The apartment facilities: Shearwater is a brand NEW luxury development on an unprecedented site right on the waterfront located between Kinsale Yacht Club and Acton's Hotel. Shearwater is the place to be, top of the range of accommodation available, overlooking the marina and myriad of yachts and yachtie lifestyle. There is an airiness, lightness and brightness feel. It is impossible to capture on camera the height of the main room ceiling with its airy velux windows but It is delightful. On the ground floor of Shearwater is a brand new Cafe Wine Bar so if you don't want even to cook breakfast on your holiday you can pop down to Vista for your croissants and cappuccino, otherwise take them up and relax with your newspaper in the little Breton Boys casual dining section of the kitchen. There is also a formal dining area with a beautiful solid walnut dining table seating 6/8 people for that more formal dinner. There is also FREE BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS for your laptop.
