We enjoyed the location - having lovely views out into the bushland; great facilities for sitting/eating outside in a space protected from weather; and a private jacuzzi. Walks along St. Andrews beach are close by, but if you want to swim you will need to drive 15-20 min. to one of the bay beaches.Everything we needed was provided, as we didn’t intent to cook meals.
Beautiful accommodation. We relaxed as soon as we opened the door. Surrounded by nature. The beach a stone’s throw away…well a nice walk to the beach. The jacuzzi was heated and ready to go. So relaxing. We laughed and enjoyed every minute.
Much needed weekend escape, perfect location to use as a central base for the Hot Springs and day trips to Rosebud/Rye/Sorrento.
Spa very secluded and private and close to apartment; I was worried it would be a hike from the accommodation but it’s very close.
Access is up a steep hill, be mindful if you have mobility issues.
