Towels and bed linen are offered in the homestay. The accommodation is non-smoking. Don't be put off by the name, this is pleasant accomodation and better than some that I've I have stayed at in the sub $100 price range. Everything is as it should be, it's clean and comfortable. The room was large and well decorated and had tea making facilities (although I didn't like the blends offered).

Set in tranquil country surroundings you can enjoy the indoor/outdoor flow and the beach close by. The beach is excellent. Richard and Christine our hosts are a lovely, welcoming couple. Loki their dog was also adorable. If you are looking for a space to unwind, relax, to breathe in the peacefulness we fully recommend the Pod. This gem is not for party-goers. It is a place of serenity. We look forward to staying again in the future. Thank you Richard and Christine for making our stay a joyful occasion. Pauliney & Trevor Lynn
