We had a really rainy weekend at Mackerel Beach but because Daniella and Pete's house was so well set up with games and movies we had a relaxing time. The ferry ride over was pleasant and the walk to the house from the wharf was easy. The lush green lawn and trees in the garden with fairy lights make sitting on the deck for dinner magical. Each night wallabies came into the garden and we also were thrilled to see a squirrel glider in a neighbours tree. We had a walk to Currawong Beach and then onto The Basin . This took a few hours including a ferry ride back. We loved our weekend in this beach cottage.
