Lovely location and quirky house
The house had beautiful views across tryphena bay. The driveway was very challenging and our van couldn’t get up which was fine but it was difficult bringing the luggage up. Once there is was a quiet house and we had a great time. Would have been good to know the oven and dishwasher required the generator to be switched on but once we knew it was all good.

Great house, amazing views.
Loved it. Great location, though a 4WD is essential to get up the driveway to it we discovered. Owner very helpful. Its a character house that comes with a dishwasher! Perfect holiday spot.
