We loved our stay at the Cockle in spite of crap weather and the cancellation of our Farewell Spit trip due to the sudden change to Level 2. We loved being able to sit outside, under the covered porch, even when it was raining, watching the fantails flitting about. The view out to the beach was great and totally private. There was so much space inside and lots of things provided to keep us occupied. There is a very handy campstore just down the road and great food at the Old School cafe. It was a lovely break away from it all and we would love to come back some day to see what it's like when the sun is shining.Highly recommended.
