About the host

Hosted by Paul and Elizabeth Simpson-Smith

Host profile image
SeaKing Escape has been a labour of love for our family. It was built to lock-up by a building company and then we completed the rest ourselves. It was a 'bucket-list' project that took months of hard work and literally blood, sweat and tears! We continue to maintain it at a high level and improve it where we can both inside and out.
We are happy to share our special place with you, but ask that you take care of it during your stay.
Thank you
Elizabeth & Paul
