We had a wonderful time in a very complete cabin. We could cook because of a good d fridge and cooking tools. The owner reacted adequately when another guest tried to claim our cabin., very late in the evening. And we saw 4 sea lions on the beach. We can recommendate this accommodation.

Great location as near the beautiful big beach. Saw a sea lion basking in the sun. Cabin was well equipped, though a shelf in the bathroom for our toilet bag would have been useful.

Loved being so close to a beach at which e could watch sea lions. Kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment, and the cooks knife in our cabin was amazingly sharp (a rarity in holiday parks).
