Very good communication with the host prior to our stay. The house was lovely. The most amazing thing about it is the wildlife that is present. There are wallabies and wombats and we even saw one echidna. The location is superb and we walked to the beach on a daily basis. You feel like you’re the only people on the island. Would definitely stay again.

Slice of Paradise

The property was above expectations. The view of Mt Strzelecki was fantastic. 5 minute walk from Trousers Pt beach was convenient. Great place to swim, walk and look for shells. 15 or so minutes in the car from Whitemark. The wildlife was abundant. The house was very cosy. Top spot

Amazing everything!

The house is amazing. The location was very handy for everything down south (Strzelecki, Trousers point, Lady Barron). The views of the mountains from the bedroom as well as the kitchen/living room were stunning. The property is also a wildlife sanctuary which meant lots of cute wallabies and friendly wombats. The place was also very well equipped with everything you could think of. Thank you for your hospitality which allowed us to fully enjoy and appreciate beautiful Flinders Island.

What a wonderful Walden world!

As has been said before, the photos don't do Walden justice. The place is just so amazing! From the moment you drive in to the private and secluded property, you feel a sense of calm. The house itself is a wonder - from the fully stocked pantry to the spectacular views, particularly from the main bathroom! There are books aplenty, a great collection of music, regular visits from the local wombats and wallabies, and lots of different spaces for people to chill. But most of all there are those views of Mt Strzelecki and the close proximity of Trousers Point, which was a wonderful place for a swim or two. Can't recommend this place highly enough!
