The views were amazing! Fantastic for seal and dolphin watching. Beautiful sunrises. Only negative for us was the access which is initially steep over the railway track. We had a bike rack on the back of a ute and had to remove it to get over the first bit. A mention in the listing about this would have been helpful. Otherwise absolutely loved our days there.
The entrance to driveway. Doesn’t really show how steep it is.
Front of bach, looking out over the sea.
Beautiful sunrise taken from balcony at the bach.
At one of the seal colonies after a short walk round the rocks.
