It was clean and well equipped. We had 2 families so the two seperate living areas was absolutely perfect. But it was the spot that was the highlight. Amazing views from the deck. Short hop to the jetty, beach and boat ramp. Plenty of space for the kids to run around. And to top it off - the cocktails served from Beach Days was the perfect way to finish off our island holidaying days. We were already making plans on coming back ##### Tobi I.

Everything we needed was supplied. Had to forage for our kindling and ran out of fire lighters but we managed a fire each night. Plenty of relaxing space in and out the home. Wi-fi option would have been handy just to plan our days due to no optus service in the area. ##### Haley G.
