Nice room, Freycinet National Park is close by and surrounding beaches are lovely
The cottage had everything we needed. Clean and accessible. Easy to book, friendly staff. An easy walk to the beach and to town. A great place to stay within reach of beautiful Wineglass Bay.
Quiet setting, we liked and close to local amenities. Very good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The place is so beautiful and cosy.
I only spent one night there but I enjoyed it a lot. There was all the amenities I needed (kettle, coffee, tea, heater...), the bed was comfortable and the reception was very helpful for the check-in as I arrived late. Loved my stay there.
