Swim at the beach and launch your boat from the boat ramp during the day, then tie up at the mooring. Spectacular sunsets from the front deck, which looks west across the harbour. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee at sunrise or wine and a BBQ in the evening. It is also a great spot to sit back and listen to the native birds' song and watch the fish jump. We regularly see pods of dolphins and even orca swim past! Please note 3rd and 4th person would sleep on a sofa bed. Suitable for a couple, couple of friends, or couple and child, it has a queen bed and sofa bed in a living/dining and kitchen area, and a bathroom with toilet, basin and shower. There is plenty of parking available for cars and boats, and thirty seconds' walk to either of two boat ramps . Moorings also available, as well as a range of holiday houses, cabins and campsites nearby for family and friends.
