Remote and beautiful and well appointed
The place is remote and fabulous with a steep gravel driveway and set far above the road for noiseless nights of stargazing. It requires a little bit of off grid savvy but nothing even this 60 year old New Yorker couldn’t learn in seconds. The view is absolutely stunning, the house is quite comfortable. Very comfortable beds, spotless, shower, washing machine, beautiful, wounding, deck, Thoughtful touches as well, kitchen with small walkin pantry was clean and well-equipped. Surrounded by lush, native bush, and expensive view of the sounds with swimming just down the road at the beach, hiking in either direction up and down the road, this place was a real winner. Communicating with Beth was fast easy and informative, I really love this place.

Little Paradise
What a stunning location and definitely one of my favourite spot in the Sounds! Great safe swimming beach, lovely neighbourhood and man, the view - just amazing. We loved this cosy, comfy place and would love to come back! Very good communication and infos of the place, easy check-in! Booking of water taxi and organising everything for a weeks' stay was easy - no probs at all. The driveway is steep and bringing the luggage up and down was a bit of a mission but definitely worth it! Thanks Beth for this wonderful experience!

Beautiful spot in paradise - we had a lovely stay but could not get out due to bad floodings
We loved our stay in St Omer - it was a proper hideaway. The property was well maintained and equipped with all that is needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful fireplace with everything provided. Plus absolutely amazing views and perfect for exploring! Unfortunately, we had massive trouble getting out due to the bad rain as the road is very prone to slips and washouts in bad weather...

Perfect, lovely house!
The house is situated in a beautiful area, very quiet and - as the photos show - has an amazing view. It is well stocked, warm and comfortable. The owner provided really detailed and thoughtful information about accessing the property as well as walks around the area and much much more. This was very much appreciated. Thank you.

Stunning location to get away from it all
Clean, comfortable cottage with amazing views. Great place to relax and get away from it all for a few days. I loved walking on the beach and swimming in the Sound. Come prepared for the long, but beautiful, drive (two hours from Linkwater) and steep driveway. I really enjoyed trying out the Aeropress and went straight to Blenheim and bought one myself!
