Terrific venue, comfortable clean and well set up. The only thing we couldn't do was use the Weber as there no heat beads available. Not a big deal - the main BBQ is awesome anyway.Very keen to return.

Very well set up old house that has been renovated. Combustion heater was a bonus for the cold weather. Travelled for the whale season in winter and was more than happy with the large number of whales in the bay. Well worth the stay at Fowlers Bay as a small group in a spacious house.

Great trip
fowlers bay is a remote location that offers great scenic views and wildlife (whales, dolphins, seals, and bird life).We caught lots of fish on the jetty and on beaches accessed by 4wds, and whilst boating.The house was a perfect fit for our party; it has plenty of room and well is set up. It was very comfortable and is warmed by a combustion heater. The house is off grid, so water and power are all maintained on site, we followed the simple rules set out by the owner and we had zero problem. A great comfortable property well set up. we will return in the future Regards Peter

Great spot
Fantastic house in a great location, great for large groups or families, we stayed during winter to do the EP Cruises whale watching boat tour and to visit the Head of The Bight. Accommodation was very clean and very comfortable, the wood fire really heated the house well and we enjoyed making use of the outdoor fire pit. The kitchen was large and very well stocked with utensils and cooking items. Use of the oven was unclear and we couldn’t work it out, we had planned oven meals (thinking it was a gas oven) but needed to use the microwave instead. Overall it suited our needs perfectly……but I will be sending some whale photos to add to your brag board!!!!

Beautiful cottage at Fowlers Bay
Stayed three nights in the cottage in Fowlers Bay. Handy to whale watching cruise we did and travel to the head of the Bight. Cottage was spacious and a great entertainer. Large outdoor area with BBQ, large living areas, two bathrooms, huge lounge/dining area. Separate kitchen. Wished I had brought more people with us, would be great for two families to share.
We didn't have issues with running out of gas or electricity - just follow the rules. TV reception is a bit hit and miss but not a problem for us.
Overall, a great holiday home and would highly recommend and would stay again.
