Great place to step away from the hustle of the city but close enough you don't have to travel too far. So much room for outdoor cricket, cross the road to the beach for fishing, rock pools and a 5min drive to Castlepoint. The local pub is awesome and the meals are huge and great value for money. Castlepoint has a free recycling station and wheelie bins for small rubbish after the 50km sign. The dairy has nice fish and chips and basic food supplies. Fast and easy contact with Jenni.

Shame about the deal We came for 10 days- 2 people. The location is spectacular. The facilities need some remediation- very small amount of bach basics-salt, pepper, oil, paper towels, dishwasher liquid, glad wrap and foil. The TV did not work and the BBQ and oven were both very dirty and could not be used. The BBQ did not have any pliers to connect to the gas bottle and when I asked the owner she told me to use matches - there were no matches. I have this feedback to the owner before we left but she has never replied Always told us that the property manager would be in touch but sadly after 10 days we heard nothing The location is outstanding The facilities need some serious attention- once we cleaned the cutlery plates and glasses it was useable ##### Maggie R.
