Great location; great wildlife!

If your staying in Boomer Bay/Marion Bay area, I highly recommend staying at this property. Easy process, greeting in, host really supportive and customer focused. Up in the tree line, great watching wildlife during the visit. Across the road from the beach, with great wineries and food options nearby.

We really loved our stay. This magic house is tucked out of the way in the forest. It was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. Too bad we only stayed one night - hope to come back!

A great place to stay if you like isolation. There were dirt roads to navigate and no shops nearby but the accommodation was warm, clean and cosy. The scenery of the bay is amazing.

Amazing views and special comforts near Dunalley

We enjoyed our stay in the tree house. It is central to everything, peaceful and restful. We liked the view of the ocean from our bedroom window. I loved the soaker tub. What a treat! Kathryn was very helpful. We will recommend it to our Canadian friends.
