    Wonderful stay in a relaxed, self-catering resort. Lovely, clean bungalows with AC and a deck right on the beach with Cockatoo, Wallaby and Goanna visitors! Friendly staff and a lovely salt pool. Kitchen open most nights but didn't try as we self-catered and the kitchen facilities provided had everything you needed. Lovely island with walking trackings and multiple beaches (although we were there in stinger season!). Phone reception and wifi worked on the island (with Telstra). Nice and neat gardens and cool central hangout space. …

    Great unit with spectacular view from the huge balcony. Comfortable bed and equipped kitchen. Wonderful, friendly hosts with good ideas what to do in town and in the area. Be prepared to drive up or take a AUD7.00 cab from town since it is a long uphill climb to the place which is the price you pay for that view. Well worth the price.…
