  Comfortable for long stay, definitely recommend

  It was quiet and peaceful, close to activites making it easy to do things and get around. Penny and Derek were friendly and good hosts.

  Breakfast was not what we expected, but it can be improved to be more consistent. For long stays, the washing line to dry clothes can be improved.

  Wir sind sehr freundlich von den Gastgebern empfangen worden. Sie geben sich alle Mühe, damit man sich wohlfühlt. Wir konnten etwas länger in der Unterkunft bleiben, da unser Rückflug erst später am Tag ging. Das Apartment ist perfekt eingerichtet, es ist alles da was benötigt wird. Alles war absolut sauber und gepflegt! Wir hoffen beim nächsten Mal etwas länger bleiben zu können !

  Very good

  I needed a clean, safe and comfortable apartment nearby my project work site and Pender Cottage more than met my needs. The apartment was spacious, delightfully comfortable and well-equipped, even a private outdoor courtyard. I was welcomed by my hosts who made sure I was comfortably settled in and had everything I needed.

  Not impressed

  The accommodation that they moved us to on the second night was better. The bed was comfortable and so was the lounge. Big open plan kitchen and lounge with lovely patio. The hosts were very kind and friendly.

  We booked accommodation with a bath and shower only to discover on arrival that the room they put us in only has a shower. They offered us a smaller room with a bath and shower, so we moved our luggage to the smaller room the same night. The bed was very uncomfortable and my husband slept on the couch and I woke up with back ache. The fridge leaked onto the kitchen floor and the glass water bottle they gave us had cracked from being in a deepfreeze for too long. On arrival we were given a litre of milk and some muesli with two small joghurts for breakfast and nothing else for the two days, this despite me paying extra for a "good breakfast" when booking. I do not consider that to be a good breakfast. In the morning I tried to run a bath and the tap opened but wouldn't close despite both my self and my husband battling to close it. We requested to move back to the original room so we could at least sleep in a comfortable bed on the next night despite me giving up the bath option. They gave us that room as it wasn't booked. We extended our stay for an extra night as we had extra business to attend to and were very disappointed when we were presented with an extra charge for the linen we used in the room that they put us in which had a bath that we actually booked for. It was the establishment's fault that the bath tap was faulty and had to be repaired, the bed was uncomfortable and the fridge was leaking. We had no choice but to move therefore they were at fault for charging us for linen. Not providing a good breakfast as promised and paid for by us was also disappointing. The owners were very likeable but they did not deliver on customer satisfaction.
