“The Captain's Lookout is a great place for an inter-generational family group to stay in Onemana.”
It is really close to the beach and shops. We were there for a family wedding, and it was ideal. The only drawback was the difficulty getting up to the main house carrying a baby during wet weather.

“A lovely property.”
We enjoyed our stay. The hammock, outdoor cushions, provision of detergents etc was much appreciated. There was no dish cloth or brush so we got the ones from the downstairs bungalow. The dishwasher was still full when we arrived so we had to unpack it. It was unclear where the green bin was for the compost material. It was referred to in the instruction sheet. It would be good to have proper safe access to the bungalow as taking suitcases there and getting there in the dark from upstairs was not easy. Otherwise a lovely stay.

“Hello. We love your place and plan to come back.”
It was helpful that you opened the bottom cabin this time as not all our adults are couples and to avoid kids fighting it was great to use the whole space this time.

“We had a wonderful ten days.”
The view is spectacular and the outdoor living areas are excellent. Other than a faulty dishwasher, everything else worked well, included a very good coffee maker and an outdoor shower (that we made good use of). We didn't end up using the key to the nearby Onemana spa/pool but we liked having the option. It was a very clean and confortable stay and such a perfect spot for a holiday. We loved every minute of it. Thank you!!
