A week away

If you’re looking to get “out” of Sydney without actually leaving, this is the perfect spot. Such a peaceful place to relax and read a book, or fuel your adventurous side and go for a kayak or a hike to the top of a lookout. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path, this is it. The owners Sarah and Michael are also some of the kindest people I’ve ever met and will make you feel at home and provide excellent tips for around the area.

Beautiful. Only problem was a diamond python on the path back to the ferry. We went around it and consequently missed the ferry.
