Charming simple cottage in the country, well supplied with charming crockery and quality bedding. It is a short drive from Seal Rocks and on acreage with kangaroos and plenty of space.

Super gemütlich und romantisch. Mitten im Nirgendwo mit einem atemberaubenden Nachthimmel und absoluter Ruhe. Abends kann man den Kängurus beim Grasen zuschauen und morgens wird man vom Sonnenaufgang und den Vögeln geweckt. Die Küche ist sehr umfangreich ausgestattet und es gibt eine kleine Hütte mit allerlei Spielen und Haushaltsbedarf, wo man sich einfach bedienen kann. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung, wer dem Trubel entfliehen will, wird hier das Paradies finden. Einziger Nachteil ist das man das Schlafzimmer nicht richtig verdunkeln kann, aber dafür gibt's ja Schlafmasken. Der Chaos Takeaway 5 Autominuten entfernt macht unfassbar gute und riesige Burger.
