This is a historical, heritage accommodation. The (quite spacious) pavillion is slowly being renovated. We decided to stay in the upstairs suite, which looked like the most recently renovated area. The house is charming, but indeed requires ongoing maintenance, as do all heritage accommodation. The views are amazing. The location is very peaceful and abundant with wildlife (peacocks, wallabies, hens, birds, etc). One of the best things for us and the kids was to have regular visits from the horses in the garden. Being allowed to interact with them and feed them was probably the best moments of our stay for the kids. The house is a couple of minutes away from the beach. Our dog loved it there too.
