative is they have a very loud small dog breed that barked and you can hear everyone walking above head.

Relaxing, well-appointed, spotless.
Warm and comfy stay for 2 nights. Hosts were gracious & welcoming with prompt and helpful communication. The studio was luxuriously appointed, with every convenience (beach towels, doggy treats, washer/dryer, guest account for streaming services, brolly, BBQ, outdoor dining setting), and overlooking an immaculate garden which my small dog loved as much as l did! Fabulous nights' sleep on "pillow-top" mattress. Will definitely be recommending to fam and friends, thankyou Julie and Steve!

Spick and span, peaceful haven
Had a lovely relaxing peace-filled time at Gentle Waves. A beautiful hideaway. Incredibly well-appointed. Julie and Steve have been super lovely, and have truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and regenerative. I wish we had a few more days to hang out there
