Our guests should feel right at home from the moment they arrive they are encouraged to relax and soak up the village vibe of Kidd's Beach - coastal, tranquil and chilled. The feel is eclectic and does not present a hotel ambiance, we want to keep to the solid principles of what a bed and breakfast should be and that is a home away from home. Once we have checked guests into the property we believe in giving them privacy and space to enjoy themselves. Most evenings you are able to hear the sound of the ocean from the bedrooms. We love animals and there are pets on the property. Please note that a 50% deposit is required upfront within 4 hours of booking.
