We loved our time at Kangastay. The location was great for our day trips and the house had everything we needed and a well stocked pantry of basics. Vivonne bay was beautiful and having the general store at the end of the road was great. We didn't get to see the possum but it was so nice to have food there to put out for him. Thanks so much for having us.
