Lovely property - great view

The property had everything we needed. It was in a beautiful location, very peaceful - up on a hilltop with great views down to Nelson Bay. Lovely outdoor seating/ eating area which took advantage of the view. Very comfortable bed and very quiet location. Perfect for a relaxing weekend break to get some fresh country air. The kitchen was well equipped. The owners were pleasant and helpful.

Amazing Location, Amazing Property

What more could you ask for..... spotlessly clean top quality accommodation that is well equipped with everything you could need. The pool was the icing on the cake. We swam every day in the warm water. Our host (Gina) met us on arrival, introduced us to the property and local area. She was always available if we needed anything extra. We will definitely come back and stay again very soon. Love this place!
