Nestled up on the hill with sea views this very comfortable off grid cottage will give you all the rest and restoration your mind, body and soul needs. It's humble, has all the comforts despite being 'off-grid' and is designed to be the perfect getaway.... a place to take a deep breath, gather your thoughts, restore and be inspired. Perfect for singles needing time out and couples who want to enjoy quality time together. This little treasure is a 10 minute walk to the stunning white sandy beach. It has a huge master bedroom, a lounge which can have a queen bed made up and an expansive porch which can also be enclosed. ‘Off the grid’ (no electricity), but comes with all the modern day comforts...hot showers, flush toilets, WiFi, solar/battery lights, charging station for devices, ice bin as a fridge & gas cooking. Imagine; ocean views, starry nights, walking the beach, swimming at your leisure, silence while reading and the smell of bush, sea and fresh air. We are dedicated hosts, have been ‘Superhosts’ for 8 consecutive years and always honour guest reservations. We endeavour to keep our rates affordable and are humbled with great reviews. Lachelles (Lance and Michelle’s) bach is a pleasure to share and we trust is a place you’ll remember for years to come. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation -
