This property has 4 self-catering apartments. We stayed there a few years ago and found it excellent. It has since changed hands and the apartment we booked this time was The Villa which cost $178.20 per night. We were there for 3 nights. We found the apartment to be very small, especially the ensuite.||Also, we had to park on the grass a short distance from the entry door. Luckily we had good weather but if it was wet it wouldn't be much fun. On their website the Villa was listed as new. It wasn't.

Penguins squark at night from the beach across the road. Truly a lovely relaxing and very comfortable...
Read moreWe recently enjoyed four nights in the Studio Apartment at Tidelines.||Steve and Sandy have provided everything you need for a lovely relaxing break away, with the added bonus of being able to take our dog with us.||The unit is well appointed, clean and comfortable with a great bed, kitchenette with cooking facilities, quality linen and towels. The bathroom is tiny, but was all we needed.||We appreciated the little extra touches, like dvds, magazines, butter and jams, and kitchen items like salt and pepper. ||Tidelines was within walking distance of the local shops, and with easy access to the foreshore walk, leading to beaches and stunning scenery.||Steve and Sandy were so lovely and welcoming. We can’t wait to return soon. Thank you for your...
