Cocoon is in a really quiet little group of houses. The only sounds you can hear are the crashing of waves and the crackle of the fire at night, and of course birds. It was such a peaceful getaway from everything. A lovely beach walk just across the road and also up the hill at the back, into the bush, meant I didn't need to get in the car to walk my dog all the time. You can watch the ocean from the lounge or sitting out on the front deck which gets the morning sun. Lisa provides heaters which you need in Winter, at least until the fire gets going, but I found it cosy and comfortable with everything I needed, including lots of ready firewood plus some music CDs, DVDs and books. If quiet beaches and minimal civilisation are what you want, this is perfect. There are a couple of stores within 3-6 km, and then Lorne about 30 mins drive away. I hope I can come back again soon.
