Fishing Boat trips, birding, extensive walking trips available apart from local walks. Always bring sturdy shoes/walking boots and a rain coat and warm clothes.

Stayed at the cottage for a couple of nights and had a lovely time. The location really did it for us. The views are superb! We walked down to the beach both nights and really enjoyed just looking out into the little bay. We definitely appreciated all of the large windows to see all of the visiting birds. The location is easily walkable to some great walking tracks and deep bay. It was lovely to have Andrea meet us at the ferry. Having the vehicle was a huge bonus. It suited our needs perfectly and we found it to be clean and tidy, although I'm not sure the fuel tank was actually full as the only driving we did was from the ferry to the cottate, to Lee Bay and back (twice), and back to the ferry which somehow used 1/8 of a tank..The petrol station was going to be closed when our ferry left, so we had to leave cash (which we luckily had on hand). The cottage wasn't the cleanest. There were small handprints on the windows and doors, lots of dirt on the floor along the walls and in the corners (vacuum probably doesn't reach these areas), and food crumbs in the drawers. Depsite things not being the cleanest, we would likely stay again as the location simply is amazing!
