Wonderful B&B located a very short walk from Horseshoe Bay and right by the bus stop linking you to the other bays. The room was spacious and well equipped with a lovely balcony from which we enjoyed the lovely breakfast while watching the wallabies and bird life... There is a lovely pool to cool off in and a shared kitchen if you need to cook in (there aren't many options for dinner in the evening)

Very nice atmospheric house with lots of space and a great veranda. Breakfast was lovely - ordered from a menu and then left on a tray for us to eat on the veranda. Location is great - 5 minutes walk from the beach.

Yummy breakfast and good balcony

Great place to stay with a lovely breakfast. Good location near the beach, but a little bit away from the main street which suited us well. Everything walkable in Horseshoe Bay and very close to the bus stop which was also useful. Bed was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the private outdoor space provided by the balcony. Good kitchenette as well.

We loved our stay at True North. It was an absolute haven from the heat. We loved cooking dinner in the kitchen and hanging out by the pool. It’s right by the bus stop and a few minutes from Horseshoe Bay. The breakfasts were a highlight - I recommend the pears!

Wonderful rooms and addiional facilities( shaded pool, bbq area). Short walk to restaurants. Bars and beach at gorgeous horseshoe bay. Bus connecting horeshoe bay to ferry terminal runs past the front of the building. Short bus ride to the start of the famous forts walk. Almost guaranteed to see Koalas in the wild on this stunning walk
