We had a lovely bungalow a short walk to the beach with loads of wallabies outside. The hammock on the deck was great too. The only negatives are the room and bathroom are quite basic and could do with a refurb. They forgot to collect our bags on the check out day but did rectify this quickly.

They did a helpful helpful job taking the luggage from reception to the bungalow and booking me on an airport shuttle for my departong flight. It was also nice to see kangaroos nearby and they were great doing the cleaning.
