About this property
A birdwatchers' paradise
Cornerstone is a comfortable house for a holiday with family or friends. It has two queen bedrooms, one with ensuite, and third bedroom with two single beds. As well as the ensuite bathroom there is also a central bathroom with shower and toilet.
Cornerstone is off the beaten track. After a few k's on dirt roads you enter the property gate and then have a long driveway through ti tree. The house is deep in the coastal bush and there are no other houses within sight or sound. Some visitors have found this isolation unnerving so please bear that in mind when making a booking. But for people who like a bush setting and peace and quiet it is ideal - as well as being a short drive from a good flat white!
In the warmer months you may see snakes. Just keep your distance and they will slither away! Mosquitoes and sandflies can also be pesky at some times of year.
If you hear the patter of feet on the roof in the night please do not be alarmed they are probably only possums and other native creatures. there is a full solar system with battery backup for peace of mind when there is a danger of powercuts on the grid

About the host
Hosted by Louisa
Michael and Louisa are passionate about protecting land for nature. By visiting Cornerstone you are helping us maintain the 100+ acre Winkarlin bush island as a sanctuary. With its connection via the coastal reserve to Wilson's Prom the bush around Cornerstone is a very important natural resource.
Why they chose this property
Over 100 different species have been identified in and around Cornerstone. For example, there are flocks of Blue-winged parrots breeding there. We are always hoping to spot one with an orange belly! Most days you will see wallabies on the driveway and we regularly see wombats, blue-tongues and echidnas. Corner Inlet is a marine park and the bird life is stunning!
Cornerstone's main feature is its privacy. After leaving the beaten track and taking some unmade roads you will travel up a 500m drive way through dense ti-tree. There you will be surprised to find a pretty garden and comfortable house.
Click on the Satellite option on the map of Cornerstone and you will see the Winkarlin bush island and how it connects to the Coastal Reserve. Vistors are welcome to explore over 50 acres of bush around the Cornerstone house and we can suggest interesting directions to try. Our goal is to preserve this whole bush area in perpetuity and by staying at Cornerstone you are helping us make this vision financially viable!

What makes this property unique
Even the locals are surprised to find the loveliness and emptiness of Winkarlin Beach. It is only metres from Cornerstone's driveway to the entrance to the beach which is good for swimming at high tide and wonderful for exploring at all times.
For fishing enthusiasts you can try you luck off the 'flat rock' on Winkarlin Beach at low tide or walk along the beach to the seawall for high tide fishing.
