Was okay. Bit weird, a lot of spare furniture around the place. Power tripped and ended up having to figure it out ourselves as we didn't get a response for ages.

This house was a step back in time to lazy, carefree days by the sea. Simple and refreshing. The property was spotlessly clean. The view out the back was beautiful

Such a lovely place to stay. Relaxing. Easy lovely walks right from your door. Fishing right outside. And so convenient as a base to explore. Plus we had the honour or meeting the garden resident swift parrots, amongst other beautiful birds of course!

Great family accommodation with direct water access
This is the second time we've stayed here. The house is older, but comfortable. It's a great place to stay with children, there is direct access to the river and a small beach. Magnificent view from the main bedroom and balcony. The main beach is only a short walk or ride. Having access to the canoes and a safe area to use them is a bonus for the children.

Old and rustic or old and tired
This place is ideally located right on the river inlet, with a cafe next door and across the road. The local Blue Waters Hotel is a two minute walk away and does great meals, nice family atmosphere. The accomodation is large plenty of room for a family, fully equipped or over equipped, but I can’t make my mind up whether it’s old and rustic or old, tired and cluttered.
