Gipps Cottage is so cosy and comfortable and the perfect location to walk to the town centre and to Griffiths Island to see the lighthouse. It is beautifully decorated with every convenience needed for a short stay. There is also a beautiful garden you can enjoy! I will definitely stay there again and will be recommending it to family and friends!
