Mr Wheeler
A property that lacks nothing in a location that provides breathtaking views across the bay and town. The standard of comfort is high and for our party of four, three seniors and one millennial it suited all our needs. So handy too for the town and restaurants . Our four days simply flew by with no problems at all. Highly recommended.

A comfortable house with fabulous views and lovely terraces outside. Be prepared for walking up steep hills which ever route you take back from town but a fair price to pay for the views!
