"We stayed there for one night to catch the morning ferry. The property we originally booked is located at Baudin Beach which is 10 minutes drive to the ferry. Luckily, we got upgraded to another property in Penneshaw which is only 2 minutes drive to the ferry. This property is much bigger and a lot nicer. We love the smart TV that allows us to logon to our Netflix account. The kitchen has everything we need for cooking our breakfast. Very happy with the stay."

"Exceptional property. Perhaps the cleanest property we’ve ever used. It’s clear the owners have taken time and consideration for their guests’ experience. Very communicative prior to arrival and plenty of notations within the property for using appliances, etc. Convenient location for our family.
