Lovely place to stay
Very short walk to passenger ferry & just a short walk to shops, Resturant’s and cafés. Awesome house has everything you need, a fifteen minute walk to Mudbrick winery and Cable Bay winery. A short drive gets you to outstanding beaches. Only one negative is, it gets quite a bit of road noise, we weren’t expecting that.

Two day getaway
We had a lovely two day getaway. The house was very comfortable. I did think from the online photos we were over looking the beach so that was a bit of a surprise. Nevertheless the beach was still close just a short walk.

Great location and facilities
Enjoyed our stay here. Was perfect location and the Bach was very comfortable. Only issue was all the bugs which is due to being surrounded by nature so not a bad trade off. Bring mozzie repellant.
