Summary: Very friendly, informative and helpful host. We stayed at 4 Buffalo Beach road (there is a sister property at 13, a short walk away). Right on the beach road (you only have to walk up the driveway to see the beach). We stayed in Unit 11: a lovely ground floor studio with combined lounge area and kitchenette (sofa and TV, coffee table, dining table and two chairs). Fridge, microwave, 2 ring hob, electric frying pan, toaster, kettle, crockery, cutlery, utensils, etc Separate bedroom with good sized comfortable bed, with TV. Separate shower room with toilet. Everything very clean, in very good condition. We used the laundry at No. 13, hanging the washing out to dry on the line at No. 4. We were offered beach towels and a mini shovel - which we used at Hot Water Beach. Plenty of choice of TV channels. Parking right outside our unit. Within easy walking distance of the town centre and the passenger ferry/wharf - from where a number of boat tours depart. We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Marlin
