Loved the craftsmanship of this house. We were glad to have the upstairs area for our grown children to retreat to. A great location to venture out from. Loved our pademelon pals too!
Was a nice and quiet place to stay, surrounded by bush. Close to the beach and different nature walks (although we didn't explore fully by foot, I'm sure there would be a short cut down to the water). About a 3 minute drive from supermarket, petrol station and shops at Snug. Beds were comfortable and warm (winter stay) and heaters were provided in each bedroom to make the inside cosy as well. Split system was good for the main living area.
