Review on stay

We absolutely loved it the place was amazing. The dogs had so much fun. It was very clean and such a nice house. Overall experience was a 10/10 definitely intend to come back here in the future.

Encounter Bay luxury

After being allotted a “pet friendly” cabin at a local caravan park we decided even our dog could not stay there as it was terrible. We needed to find somewhere else quickly and came across this property. Talk about rags to riches. It could not have been any more different. And really not that much more in cost. With lovely views of the ocean - utter luxury. And don’t be put off by the driveway- take heed of their instructions and it is a breeze.

Time machine

Forget your bland, beige hotel rooms and step back in time to the 1830s in this charming, quirky retreat. Such warm and generous hosts, who happily share the rich history of their house, along with great tips to enjoy the here and now. Perfect location to unwind. If you want something unique, you've found the right place.

Had a great time

Large rooms, great view, possibly too many knickknacks for small children to relocate, but our problem not yours. Would recommend to anyone.
