Take the time to enjoy some of the stunning local beaches in the area Shoal Bay Beach, Zenith Beach, Wreck Beach and Box Beach.

Was very happy with size and location of property. Property clean and well maintained. We stayed for a week. Price reasonable. Would definitely stay again if air conditioning was installed. It was way too hot with just fans.
