Cabin was cozy but beds were very uncomfortable if you are a larger person which i am, no oven, it would have been nice if we were aware of this beforehand especiallysince it is totally off grid. Host is lovely. The view and the area is absolutely stunning and great fishing.

Great cabin right by the water

Awesome location, especially being right next to the water. The cute little cabin easily slept our family of 4 and had everything we needed. Our host Sheryl was fantastic. Weather was a bit rough just after the cyclone but we still enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed a bit longer!

Beautiful Private Bay

We could not have asked for a more stunning setting for our first vacation post lockdown. The beautiful private bay offered all our favourite activities kayak fishing, rock collecting and even though it was the middle of Winter a dip in the water for our 9 year old. The cabin was well equipped and cosy. Sheryl was a fantastic host who ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. Look forward to visiting again!

Outstanding Hideaway

What a fantastic stay with an exceptional location, excellent facilities and an amazing host. This place has it all; privacy, beach, safe swimming, boating, diving, day trips up the cape and to the surf and enough fishing to secure a respectful take for dinner. An amazing host that respects privacy and was spot on with help, advice and a friendly conversation (not to mention the baking!!). Thanks for a great stay!!!!

Beautiful Spot in the Far North

Amazing spot to escape to - a private beach that you only share with the owners! The cottage had everything you need for comforts of home but felt like being off the grid. Highly recommend staying here.

A truly iconic and thoroughly enjoyable experience to be able to share this piece of paradise. The site was priceless and the peace and tranquility wonderful. Sheryl was a good host, giving us total privacy but connecting to check on our needs and to have a chat. It was also nice to be “offline” for a while, and off grid, and enjoy the environment.

A place to relax

We had such a great time in this little piece of paradise. It doesn’t get much better than a private beach and a boat ramp at your doorstep. Great outdoor furniture set up and kitchen views. Awesome host, who made us feel so welcome and even more grateful to be there. Cabin was small but well equipped. We will certainly be keen to return.

Beachfront Paradise

This propery is secluded, peaceful and a great place to rest and unwind. We had the whole beach to ourselves which was fantastic. The fishing and diving is great too. Sheryl was a great host, friendly and made sure we were well catered for.
