    Very well-presented and surprisingly spacious cute cottage, great place to forget the rest of the world and read books. Utterly relaxing and the views on the walks, right across the harbour, are impressive.

    Really enjoyed our break there, cosy and warm with the fire going (bit smoky to start with but worth it once it's roaring), and the walk along the South Head beach is superb. Not another soul for kilometers.
