We had a fun time with our stay, it was cozy and comfortable. The kids had a fun time watching wallabies and kangaroos and it is very close to a massive white sand beach. It was great seeing wild life around and the fire place was great. The bathroom was suprisingly spacious and comfortable to use and the whole place is complete of cookeries we needed for our stay. I definitely recommend this to couples for a get-away stay.
Gorgeous little house!Really enjoyable stay with a lovely bush outlook. Great location on the island, not too far from the ferry. Owners were responsive and helpful with our questions. :)

Secluded, amazing location, smart and clean property. Amazing stay for a couple but too small and uncomfortable for a family. Hat off to the owners for providing such smart innovative accommodation but should only accept couple sonly accept couplesa
Communication was excellent with clear instructions of how to access the property. The accomodation is tiny as indicated in the picture, but great for one or two people. Ambience-perfect, with the cabin surrounded by nature and visiting kangaroos. Bunk bed however is a little hard to access via the ladder.
