I’m so thankful that people like Margret are happy to share their slice of paradise with the rest of us. Rene’s Cottage is well equipped and cosy. We loved the deck overlooking the creek and the open space around the property. Margret was generous with her knowledge of the creek and its inhabitants and was very kind and patient with my curious 8yo kid. We used the kayaks multiple times, every day and didn't use our car once. Convenience store sells bait, basic supplies and hot meals (as well as coffee and booze). Both Pottsville and Cabarita are a 45minute walk. Swimming to suit all ages / abilities - surf, calm waters of the estuary or raging rapids as the tide rushes out of the mouth of the creek. Between surfing, fishing, kayaking, bird watching and nighttime fires, we were entertained, refreshed and revitalised.
