The location on the lagoon and a tributary provides excellent water access for paddling, especially at high tide. The view is superb but the lack of shading on that aspect means the chalet gets baked by the afternoon and evening summer sun. The area was quiet and the wildlife abundant. The chalet had some maintenance issues and some features didn't work, plus it tends to get hot in summer and is likely cold in winter due to being draughty, but it does have reverse cycle A/C and a wood heater. Just needs a bit of investment to update it and ensure things work correctly, and to improve comfort. Was good value for money. The dog exclusion rule means that the kangaroos feel safe to live amongst the chalets, making for great photos. If you want to be offline, the location is great, but if you want mobile network, forget it, as the location has barely any reception even for the best devices, and there is no other internet option. There's just enough mobile net for text messages and some email but little more (1 bar of 3G or 4G depending on the device and its position). But you can get decent reception on the nearby beach. No functional Telstra Air connection despite there being a public phone booth at the front of the chalet complex. But hey, for holidays off-grid or with minimal connection, it's great. BYO pretty much everything for food as there's nothing in Berrara for resupply but there is a store and cafe a couple of kms to the north, but with limited opening hours. Otherwise plenty of food options in Sussex Inlet area.
