A perfect place for a quiet getaway
A perfect place for a quiet getaway. The ocean out the front is a fishermans dream and provided plenty of bounty for us. A few day trips here and there, plenty of rest and relaxation at the bach. A pod of Dolphins treated us to a show how amazing. Would definitely recommend this bach for a no stress, chill out holiday.

Fantastic little hideaway
We thoroughly loved staying at this romantic little shack, with the crashing of the waves on the rocks nearby. A perfect place to get over the jetlag after the flight over from the Uk!
