Why they chose this property
This cottage offers a rare combination of direct waterfront access and a peaceful, private setting on Pillar Point. Guests enjoy calm bay waters that are perfect for kayaking and swimming, with 2 kayaks included for easy access to the water.

It’s ideal for couples, small families, or as an additional space when booking alongside the larger lodge next door. The cottage can also be paired with the larger lodge next door for additional space.
