Perfect peace

We were greeted by a gorgeous little quoll on the rear verandah- a great start to our stay. The house has everything you'd need for preparing meals and dining, the bed is very comfortable, lounge furniture very comfy and stylish. The use of recycled timber is very effective and adds to the casual, cosy feel of the home. The view through the huge windows is nothing short of spectacular. We spent most of our time on the water -kayaking, fishing and swimming or just watching the water traffic out on the channel from the deck. We didn't really feel the need to explore the island, but went to the pub for lunch one day. The property, view and ocean was so relaxing. We've told all our friends and family how good this place is. Thanks Janet and Frank

Nice spot

This is a really quiet and nice spot. I loved how the sunrise floods the room in the morning. It was cosy, warm, and well cared for. Thanks also for pulling the blinds down before I got in at the end of each day. That was a nice extra touch which kept the room warm and welcoming!

Overall veiw

Had a wonderful relaxing time. Host was lovely to communicate with. The only downside was the bathroom. We feel there needs money to be spent in this area and the linen

Perfect for two.

Our host Ross was very welcoming and it was nice to have a friendly face pop over to say hello when we arrived. The cottage was a great size for us, clean & warm. The location was perfect, close enough to all the places we wanted to get to and far away enough for the peace and quiet. It was great we were allowed our little dog with us. Thank you.

Games for Dogs weekend getaway

Lovely property. Rained all weekend but the cottage was warm and dry. A great base to come back to. The lawn was great for the dogs to stretch their legs first and last thing. Had 50% success rate in the competition too!
