Tranquil bush stay
My husband and I , along with our small cavoodle Tashi, enjoyed a relaxing getaway in April. The bush setting was a lovely contrast to our usual beach focussed experiences. We loved the access to fabulous bush walks snd our hosts were happy to share their extensive knowledge of tge area. The accomodation was well situated, very clean and comfortable. Thankyou for a great stay!

Beautiful stay
A fantastic place to put up those feet and relax. Sussan the host was lovely and knowledgeable about the area and walks to check out. We were lucky to have a beautiful koala staying in the tree just outside olthe verandah to share our morning coffee with the view of the ocean. 5min walk into the main section of town 15min walk back uphill. Would highly recommend to stay and look forward to coming back. Thanks again for a lovely romantic weekend away.

The rest we needed
My husband and I spent 5 nights at this beautiful place, enjoying the peace and quiet after a very stressful year to date. We were greeted by our lovely hostess and some local birdlife also made us feel very welcome. All the facilities we needed were there, including the outside BBQ to cook some easy meals, comfortable sleeping arrangements and a relaxing downstairs lounge. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Unique in every way
From the moment we were shown the property we loved it. Personal privacy was high on our list and this place delivers. From the ensuite and kitchen in each room, the personal keys that open the front door and only our individual rooms given to each of us, to the cleanliness and comfort of the entire place,,, we loved this place and will return!
