Easter break with family
The property was beautiful. The estuary was literally our front yard and even though the weather was grey and overcast most of the time, it was still a lovely view to wake up to. Emma was great to deal with. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet, but she was always easy to contact if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying here. It's stunning

Quiet and Private
Really enjoyed our stay, Emma and Danyon were very welcoming and the bach was private and quiet with well thought through amenities. Beautiful view of the estuary, and a 2 min walk to the beach make it an ideal location.

Tranquil spaces
This 2 day get away was a friends away. So needed to get away from the hustle and bustle and demands of every day life.
It was a place of zen, with the accomodation looking out to the estuary, absolute bliss, with the water, the birds and just re:connecting to nature.
The beach access a hop skip and a jump away, another place of zen. We were lucky to see Orcas, a mama and pepi not long after arriving on the beach on the first day.
The accomodation and the hosts were great, it was practical and quiet and private and had all that we needed. Not having a full kitchen didn’t bother us, as we pre planned for this and it worked out perfect, less work in the kitchen meant more zen time.
Felt safe and comfortable and would definitely be back again.
Thanks again
Beautiful stay
