Our second year staying at Shearwater. Clean and comfortable rooms and beds. Well stocked kitchen with all the cutlery, plates and cooking utensils you would ever need. Great location with easy access and plenty of parking. Elspeth has recently installed a dishwasher and our all male crew (10 of us) loved it. It really is a home away from home.

OMG! Where to start!Location location location!Extra amenities, port a cot for Bub, sand toys, floaters for creek and extremely well sourced cooking utensils, cutlery, coffee machine and more! So easy to get up, down or inland on island tracks and a great meal at the pub/convenience store just a very short stroll down the way. The 3 bathrooms and 3 toilets made sure no one was kept waiting and the car takers and host both amazingly wonderful to deal with! We are crossing our fingers the house will be available for next years trip (once we confirm the dates with all our travellers)
