Arrived in Port Charles in stormy conditions but the weathered cottage was clean, warm and dry. Next few days were relaxed as we explored the nearby walks and beaches and evenings on the sunny verandah looking to the bush and sea.

Sea Views for Two

Lovely sunny airy home, with comfy sofas, in a beautiful peaceful area. A sunny front deck with exceptional views of the sea and bushland. Bring your own binoculars. Shady back deck overlooked farmland. Spacious bedroom, with a very firm mattress and soft bedding supplied. The modern kitchen and bathroom are both well equipped. We recommend you bring your own cooking oil, seasonings, tea & coffee; Soap & shampoo etc.Great shower pressure. We highly recommend this holiday home and location for your next trip away, and we look forward to returning too.
