Inside, cosy armchairs, wooden floors, rugs, and a fireplace create a welcoming atmosphere — perfect for relaxing with a book or simply taking in the ocean views.
Step outside to the veranda or sit beneath the pepper tree with a glass of wine, enjoying uninterrupted views across to Wright Island and the Bluff.
The cottage features a well-equipped kitchen, a light-filled breakfast room overlooking the garden, two comfortable bedrooms, and a modern bathroom. Quality linen, bathrobes, and thoughtful touches are provided to ensure a restful and memorable stay.
