Jayne Curtis
Beautiful spot with easy access to outer sounds for fishing. Plenty of parking, it was possible to park 2 vehicles & 2 boats up the drive near the house although a little tricky getting the larger boat around the corner and turned at the top of the drive so we usually parked this boat at the bottom where there is additional space to park and seemed nice & safe. Only downside is there’s no public hose/washing area in the bay so can’t flush the boat engine out with fresh water unless parking up near the house (where there is a hose available). Excellent having the separate freezer. Great deck & outdoor area. Cosy fire. House had everything you need. Definite bonus having internet provided and good mobile coverage. Jeff the owner is very friendly & helpful. 10/10 Have already booked our next stay.

We had a lovely stay and appreciated the welcoming vibe right from arrival until departure. What could the odds be that on our first day we were looking around the Admiralty Bay side of the peninsular for a fishing spot we bumped into a Guy with his quad bike and two dogs. A quick "hello and chat" when we soon discovered that the Guy we were chatting to was indeed the owner of the property we had just booked into. Crikey! The accommodation was great for a family and in conjunction with the Studio adjacent, it met our requirements perfectly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and semi off-grid holiday experience with all the comforts of home. Very satisfied guest, Rex.
