The great view accompanied by the bird life was fabulous. It was very relaxing to listen to nature at its best especially when we had a huge crack of thunder and lightning. We found the birds and their different “songs” amazing! A very clean unit so well located near the foreshore. My hill climbing has strengthened my legs! Yes! We walked to everything that we wanted so great location. We very much enjoyed the stay.

After an exciting international career as a professional musician, I am happy to share this magical property with others

Why they chose this property

Glorious expansive views, blissful swimming ( Shelly beach is my favourite, only a minute away), forest and and beach walks where sea eagles soar above. Get away from the rat race and experience true connection with beauty in nature.
You can see whale's breaching between May and Nov, the fish are jumping - and catch up on some fishing down the road in the Nambucca River where dolphins frolic.

What makes this property unique

Hill St has the best view in the world - food for the soul !
