Peaceful and relaxing getaway

We loved our time at Still Windy which had everything we needed for a truly relaxing holiday away from it all. As the property sits within 100 hectares of beautiful bush land, it was the perfect place to walk around and we enjoyed our evening walks spotting the abundant wildlife.

Fabulous spot close to Snelling Beach and the Fig Tree where we enjoyed a long degustation lunch under an enormous fig tree (book well in advance if you want to eat there). Still Windy is well appointed for a comfortable couples stay and the complimentary wine was a nice additional touch. Friendly kangaroos around us in the morning and evening. I swear, one even waved at us! Great communication with Robyn checking our safe arrival. Will be letting our friends know of this hidden gem.

Feeling at home at still windy

We felt really at home here at ‘still windy’. Even though it was a rainy day we enjoyed the views, the peace and the luxury. We saw kangaroos, sheep, different birds and an echidna in the garden and even koalas at Middle River.

You go looking for something and open a drawer and it’s there, everything you needed was there, and was quality, clean and worked; from WiFi, BBQ to coffee machine. This made us feel pampered. The house had terrific views over a huge expanse of country to the sea. Being down a long driveway felt very quiet and private. Felt a tremendous sense of peace during our five night stay. Perfectly located halfway down the island, for an easy drive in every direction. Highly recommended.

The house was comfortable with plenty of natural light... the house is on a property a short drive off the road ... very quiet and peaceful . We were visited by lots of magpies ( around 30 in the paddock) On our last night we had a very special visitor ... a koala that walked past the cloth line and up into the gum tree for a snack

A perfect cozy spot

Still windy was absolutely perfect for us and our young pup. Set a top a hill with a view to the north we enjoyed all the weather types as they rolled in and not very windy at all!! It was so nice to come back to a house that was naturally heated from the north but have all the comforts at one’s fingertips to make it even more snug. Everything was good quality and provided for us to make the stay easy and most enjoyable. A beautiful property and lovely Snelling beach only five minutes away.

Just what I needed

"Still Windy" promised and delivered. Serene, luxurious, tranquil and situated in the perfect location to explore this mesmerizing island. Designed as a couple's retreat "Still Windy" is also ideal for solo travelers, I always felt safe during my stay. Thanks so much for having me! I'll be back (with my best Austrian Accent)

Relaxing and peaceful stay

We really enjoyed the quiet and isolation of StillWindy after hectic time at WOMAD. The house is very comfortable and well equipped with little touches like a handtowel in the kitchen, beach towels, great wok, comfy chairs and bed all adding up to a great stay. Snellings Beach five minutes down the road was lovely for swims. Need to be prepared to come equipped with food etc as is a fair drive to any shops. ...but we were and it was great. Highly recommend.

Back to nature!

A beautiful home with everything you need set in KI Bushland. So relaxing and peaceful. Lots of birds and kangaroos. Hop up early and watch the amazing sunrise from your front deck! Watch the many kangaroos hop past. The house neighbours the most lovely native forest which I visited a few times during my stay. The house has a heater that kept us warm on very cold nights. and the electric blankets worked a treat.

Lovely but …

Appreciated the location, size, outlook, design, amenities as all very nice. All 4 star …. The shower grouting could also use a thorough scrub!However, in communication with the owner/proprietor/host (not present) incredibly surprised to read that their priorities are with “self and staff”, and not the paying customer. Specifically, upon requesting a reasonable 30/60minute late checkout was advised that they “manage the property in the way that works best for us and our staff”. No mention of guests???This was terribly surprising given that we checked availability and found the property was not even booked for that night!

Total Heaven

We loved our three night stay. It was fabulous to have such a panoramic view over the hills to the sea. We could watch Eagles circling below us. Had a lovely time with a pair of Glossy Black Cockatoos that fed in the Sheoaks. Congratulations on your conservation work. We saw three Cockatoos flying at one stage. Loved the well appointed kitchen which was a real blessing as you have to prepare each meal because of distance. Thanks for the delicious bottle of sparkling red which we enjoyed on the decking while admiring the view. It was great to go to bed with no blinds drawn and wake at dawn. We loved the tranquility. A memorable experience. Tammar wallabies come in at night and it's lovely to see wildlife like echidna, kangaroos and even a very long Tiger Snake!

beautiful spot

We picked this property due to the fact it is dog friendly, and the location on the island, loving the North coast area. The house was in a great spot with beautiful views across paddocks to the ocean. Lots of bushland to walk through, with kangaroos, wallabies and possums all over the place! Pair of binoculars provided got a lot of use. Inside was nice and clean with a fantastic comfy king size bed with electric blankets, and the shower was great with plenty of pressure. Good kitchen area with a large pantry and the dishwasher was handy. Quality teas and coffee pod machine. The décor throughout was lovely. The only negative things I would say would be the lack of curtains on some windows (especially the bathroom, very odd!), and the ugly carport full of junk which is the first thing you see as you approach the house. But overall, a beautiful, quiet place to relax.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 March 2020
Dear guests, To maximise the daytime views, there are no curtains on any of the Still Windy windows. There are see through blinds on the two east-facing windows in the living area and blinds on all windows plus the sliding door in the bedroom. The bathroom windows are very small and we do intend to frost them. The carport was built specifically to support the solar panels as the existing shed roof was not big enough or the optimal angle for them. Under it we store neatly stacked building and future renovation materials as well as a farm ute and a tinny.

Great place to stay in a beautiful part of the world. Secluded but easy to get to. Well appointed, spacious and a lovely outlook. The large property the house sits on is great to wander around.
