This was a return visit and it was like coming home. Lovely view from the deck while having breakfast, lunch and dinner. Weather permitting. Although we have family living close by, it's nice to have somewhere else to stay for a break.

Awa View was perfect for our stay. It was warm, the bed was comfy and it had everything we needed. A short distance to the local shops.
