Lovely cottage and very relaxing

Really enjoyed this lovely spot. Very nice to sit out on the porch and take it in the view with dinner and a drink. Also drive down to the beach and had a nice walk.

Loved it!

My partner and I stayed here as a little getaway for our 2 year anniversary, and we loved it! The space was clean and tidy, the bed was very comfy, and overall it was a great place to recharge and relax. The two dogs were a very friendly welcoming committee.

Relaxing

Our stay here was twofold. One: quality time together and Two: a tryout for the young dogs in a boarding kennel not far away. The last night the dogs stayed with us. The bach was awesome. Very well laid out and complete. If anything, we couldn’t find any ice cube trays so our G&T was a bit make do. For the rest just great. Hear the moreporks at night, swim in the river at Pots Reserve. Best kept secret: Kuku Beach. Don’t go there folks to keep it a secret 😁
