Rock Lobster

We loved everything about this place. A great location, comfy beds, great big windows to enjoy the views. Lovely kitchen. So spacious. Couldn’t fault it.

Beautiful accomodations

We loved our stay. A beautiful spot and well equipped house, truly lovely. We’ll definitely return.

Had pretty lousy weather unfortunately, which prevented fishing (though the teens tried!). Overall, the house is excellent, great views and near the waterfront, jetty etc. It has a heat pump so was cosy in cold weather. Aso a good-quality Saxon wood-heater, though we only lit it once. Beds were okay, though not the advertised three queens and one king, actually three doubles (a bit short for 6-footers) and a queen. The ads just say sheets are provided, whereas actually there is all bedding, with warm doonas. Rooms are spacious and four bedrooms really useful. The master bedroom is on the ground floor, everything else upstairs. Master has an ensuite (which I don't think is mentioned in the ads), very convenient, and means the house actually has TWO bathrooms/toilets, not just one as advertised. The ads need updating for accuracy — mostly, it is BETTER than represented. VERY well-appointed throughout — cutlery, crockery, toaster etc. all top drawer. Plenty of lounge room furniture and a classy extension table and comfortable dining chairs. Stove is good, but thermostats on the two right-hand elements were not working so one had to be very careful not to burn things, turning on and off manually. No reflection on the owners. it is a "hidden" problem, but we have had this issue on our own stove, so recognized it quickly and took precautions. It is important to bring provisions, the solitary store at the pub is NOT great and has limited hours. Excellent friendly communications.

Really great location and amenities, the deck and the hot tub make Rock Lobster a great place to stay when the weather is nice. The communication with the property manager was also excellent. The cleanliness of the property was below expectations, cleaning supplies provided were inadequate so we had to drive up to Dover to buy a scrubbing brush to do the dishes after breakfast on the first day. Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay.
