We had the most beautiful time away. Everything was just perfect. Jeff was incredibly accommodating to our needs and so welcoming, very easy to talk to. There was a beautiful outdoor shower with lovely warm water and incredible views. The views and birds were just stunning, many different types of birds to look at. It was quiet and remote, with beautiful stars to stare at. Make sure you bring a portable charger if you want to charge your phone because there are no power points. The kitchen facility is perfect and has everything you need. 10/10 the best stay and we feel so recharged after being there. The quiet, disconnected retreat everyone needs.

Top-Notch Stay
Absolutely lived up to everything I hoped for! This place has truly won my heart. The less I say, the better—anyone planning to stay should experience it for themselves. Jeff has been an outstanding host, truly top-notch! We loved every corner of the space, each area with its own unique charm. An easy, unquestionable 10/10.

Such a beautiful place to stay. So private and tranquil. Close to Torquay and the local beaches. Very clean. A wonderful few days.
