"A wonderful winter getaway with our two little dogs. We loved the amazing views from the deck, especially the sunrise over Freycinet. The walk to the beach was short and easy, and apart from some birds, we had the whole beach to ourselves. The house was warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing holiday with our pooches. We had a great time and we look forward to visiting again."
