We loved our time at Settler’s Cottage.The views were absolutely beautiful, over looking the beach and bay. We loved the ambiance and layout of the house, with its cosy fire, the artwork and photos on the walls, and the spacious kitchen that had everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave!

The cottage, the views, the passing parade of animal and bird life made our stay a very interesting and satisfying experience. The proximity to the Fig Tree Restaurant was an added bonus for us. The cottage has great character balanced with modern facilities. We would not hesitate in booking again!

This renovated house was lovely and in an ideal location with a view towards Snelling Beach and only a short walk to the beach. Quiet, remote spot which we loved, kangaroos around. Very clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay. For me the main thing that detracted from an otherwise nearly perfect house was the lack of doors on the ensuite bathrooms - the bedroom doors could be locked for privacy but not the ensuites themselves - one had swing doors, the others no doors at all. This means lights and noise can disturb others when in the same bedroom at night. Also I was not comfortable with the fully transparent windows (no blinds) of the two ensuite bathrooms without doors, even though they faced the back of the house where nobody was likely to be. If staying again I might bring something to block them!
