Changes in paradise
Third time at this property the owners have been steadily improving the facilities, however the guests don’t seam to look after things as they should. Location is paradise if you want away from the world to relax and a dream spot for beach and boat fishing. Proud to leave the property better than we found it. Will be back again

What a place to relax!
Minimum seven nights stay actually was a bonus as it forced us to have to stay longer than our usual 3 nights. I can honestly say it’s the first time I have truly relaxed and unwinded in a long time. Seclusion and peacefulness. Beautiful beach. We also were able to bring our two dogs who also loved their holiday. This place is value plus for money. We will definitely be back.

Awesome Location
The location is truly awesome although the cabin is not beach front which we did not realise from the marketing. We also thought we were in the Sinclair Bay Resort by the way it was worded, which is beach front in the next bay around. All that aside, it was a great week on a beautiful beach, with amazing fishing, crabbing, beach walks, sunsets, etc. Boat launching is via beach/rocks is tidal & definitely not for amateurs which we witnessed with our neighbours bogging their 4WD to the axles & needing to be towed out. We didn't have any problems after deflating tyres & low 4WD. Cabin could have done with a deep clean, especially before Xmas, but we left it cleaner than how we got it, so hopefully the next people enjoyed that. Also some of the plumbing needs upgrading/fixing with grey water overflowing causing a bit of a smell while sitting in outdoor area around BBQ. All up, for the money, really good fishing holiday & awesome location.

Very comfy
Although this house is set back from the beach we found it to be a wonderful holiday. Almost new kitchen and bathroom and comfy beds. Short walk to the beach but good exercise. Caught 29 different species of fish so really is a fisherman’s retreat. Loved it and will be back next year

Lovely beaches, location to island and river system for fishing and beach activities was fantastic.
The house was spacious and clean. The location was behind a beachfront property which was disappointing. The rain water was not clean and the bore water was smelly and caused some staining on skin and towels. The drive in through private property meant that the location was isolated and quiet.
