Cute retro property, clean and comfy, lovely location. Perfect for a couple . We enjoyed sitting out on the deck set amongst the trees to look at the water. Only issue really was that the front door was warped and wouldn’t lock consistently. ##### Belinda H. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise M. 21 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful place to stay We loved the house, it was clean, cozy and filled with character which showed that some thought had been put into decorating it. It appeared to be freshly painted, with a very workable kitchen that had everything we needed. The weather was not great so it was a perfect house for the two of us as we were able to sit comfortably outside or inside. Great central location for us to go bushwalking in all directions. It is a bit out of town but we had lunch in Huskisson every day and then cooked dinner at night at the house. We would definitely stay at this home away from home again. Thanks to the owners for providing such a lovely property. ##### Louise M.
