Peaceful retreat
Amazing location! This little haven is tucked away into a little corner of paradise, so peaceful you wouldn't know there was anyone else around, just the soothing ocean meeting the shore along with birdsong and maybe a wallaby and baby foraging in the national park that the property directly backs onto,we will be making this place our annual retreat.

Lovely experience staying at the Bungalow. It's secluded with all the facilities you need but is also accessible to everything. The waves crashing in the background make spending time anywhere in the property very special. The team were very responsive to our wifi issues - once sorted, it was fast and reliable. Well be back again!

The main issue was that around early evening, a putrid, poo and sewer smell settled in. Whilst it was likely coming from the surroundings (as opposed to the property itself), it ruined our stay. The smell was so strong that we could not sleep. Both the gardener, cleaner and property caretaker acknowledged the issue, but had different views on the cause (from the nearly wetland to the house next door and council sewers).

Perfect beach haven
This property is as stunning as the photos promise. Especially the quite large bathroom exceeded our expectations and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked too, and even little details like sunscreen and mozzie spray was thought after. There were beach chairs, boards and bicycles free to use for convenience. The owners were very friendly and quickly responded to inquiries. The garden was lush and big and the property felt safe to let our dog off leash. Would absolutely go again and recommend to anyone, who likes to wake up to the sound of the ocean.

Beautiful bungalow in private and calming setting
Our stay at the bungalow was fabulous. It was beautifully designed with everything we needed. In a peaceful setting amongst the trees of the national park it was just the spot to wind down from a hectic lead up to Christmas.
Dealing with Amanda and Kaz was seamless and they were extremely helpful. They even left a beautiful Christmas tree , a bottle of bubbles and cheese platter for us...lovely and thoughtful touch.
Beautifully appointed with local artisan crockery and a stunning bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. 5 stars to you both.
