If you are seeking a charmingly rustic, secluded getaway to a cottage located twenty metres from a stunning protected beach; look no further.

Getting to the house is a boating adventure directly from Palm Beach (either by the ferry, the friendly local boat house, or the water taxi). Not being able to drive to the house is a nice removal from the mundane, however make sure you pack accordingly.

The main sandstone cottage is designed to effortlessly entertain large or small groups of people. The generous outdoor setting is nicely accompanied by extra deck chairs and umbrellas.

Richard and Claudia have very tastefully arranged the homely living interiors and bedrooms. The tree-house (bedroom and bathroom), removed from the main cottage, is fantastic and you are treated to a stunning elevated view to the East. Watching sunrise over the ocean from the comfort of bed is pretty special.

The quiet location means sleeping with the doors open to the sound of gentle waves is a must, and the house is well stocked with mosquito coils to make the pests don't interrupt.

The recently renovated kitchen contains everything needed for cooking, and is complemented by the large BBQ outside.

There are walking trails nearby which can take you to the West Head lookout, Aboriginal Archaeological sites, and tiny beaches dotted around the headland.

All-in-all, a very pleasant stay, and we look forward to any opportunity to return.
