A marvellous retreat

Our stay at the Clifftop Cottage was magical, beyond anything we could have hoped for. A true retreat for rest and reset. We had a wonderful time and will be back.

Great cabin right by the water

Awesome location, especially being right next to the water. The cute little cabin easily slept our family of 4 and had everything we needed. Our host Sheryl was fantastic. Weather was a bit rough just after the cyclone but we still enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed a bit longer!

A little slice of heaven in the far north

What an incredible place, well worth the drive and investment Would be great if beach stairs were fixed for easy access to the beach. But we had a good time and the views far outweighed expectations The driveway is very steep and gravel is not goo with small cars but with a push up we made it up.All in all great place to stay! Thank you
