Reviews for this accommodation:
The location is quiet, remote and dramatic. Very cool. The decor and historic touches were really lovely. The weather had been stormy all day, so it was a treat to have the log fire and hot tub in the evening. We had forgotten that breakfast was supplied, so we brought our own – but wished we hadn’t, because the supplied breakfast was excellent
Nature put on a spectacular show for us—whales spotted daily, a pod of dolphins, seals at Cape Bridgewater, and kangaroos and wallabies nearby. On our way out, we were even lucky enough to spot a koala!
