I had a super busy week and needed a complete break and change of scenery. This was the perfect place to do so.
The cabin was super easy to find, parking and access to the cabin well marked. It's in a quiet, private location and the entrance to the main house is separate so you don't even notice Vicki if she is leaving/ arriving. I have stayed in apartments before where the hosts were a little too helpful! Vicki was easy to contact if needed, but respected my space and privacy.
The space is small but well utilised, about the same size as a hotel room but with much more character! All cooking utensils provided, cooking is on gas cookers on the deck, however it's under cover and sheltered. Everything was spotless, super comfortable bed, and pressure/ temperature of the shower was spot on.
While it isn't literally on the beach, it's just the other side of the road with a track directly opposite the property, just a few minutes to walk to the beach. Once I got to the beach, I enjoyed watching several wind surfers. There are beautiful ocean views when sitting on the deck or the bed.
The weather was a bit ordinary; cold, windy and raining on and off, but the cabin itself is easy to keep warm and it didn't detract from the relaxed atmosphere.
Finally, a tip if you go on the penguin tours at Low Head (highly recommended, they are tiny and adorable, and come right up close to you), you will need a very warm winter jacket, scarf, beanie etc. I was there late October and it was below 10 degrees Celsius with a chilly breeze. Driving to Low Head is about a 15 minute drive, near sunset so it's driving into the sun, and coming back in the dark, not all corners are marked, so drive slowly.
I will definitely be coming back next time I need to get away from it all.
