Summary: I stayed for 3 nights with my 4 children ages 6-11, and our 1yo dog.The bach is relatively easy to get to, and the location - a skip and hop to the beach - is fantastic. The bach has everything you need, including boogie boards, kayaks and beach equipment, an outdoor shower, board games, kids' toys and DVDs for quieter times. The kitchen has all the staples.We enjoyed our stay, although I would have appreciated knowing the following:The beach is not really a swimming beach. You can swim if you are a strong swimmer, but it's a stony beach and the surf is strong. My 11yo and 8yo got quite a few injuries trying to boogie board, and eventually gave up, as did I. Nevertheless, it is very beautiful, and the large, colourful stones are delightful, if you aren't being dashed against them! (I have read all the other reviews, and wonder if we just went on a bad surf week?!)There is a lovely stream and estuary that is great for smaller children.Our dog had the time of his life, but we couldn't leave him outside unsupervised, as there were plenty of places he could escape through a fence or under the gate (and he did, because he is young and silly). There is also a local dog who free wanders, and kept coming onto the property.The bach was tidy when we got there, but some of the things on the cleaning list didn't look as though they been done for some time. Some of the windows also need fixing.Great for romantics, older families, obedient dogs, and very small kids.

Summary: Our family got to visit Time Out bach for the 2nd time, and this stay was even better than the first. The bach is so homey, comfortable, kid & dog friendly, and of course has the best sea views! Beach combing amongst the rock pools at low tide was our familys favourite pasttime, but we also took advantage of the swimming, playing in the estuary/stream, hiking the cliffs walk, and playing lots of outdoor games in the huge backyard. We wished we couldve stayed another week!
