10/10 Excellent

Wonderful B&B located a very short walk from Horseshoe Bay and right by the bus stop linking you to the other bays. The room was spacious and well equipped with a lovely balcony from which we enjoyed the lovely breakfast while watching the wallabies and bird life... There is a lovely pool to cool off in and a shared kitchen if you need to cook in (there aren't many options for dinner in the evening)
