What a peaceful place!
My stay on Drayton Island was beautiful. This bungalow was well-appointed, very clean and had everything I needed for a getaway to recharge. The peace and quiet is unmatched, and the hosts are gracious and inviting. If you are looking for a break from rush and hurry, from sound and light pollution, you'll find it here. It's an easy ferry ride from Georgetown, but I recommend asking the hosts to provide a water taxi. Highly recommended!
