We came to this amazing spot to enjoy the sunset and it's fair to say it didn't disappoint - especially when this little wallaby jumped around in front of my lens! #LifeAtExpedia
This little wallaby surprised us at sunset. Looking at him though, we weren't sure whether he wanted to wave or fight...! #LifeAtExpedia

Unexpectedly blown away. Did not expect this level of quality, style or comfort in this location. Well appointed and gorgeous. Bonus points for the kangaroos that came to graze at dusk.

The property was clean and the Host was wonderful. It’s pet friendly but you need to keep your dogs on lead as the wildlife is close by. We had an enclosure with us to put around the patio. Would have loved to have a toaster for toast.
