Semaphore House is simply amazing. Staying in the house is an adventure in itself; you become immersed in the heritage of the area and every nook and cranny reveals something of the past. The rambling garden is delightful and is sectioned by convict-brick walls: a place for barbecues, a veggie garden, old fruit trees, a herb garden, a wood shed, chickens clucking about the place. The outlook to the bay is lovely and the whole place lends itself to some beautiful photos and inspiration for painting. There were only three of us but it really would sleep ten comfortably. You’ve got to go see for yourself!
