Amazing stay, the host gave a very kind upgrade and I felt like it was a night staying with friends. It was pizza night and so fun with live music and socializing.

Stunning beach,great walking,quiet and clean

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Beautiful scenery, tranquil and peaceful. Go prepared with dinner however, as we never made it out the door in time for takeaways - they close very early! Not so great for those with a small baby, who can't leave their accommodation.

I drove to join a 6:30 tour of Farewell Spit from here. A couple of coffee places to enjoy, a lovely beach, nice camping ground by the beach with what seemed well maintained family accommodation - fantastic sun rises across the bay. Just beautiful
