From the minute we stepped out on to the ferry wharf we knew we had made the right decision to spend out weekend at Great Mackerel Beach. The place feels more like an island with people getting around on golf buggies and a beach that felt like it was more suited to a tropical island only had wallabies on it. The walk up to the house was certainly harder than we had thought, but that might have been all the wine and food in our backpacks and I wouldn't want to do it in the dark, however the second we arrived it was all forgotten The house is beautiful and the views go on forever, the main bedroom was incredible to wake up in but the kids bedroom with bunk beds was even better. The fire warms the whole house and we would have stayed there forever if we could. The only one negative thing was the mosquitos but take spray and you will have the perfect weekend get away. We loved it!
