  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    It’s a small 2 bedroom house. Maximum 2 people (couple or friends). I can provide a double bed or two singles. Sometimes I stay at another place, so you’ll get time for privacy also..
    I can provide a modest food budget, or give me a list and I can get it for you. I mostly eat keto style. We can cook together if the food is similar.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The beach is a 15 - 20 min walk down a big hill. I can sometimes give you a lift. There is a bicycle to borrow. Potentially use of a car but only for local trips.(currently being repaired).
    Penguin has cycle paths, a big Sunday market, cafes and supermarkets etc
