Beautiful bush surroundings and lovely older style cottage. Cottage was well equiped and very comfortable. Owners were onsite and ready to help with any small issue.
Beautiful surrounds. Plenty of native bird's including kookaburras black cockatoos. Our kelpie loved the large garden to play and investigate. We are aiming to visit again next year.
The accommodation is a no frills beach shack. It has everything you need, just be sure to pack all of the things you might want. The beds were pretty basic, so for my bad back and shoulders they didn't make for a restful sleep. That said the 2 nights we stayed were lovely. The setting is spectacular with beautiful views into the woodland at the bottom of the property. Wildlife was everywhere, which also added to the charm. With a few improvements, like some new mattresses and linen, this could be a 5 star accommodation.

I do appreciate your comments Eamon. We'll have a close look at the mattress and linen. All our linen is delivered from a local laundry, so I'm surprised it wasn't up to scratch
Best wishes, Terry
It is a great property - the accomm we stayed in was more spacious, outdoor area easy for dinner / hanging out and good kitchen setup so I would recommend over the cabin our friends stayed in up the hill. But saying that they loved their vista. The family are great that own it. And its nice to be surrounded by space and some farm animals. Easy access to Torquay. I had a surf and we walked to a winery. So wins all round!

Very comfortable cosey cottage with the immediate area around the cottage well fenced, which enabled our dog to roam in and out. Also great walks around the property. A good base close to Torquay from which to explore the region. Great time away.
