I almost don’t want to recommend this property so it is always available for when I want to rent it time and time again. It is a lovely bungalow with the most beautiful view across Woy Woy bay from the back patio and kitchen and living area. The rooms are all a great large size. It’s just beautiful

Relaxing and convenient

We stayed here as a family of adults and had an amazing time. Being a short trip from Sydney to maximise our break time, it still feels very removed from the city and surrounds. The spaces and yard were wonderful for spending time in, and the water views and access were perfect!
