Family & Pet friendly

We had a much needed change of scenery at Wye River. Kids and dog loved staying here with lots of space for everyone. Log fire was lovely for our winter get away. Visiting bird life was a bonus.

My pre-Christmas break with George (my GSP)

The property is excellent. It is very well equipped. The view through the trees to the sea from the veranda is very appealing.
