Magical

I can’t fault this property, it is stunning, so quiet and the skies are amazing. The views for sunrise and sunset are amazing. You won’t forget bath time with a glass of wine and the view. . Highly recommend this property if you want to get away from it all.

Amazing Views

My partner and I had an amazing stay. Everything from the outdoor bath, the views, to the bbq and dart board we loved. Everything was clean on arrival, we weren’t aware that the kitchen and bathroom were separate from the bedroom but it didn’t bother us at all. Though it is close to other homes, it’s situated in a way that it feels very private. Next time we will definitely be staying longer!

Tranquil setting, lovely views

This place was perfect for our stay - just a short drive to local restaurants, beaches and the golf course. It’s very very private even though close to the owners’ house. It’s compact but stylish with everything we needed. Comfortable bed, good hot water supply and the kitchen has everything for cooking but an oven. The little vege and herb garden was a nice touch and the outdoor bath tub was heavenly. We really enjoyed the views of Bream Bay and the countryside. Watching the local cattle moving about and befriending the sheep on the property was surprisingly entertaining. And the night sky full of stars was awesome!
