Perfect view of beach and public works

Fantastic View

For the most part we loved our stay. The view is incredible with the sound of seabirds and waves in the background a great way to wake up. We didn't see any penguins but plenty of willy wagtails and shorebirds. I think the addition of Wi-Fi (if available in Emu Bay) would have been great only due to the unavailability of a connection anywhere on the island for anyone other than Telstra customers. Whilst charming and clean, I found the house a little shabby for the price and a little updating wouldn't go amiss. That being said, the bed was VERY comfortable! Other than that, we were happy with our stay.

Well set up, Unbelievable view, close to the jetty

Well set up , great spacious lounge room/dining with a view that has to be seen to be believed. Plenty of room to park vehicles if more than one going. Across the road to jetty for fishing or emu bay fishing charter if going on that. Playground in short walking distance. Loved it so much I wan't to go back next year!!
