Such a magical weekend! I've always loved the sight of this home, took the leap to book for a random weekend and so glad we did. Absolute gem. Such welcoming hosts, totally inobstrusive but you can tell all the love and care they have put into the home. Highly recommend!

An exception spot and a beautiful and quant residence. Old and charming yet with modern features like a heat pump. Peaceful and surrounded by bush with the beach just over the road. A beautiful deck to sit on and watch the day go by and maybe a gin or 7. Definitely would stay again. Could live there forever. Great host too.
