Amazing stay, the host gave a very kind upgrade and I felt like it was a night staying with friends. It was pizza night and so fun with live music and socializing.

Host was very helpful but not intrusive, the bach had everything you need, includign barbecue, but still felt like a bach, it's near the sea, and near cafes and the store. Also has grand view out to the mountains.

Stunning beach,great walking,quiet and clean

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Beautiful scenery, tranquil and peaceful. Go prepared with dinner however, as we never made it out the door in time for takeaways - they close very early! Not so great for those with a small baby, who can't leave their accommodation.

I drove to join a 6:30 tour of Farewell Spit from here. A couple of coffee places to enjoy, a lovely beach, nice camping ground by the beach with what seemed well maintained family accommodation - fantastic sun rises across the bay. Just beautiful
