Great place, awesome town, Tanya was fantastic! We followed her recommendations for sight seeing and eating - and the whole family had a blast. Wish we would have stayed longer and we plan on coming back when we return to Australia in the future.

Great find! Enjoyed our stay with Karen & John in the charming home. We had a private bedroom & bathroom and also had use of the living room area. In the morning, Karen & John provided a lovely country breakfast - cereals, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, yogurts, coffee, teas, and juice. Nice way to relax after a long drive! Highly recommend!

An absolute gem. One of those rare places that is designed and maintained with genuine care and highest standards. Expansive views of the unspoiled countryside with the ocean sparkling in the distance. The roomy soaking tub and wood-burning stove were soul-filling after being out for walks in the cool June weather. Mark and his dogs led us to see a koala nestled in one of their majestic trees. Gorgeous grounds and friendliest hosts we've encountered on our travels. We will be back.

We were a little skeptical about staying in a Safari Tent but it was an amazing experience. The ace was exceptionally clean. The electric blanket kept us nice and toasty and we woke to the sound of birds chirping. Overall it was a great experience and my wife said it was the best stay yet.

We stayed in the new section, which was excellent. Lovely room; very clean with a large bathroom with rainfall shower. Excellent amenities including a fabulous restaurant, fitness room, heated lap pool, sauna (allow plenty of time to heat up) and laundry. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Early checkin was available at no extra charge. Location was close to town with coastal walking trail across the street.

Worth it for the view alone, but everything else was just as incredible. Very friendly and accommodating- wish we could have had more time to stay here! Room had all we needed, plus best sleep we had our entire time in Australia. Talked about finding a way to come back to stay here before we even checked out. Highly recommend!
