Highly recommend for a short stay!

Perfect location for us, quiet and away from town, private with small balcony, all the amenities that were required, friendly host, off street parking, warm, clean and tidy - overall a great location and experience. Would stay here again

Sadly the sofa was not comfortable at all to sit on - only a small thing and it didn't change the positive experience of the stay

Exceptional

Beautifully clean property in an incredible location. It was comfortable and there were so many lovely touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. Tracy and her husband are absolutely delightful and we were so grateful to them for letting us stay in their beautiful accommodation in this truly wonderful part of the world!

The loveliest hosts and beautiful apartment

The duplex apartment was a beautiful place to stay, with a kitchen, lounge area, bathroom and large double bedroom with views of the mountains. Everything was immaculate and I loved the electric blanket on the bed when the temperature dropped and little touches to make it feel like home. Hosts Tracy and Murray were really welcoming, and as I was on my own kindly invited me to join them for dinner at a local restaurant. The location is 5 minutes drive from the main area with restaurants and shops, and 10 mins to seal beach and the peninsula walk.

Everything was perfect :)

Very good

Clean and tidy, chocolates a nice treat, host very friendly and helpful.

Room was over furnished so a little cluttered. It wasn’t really a motel as there was limited kitchen facilities.

A couples retreat in complete solitude & paradise

We loved everything. Tracy was an amazing host. This lovely retreat had everything you could ask for. We needed to check in late but that was no issue for Tracy. We were warmly greeted and shown everything in the apartment. We even had fresh milk left in the fridge for us. The views were breathtaking. the linens and towels were gorgeous and plush. A fully kitted out kitchenette made for easy in home dining. We would definitely recommend First Light to all our friends and family. We look forward to staying again.

There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like.

Superb

Wonderful welcome on arrival. Shown the facilities by the owner which was very useful and she helped us get a load of washing on straight away. Initial impression that the unit was a little small, especially the kitchen, but very efficient use of space meant that this largely was not a problem. Very well orientated to the sun so excellent for drying washing. Good location for walks and good view of mountains from upstairs bedroom verandah.

Portable hot plates have to be taken out of a cupboard and when in use there is reduced bench space in the kitchen.

Loved it...great host we felt instantly welcomed.

Excellent location away from the hustle and bustle...just what we love! Lovely quite space in a family home...but yet private and doesn't feel like your in someone's home...great!

The shower space was a tad smaller than usual...well compared to home.
