About this cottage rental

An idyllic location that is off the beaten track and located in a peaceful valley, full of birdsong and with a gentle stream flowing to a secluded all-weather bay and safe, child-friendly beach. The self-contained cottage is located by the stream and 20m from the main house where the owners live. With access by boat only (no road access) the bay is very private with safe swimming and is sometimes frequented by dolphins. There are two registered moorings for parking your boat and a jetty with pontoon for easy boat access. Walk 300 metres from the jetty to the house across the beach at low tide or along the track around the edge of the bay at high tide. Three sit-on-top kayaks are available by arrangement.

Stunning property in a great location, handy to Fitzroy without being in the harbour itself. Crystal clear water, park like surrounds and a comfy cottage. Paul was very helpful when we needed but also let us do our own thing. The mooring and jetty were very handy and it felt very secure. Great base for some Barrier exploration.
