A wonderful few days away in Elsie. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped and the welcome baskets were outstanding. Couple minutes walk to beach and Steam railway station. Had lunch at Driftwood cafe couple min and also Smugglers Inn about 20min walk all on flat. A great breaking will be rebooting soon.
