Guest Reviews

 
  • "Lovely place to stay, very isolated, quiet, just what you need to get away from everday life. The house is fully contained with everything you need. We stayed with our children and another family and had a great time, we would love to go back."

  • "The "Love Shack" was a great place to stay for a romantic weekend. The house is very well equipped, and the island is beautiful. We couldn't believe how good everything was."

  • "Great place to relax. Everything was there in the cottage. Excellent cottage, the best we have stayed in so far. Debbie and Slade are a wonderful couple, who have set the cottage up so that you can just walk in and feel at home. Peace and quite. We took our 2 year old son with us, we all had a wonderful time. Thank you Debbie and Slade. "

  • "Absolutely gorgeous inside and out! Very private location, plus this property has everything you could ever need while away. Very special to see a complimentary bottle of red & white wine waiting for us on our arrival! Don't be fooled into thinking it's just for couples either - we took our 2 boys (8 & 5yrs old) over Easter and they had a ball. Plenty of room for them to run around outside, plus we drove around the island and went fishing and swimming. We ate lunch at Aunty Alice's Cafe and had dinner at the Bowls Club, both lovely meals, but the most enjoyable meal we had was a BBQ at the Love Shack on our first night. A very relaxing get-away, without giving up life's little luxuries. Would recommend it in a heart beat! "
