Roomy house
We had a great stay here with family. Enjoyed the views from the balcony, especially the sunsets! The pool was a bonus in the hot weather.

Perfectly presented
Wow, wow, wow. It’s hard to find the right superlatives to describe the property. We found we couldn’t stop saying “Wow” as we moved from room to room; the styling is very impressive. We absolutely loved this property which is set high on the hill in Kilcunda.
The property is well presented, classy, spacious, and has all the comforts you'd possibly want. And this is just a small description of this wonderful place.
The big picture windows and the balcony offer spectacular views of the coast & the ocean.
The Kilcunda Pub and the General Store are only 10mins by foot.
We will definitely stay here again.
A truly memorable and special place to spend time.
Thank you so very much.
