Barbara and Steve are fantastic hosts and their cottage is lovely. It was wonderful to have everything we needed plus thoughtful extras such as bread, jam and eggs. That jam was delicious, Barbara! Our two kids loved exploring the different tracks through the forest and having a drink on the veranda while pademelons wander around was bliss. We were provided with plenty of firewood, towels, bedding and DVDs. The kids had fun with the duplo. This place is well-positioned for the Tahune AirWalk and Hastings Caves but be aware that southport itself is not a place you can stock up on essentials in- this is a retreat and not an activity hub which suited us just right. We left after our two-night stay feeling recharged and ready to continue our holiday.
