Comfortable home away from home & amazing touches for families with pets. Short walk to the beach, sitting on the verandah watching the cows was a great way to relax & unwind. For a family with bad backs - the bed was perfect. Thanks for having us, will book our next stay very soon

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so glad to hear that you and your family—including your pets—had such a relaxing stay. It’s great that you enjoyed unwinding on the verandah, taking short walks to the beach, and getting a comfortable night's sleep.
We would love to welcome you back again soon!
This is a very pet friendly place. Has a dog beanbag, food and water bowls, a box of dog toys, 5’ (1.4m) high secure fencing and a veranda containment gate.Obviously people were taking the pegs, so bring your own pegs.Grab yourself a bag of wood at the servo for the Coonara (some fire lighters onsite) if you like the ambiance of a fire.Beautiful sea and beach nick nacks added to the atmosphere (please don’t steal them).Quite and friendly neighbourhood.We’ll be back.
