Great location, very comfortable, with all household facilities. Would be mindful for any future stay to be wary of access road for low vehicles and rear of property with regard to pet access and open excavation area.

The little beach shack
The property was clean...the photos weren't the same of the inside furniture...when we arrived it had a cream two seater lounge...not the same wooden lounges in the current online marketing photo... unfortunately there wasn't a breakfast bar and no table and chairs...so we had to eat on the lounge... quite uncomfortable.. really...the other negative was the long dirt driveway to the little beach shack...we have a small Suzuki..so was not good for our car....

Great Spot!
Such a lovely location, next to the seashore, with a gorgeous, panoramic view across the bay and great shoreline tracks. Secluded and fenced, with access down from Tinderbox Road via a private, gravel road. Warm welcome from Champa, the friendly pooch living at the nearby main home on the property. xx Cottage was clean and airy, with all basics on hand. Resident tame peacocks enjoyed landing on the roof several times, and found OUR pooch fascinating! Lol
