Surrounded by casuarina woodlands, your days will be spent enjoying this idyllic location watching the ever-changing view of the billabong as it reflects the sky. The cottage features two well-appointed ensuite rooms with fans, a fully self-contained kitchen, air-conditioned open-plan sitting room with a cosy combustion wood fire. The extensive entertainment sun deck reaches out into the billabong and makes you feel like your cottage is floating.

Guests are welcome to throw in a line or go for a relaxing row in the billabong boat and float away.

Pretty good
Overall it was nice but we were disappointed with a few aspects of our stay. When we contacted the property manager they were very prompt in addressing what they could which we appreciated. We weren’t comfortable with the lack of privacy in front of the house (no blinds/curtains covering the windows in the living area and kitchen) and some of the items in the kitchen were really grotty. We were there for two nights and there were only 2 coffee pods for our entire stay and minimal teabags. This isn’t a massive deal but we found details like that lacking which was disappointing for the price we were paying. Overall it was comfortable and in a good location. The two bedrooms had their own bathrooms which I liked. I wouldn’t not recommend this place, I just feel like you can get much nicer for the same price or less.

Lovely and quiet
Clean, pretty, lovely spot, basic kitchen and not ideal for a family with 2 older kids as there are only 2 queen beds. A king bed that can be split into 2 singles would have made the trip perfect.
