A beach bach in the country!

Absolutely loved the location, tranquility, comfort and friendly family vibe of this cute cottage. I stayed by myself but will be back with my family. Note - no wifi or TV so it's a true de-connecting experience and it's great for the soul.

Silence is golden

Peaceful, quiet, private, and funky. Outdoor bath is a gem. The beds are super comfy. The birdlife is outstanding. There's natives of course, but the peacocks - along with a brash crackle of cockatoos - are outstanding to watch.
