We had a wonderful time at Sheoakes. The property is amazing in every way imaginable and really feels like a home that Bob and Sarah have set up for themselves first I.e. It doesn't just have 'token' fixtures and fittings, this is bespoke luxury, from the generous deck on three sides to the truly beautiful art works and luxury kitchen right down to the plastering on the walls and the handles on the doors ( not to mention the doors themselves)! The equipment available goes above and beyond essentials, too--the bed is fabulous and the kitchen is jotted out with more than most of us would have at home by way of spices and ingredients as well as in terms of kitchen equipment--we made some great shortbread biscuits!
Bob and Sarah were very helpful throughout the process of booking and during our stay got back to us with any advice we needed. They both know a lot about the area and are happy to share.
As for the location, it's also great. There are local lagoons and beaches as well as easy access to local towns, including St. Helens, Binalong (bay of fires), Bicheno (Penguin parade) and Coles Bay Wineglass Bay.
We spent two weeks in Falmouth over Christmas and it was wonderful and quiet but gave us access to some beautiful places. Highly recommended.
