Loved our stay, Steve was so welcoming and helpful. Spacious cabin with everything you need. Comfy bed. Lovely view of the beach, and dogs staying free was amazing, thank you very much.

Amazing stay, the host gave a very kind upgrade and I felt like it was a night staying with friends. It was pizza night and so fun with live music and socializing.

If you are looking for a funky, organic, hide away near the beach but aware from conventional concrete accommodation, this is a fantastic spot. Steve makes you feel very welcome, with beautiful gardens. This is a bohemian dream. Appreciate its eccentricity and its family and dog friendly vibes

Wonderful host. Pizza occasion was great. The cabin was comfortable, with good kitchen facilities. We could have stayed another week.

We arrived and were personally greeted by Steve. I’ve been too many accommodations in my life and I have never had a host like Steve. He was absolutely superb. We originally planned to stay for two nights and because of the.Bonhomie of the place we stayed a total of six days and five nights. We would have stayed all the way to the end of our trip. This was an unexpected find and you have a really open mind. I highly recommended to book this place. Just remember, it’s not the faint heart.

We loved our cabin at The Sandcastle. It was spacious and had a rustic old holiday camp feel about it. If you are expecting pristine modern accommodation, this is not the place for you. The setting is beautiful and only a 5-10 minute walk from one end of Pahora beach. Kitchen had all we needed to cook some meals in, although no oven, it had 2 hot plates and a microwave, toaster and kettle. Bathroom had no shampoo or soap so bring your own. The beds were comfy and towels are provided. On the Saturday evening, Steve the engaging owner got the neat outdoor pizza oven going and you just provide your own toppings, he does the dough and passata. It was a great way to chat to him and other guests for a few hours with some drinks. We felt sad to leave after 2 nights.

Stayed here with my parents and 2 month old baby - it was glorious! So tranquil. A really special place. Easy walk to the beach and nearby eateries. Backing onto the mountains, so super quiet. Host was so nice and accommodating. Cooked us all lovely pizzas in the outdoor oven (be sure to give him a days warning, though!) Free yoga and massages. And lots of beautiful sights within easy driving distance. Complete bliss. And super good value for money. Please book here! You won’t regret it!!
