It was a beautiful quiet location right on the beach. The night sky was fantastic. I’ve never seen so many stars. We didn’t see any dolphins in the bay or penguins at porpoise bay either. We were only there for one night though. Don’t know if it was the time of the year. House was clean. I would go back and would recommend to friends.
