peaceful

the location is quiet, safe and physically beautiful. The house has everything needed including wifi. it is extremely spacious. upstairs open plan bedroom would not suit all but was perfectly adequate for just the two of us. Privacy may be an issue for more than one couple. we absolutely loved our morning breakfasts with the wildlife.

Holiday house surrounded by bushland

Loved the serenity, broken only by the morning chorus of birdsong. Walking access to beaches, buses, shops and bush walking trails. Good household bathroom, laundry, cooking and dining facilities. Comfy beds and plenty of fresh air. A relaxing carefree holiday home. Thank you Eleanor

Magic Haven

Lovely oasis, situated among the trees with lots of bird life around and some very cute rock wallabies. We witnessed kookaburras, honey eaters, butcher birds to name a few all coming to have a look at us on the verandah. Just magic. House is comfortable with lots of space for relaxing, only 7 minute stroll to Alma Bay. A wonderful, peaceful spot to unwind.

far away and close to everything.

lovely property set amongst the environment. Very private and quiet... off main roads but only a short walk to ammenities and transport. Felt like we were the only ones on the island when we were at the house. everything was well set up and there are plenty of thoughful additional activities for the kids to chill out with once we got back from the beach. They loved exploring the area around the house and the regular wildlife visits from the birds. Great location, great house, great hosts. Will book again

A beautiful house set in a fantastic environment surrounded by trees, kookaburras and other animals.

Great experience. The house had everything you needed including warmth and character. My highlight, other than feeding the friendly kookaburras was spotting an awake koala which was only about 300m from the house up the rocky dry creek bed.

Great for children. Disproportionate safety deposit made us uncertain and hypersensitive about damage an accidents. Probably need to be very clear about what it’s for... wouldn’t stay again based on this

Daniel & his family were fortunate to experience the seasonal creek & waterfall running during their stay. It was an extra bonus to the usual local wildlife which is always popular with children & overseas guests.
