Our stay at Drift@Kooringal was really cool. The property is a nice simple open layout with some nice beach house type touches. The home is an easy stroll to the local cafe/bar and by vehicle close to a lot of different beach settings (e.g, dunes, bay, surf beach). A beautiful relaxing stay option off the grid.
