Hidden Gem | Whales & Dolphins | Epic Location - KK1342

Hidden Gem is all about adventure, chill vibes and making memories. This cute, historic cottage has been freshened up but still keeps that classic bach feel. It’s got amazing views over the coastal marine reserve, and if you’re lucky, you might see dolphins playing or even a whale or two. It sleeps up to seven, so it’s great for family getaways or hanging out with friends.

The views were amazing! Fantastic for seal and dolphin watching. Beautiful sunrises. Only negative for us was the access which is initially steep over the railway track. We had a bike rack on the back of a ute and had to remove it to get over the first bit. A mention in the listing about this would have been helpful. Otherwise absolutely loved our days there.
The entrance to driveway. Doesn’t really show how steep it is.
Front of bach, looking out over the sea.
Beautiful sunrise taken from balcony at the bach.
At one of the seal colonies after a short walk round the rocks.
