The homely atmosphere is enhanced by a large dining table ideal for gathering and making lasting memories over delicious meals, sharing stories and laughter, while the outdoor BBQ area provides an excellent opportunity for alfresco dining, making it perfect for enjoying the warm evenings.

Come and make this your home away from home!
Pre-Authorization Damage Deposit Hold
To ensure coverage for any potential incidentals or damages during your stay, Bush to Bay Holiday Stays will place a temporary pre-authorization hold of $250 on your credit card two days before check-out. This is a standard practice in the hospitality industry and serves as a placeholder for any additional charges before final billing.
⚠️ Important: A pre-authorization hold is not a charge—it simply reserves funds temporarily. If no incidental costs or damages occur, the hold will be released after check-out, depending on your bank’s processing time.

Beautiful spot, dragged down by no access tk internet via mobile data or wifi. Sounds like a great excape from technology until you need to check your banking app or want to see what there is to do in the area on maps.
