It's exactly what it says, in the bush behind some houses, also in the bush. Completely private and secluded, only the birds and lizards for company. The back yard and front could do with some cleaning and maintenance, and somehow the floor tiles, which look just like plywood, always look grubby, even when clean. If solitude and nature are your thing, you will love it. Recommend a walk down to le Paradis restaurant and takeaway, but take a good torch for the walk home. Oh, and say hi to the tame kookabura. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great little hideaway for a relaxing getaway. Appreciated that we could take our dog. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber 22 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Secluded The place was secluded but so close to local cafes and beautiful beaches. Affordable but comfortable. Website states it has a microwave but it doesn’t. The wildlife was amazing with kookaburras coming to visit! ##### Amber Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie 3 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful and serene Lovely stay - well equipped, comfy bed, great shower, beautiful bush location, extra thoughtful touches like free bikes and little pots of mince in the freezer to feed the blue kingfishers! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well designed and compact apartment. We will be back - if only to make sure we try the outdoor bath next time! Great service - as always - by Best of Magnetic too. ##### Julie Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Sondheim Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sondheim-Theatre-Hotels.0-l6251258-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [BLUESEA Interpalace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-De-La-Cruz-Hotels-Hotel-Blue-Sea-Interpalace.h1321349.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/dxb/london-to-dubai) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ams/london-to-amsterdam) ### Packages > [Bologna Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bologna.d621.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Agros](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agros.dx6340096)
