Stylish, Comfortable Clock Tower View Apartment

Simply brilliant describes this high quality apartment. The large double glazed windows provides a sunny, light filled, quiet and very warm living space. There are views of the lane and the nearby city. To complement the modern contemporary furnishings of the inviting living area are quality kitchen appliances. The upstairs bedrooms also have views from their large windows. You may not want to leave the enveloping comfortable beds but if you do the master bedroom has doors opening onto a balcony for morning breakfast or coffee or quiet contemplation. The recently updated shower and toilet are upstairs. This apartment is sunny, warm and is a thoroughly enjoyable and luxurious space. The entire apartment is yours to enjoy! There is a security gate at the entrance to Clocktower Lane which closes at 7.00pm. Guests are provided with a code to the gate for full access. There is also large garage for parking with enough room for storage of ski or snowboarding equipment or bikes if necessary . This is a rarity in the central city.

We are always contactable for questions or queries and are happy to offer suggestions for restaurants, entertainment or recreation. Please have a look over our guidebook.

Aunt Jessie's Cottage

JenniRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We were due to arrive after dark on a wet night, so Rose messaged to say she had the fire ready to light, she had turned some lights on for us, and had left the key under the mat so we didn’t have to spend time in the rain fiddling with the lockbox. It was so appreciated! Really cute and cosy home with everything we could possibly have needed. We loved it. One thing to note though is there is some road noise during the night.

Magical Seaside Cottage

JadeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I loved my stay here! The bach is cosy and warm with a nice homely feel to it. Someone else in their review mentioned the muesli and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed that as well! The highlight for me was how peaceful and quiet it was out there, and with the beach so close and lots of walking tracks to explore it was the perfect staycation I needed to get out of the city for a few days. I would highly recommend staying here and I hope to be back soon myself!

Serene Seaside Escape

PoppyRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Beautiful Bach overlooking the sea. We lay on the deck and watched the stars at night. There is hot water! The house is well stocked with bed linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, kettle, toaster, cafetière, dishwasher, washing up liquid, washing machine and laundry tablets. Powerful shower. House very clean and in good condition. There is a double bed in one room and a full size bunk bed with a double at the bottom and a single at the top in the other room, with a spare mattress on the floor. The bunk is more suitable for children then adults as it’s a bit wobbly so you can feel the person in the other bunk move and the mattresses are pretty thin. Could do with a ladder. Caillin was a helpful and communicative host who kindly accommodated our late check-in and check-out requests. Many thanks. *would have preferred to book through an alternative platform as AirBnB hosts properties in i11egal 1$r@e1i $ett1ements*
