Desperate for a holiday, we pre-booked 4-5 months in advance. Glad we found Aracalm home. The deck area is a welcome place to sit. The big TV was great for the kids to watch Harry Potter for the 20th time. The backyard is large, which was nice for our dog when we went away on trips she could come join us on. The area is quiet and leafy. It was an easy walk to the beach with our dog, but with the family we drove. Trial Bay Beach is a long stretch of beach - great for families and four-legged friends. You can be active here in a multitude of ways, swimming, paddle boarding, use hydrofoil surfboards , fishing - the waves further down the beach are not massive, but big enough for some fun. Little Bay picnic area and beach provided a stunning setting for sunrise. The 1.5km walk from there to Gap Beach was challenging in the sense of a steady climb over the hill, but worth the walk - the 1.5km way back was easier. Beautiful walk through quality bush with pocket of rainforest-type.
