"Convenient spot at Picnic Bay 200 metre walk to cafes, pub , beach and playground . Much less busy than Horseshoe bay which we loved . Great walk up the mountain for sunset. Not too hard we did it with pre schooler . Classic beach house high ceilings tiled floor well equiped kitchen with some extras like salt pepper glad wrap and some spices well appreciated . Fans and air con not needed as June was lovely days 27 and cooler nights . However no fly screens so we couldn’t leave windows open . No mozzies but geckos and other night creatures ( wallabies in the lawn !) very exciting . Beds were not super comfortable fairly firm so a few toppers would be great . Otherwise really enjoyable and big enough for our family with 5 bedrooms ."
