This is a truly magical part of the world. I didn’t have many expectations except that we would be in the thick of nature, which was absolutely how it was.
My main shortcoming was that I had zero concept of how far away it is from the world, which is one of the biggest benefits. The distance from the nearest town/shop isn’t that long in kilometres, until you factor in how much of it is a dirt road. It was lucky that we brought enough food for our whole stay and didn’t have to go anywhere for more because it would have been so disruptive to the rhythm of the days. There are some supplies in the house but if you’re particular about what you use, would def recommend BYO condiments. On the way back a tree had fallen across the road and I realised if it had been another metre along the road, we wouldn’t have been able to drive on the verge to get past. Again, the isolation is the charm!
This place is absolutely perfect for a kayak or SUP. I’ll rent one for next time. Also, my kids are normally in the water every day in NSW, it was cold for them in February in full length spring wetsuits. The water under the bridge just down the road as low tide is ending was the only time when it was warm enough for them to stay in for ages without complaining. There was a lot of hot chocolate enjoyment.
We did bring masks and snorkels which was great for snorkelling around some of the points. The bay would be a great place for lap swimmers.
Heaven!
