Beautiful cottage
Friendly host Very close to boat rampQuaint lovely place
Quaint and peaceful cottage, feels immersed in nature and a place to unwind and recharge. Well equipped kitchen, nice dining area. One air conditioning unit with several fans that’s adequate to beat the heat in early summer.
We didn’t have signal (Telstra and Optus) nor manage to connect to wifi (iPhone 15 and Samsung s23) within the cottage, but there’s connectivity at the balcony outside the room or patio of the house.

Tranquil and stylish rustic cottage
The cottage is thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. Everything I needed was supplied in immaculate condition indoors. It would have been suburb with an updated deck.
I loved the cottage and Deb and Wayne were helpful hosts thank you.

The cottage is beautifully decorated with the original stove and floorboards.
Highly recommend taking bikes to ride along the estuary too.

Gorgeous Cottage
We enjoyed a lovely overnight stay at Deb and Wayne's cottage and it was everything we needed.
A charming little cottage, very clean, in a fabulous location.
Communication with Deb prior to our stay was excellent. We unfortunately didn't meet Deb but Wayne was very helpful and friendly upon our arrival. He went out of his way to help us park a horse float, and then kindly fixed a small problem we had with the float. We were so grateful, and certainly chose the right place to stay.
Thank you Deb and Wayne. We will most definitely recommend your cottage to family and friends.
