Comfortable and quiet stay in Shoal Bay

We had 3 nights here as as base for the Tomaree Cpastal Walk. Very comfortable, quiet and spacious. It's looking a bit old but it was clean and had a small kitchenette with sufficient equipment for our stay. A few minutes drive to Shoal Bay itself. Had some cheeky feathered visitors in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.
