Wow what can I say. Wonderful, superb they don't seem to do Utopia justice. So big and the verandah was bliss, looking over the water watching the boats. They house itself had everything and more, even an ice cream maker. Thank you Cate for allowing us to stay it was a little touch of heaven.

Pristine

5 stars all the way! Beautiful location. I could almost dip my toes in the water, and feel the splash of the passing dolphins and resident pelican, from the cosy swinging chair on the apartment deck. All the comforts of home, with the style of a seaside escape. Couldn’t fault the cleanliness, and the bed was so comfortable we struggled to get up in the morning. We struggled to leave full stop actually! Such a gorgeous little fishing village with a local boathouse cafe straight out of the pages of a book only a stones throw away. Many adventures can be had here, and we shall certainly return. Especially seeing as I couldn’t quite finish the puzzle that was supplied! See you soon Dunbogan, and thank you having us in your home Cate.
