We managed to stay here for 1 night in Passage Hut as there was a cancellation (usually a minimum 2 night stay) so felt very lucky as this was a place I wanted to visit for a long time and I am glad we did. We opted to pay a fee and be delivered to our hut by way of buggy as I have a sore leg and we had too much luggage to cart by foot.
The cabin was small and very dinky but it was all we expected and needed. It was lovely weather so we could fold back the doors which made it feel a much larger space.
The cabin was very clean and there was nice touches like some plums from their trees and some macadamia nuts and a nut cracker. There were some nibbles, potato chips and drinks to purchase if you wanted and a game and cards to play if you got bored.
The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on and we had a lovely sleep. There were robes supplied which was a nice touch also.
The kitchen had everything we needed and there was a gas cooker outside and a small one inside for the kettle etc. There was even a nice supply of different teas.
The stainless steel bathtub out in the open on the edge of the deck was lovely and we filled this with solar heated water and sat and had pre dinner nibbles and drinks while taking in the expansive and changing view.
There was a composting toilet out the back which I couldn't quite get the hang of and as you could imagine it did have a bit of an odour. Unfortunately this would have been my one suggestion, and that would be, could the chilly bin/fridge that was in a nook out beside the toilet not be relocated away from the toilet? The toilets smell did put me off fetching anything from the fridge. Perhaps due to space and/or mechanics, this is the only place it could be located?
A short walk down the hill and there was a beach to swim at - albeit a bit rocky but still so private and the water so clean. I just wore my water shoes in the water and it was fine. If you walked another 200 metres, there was a beach which was less rocky which I did swim to and then had a quiet walk along the beach. At low tide it looks as if you could just about swim to the island that was there. There were also kayaks and life jackets provided although we did not use these facilities.
We got a lift back to our car the next day by the host Hayden, who was lovely and very friendly and not minding stopping while I took a couple of photos from a higher vantage point while also giving us a little bit of a history lesson on the island while we drove.
We had an awesome night here and certainly would have loved 2 nights as it so private and peaceful with an interesting and ever changing view as the tide moves in and out. The other hut they also have- Rocky Point, looks amazing also on the website and maybe next time we will try the other hut as we certainly would love to visit again.
