Great location
Well situated property with an amazing view. More than enough room for the whole family with the required amenities. A bbq would have been nice to fully utilise the outside deck area.

Ideal for a quiet break
A great experience close to nature. Amazing views over the harbour. Watching the cruise ships arrive and depart great to watch. Birdlife in abundance, night sky amazing. A very comfortable home to stay in with good coverage for internet and tv. Will definitely be coming back.
