Beautiful in every way

Peaceful and quiet but close to everything you need and the lovely peninsula beaches. A home well-designed to make life easy. Great for family in a natural environment with an always changing outlook over the estuary and the Stillwater wharf. Games on the lawn. We thoroughly loved our stay.
