The views are one in a million, the property is so comfortable with everything you need and the surroundings are spectacular. Our dogs loved it too-great for walking and a secure backyard where they rolled and played in the sun. We were lucky enough to have a koala perch on our back porch! We loved the quiet on New Years Eve too-no fireworks, just the roll of the ocean. Now that we're home, we're finding we already miss it! We will definitely be back and look forward to it. Tom, their caretaker, was lovely too-even helping us with a flat tyre!!! ##### Jodie E.
