"We were late but check in was very simple and easy. Highlight of this accommodation is it's location, it's right in native bush and close to a beautiful beach. Haven't seen any staff around so can't say much about that"

Gorgeous Character Bach

10/10 Excellent

"What a brilliant Bach. Beautiful location and full of history inside (it has been a bach since the 1920s - even the cups, plates, mugs and glasses are historical). Right on the beachfront (you can really hear the waves roar at night), a couple of minutes from the local pub, 5 mins walk from the blowholes and pororari river walk, other major walks a 5-15 drive . Fast chargers just 2 minutes away at Dolomite point for those with electric cars. High recommended. We will be staying again when we can."
