A cosy cottage in a lovely location.
Pros:

Great views across Waratah Bay to Wilsons Promontory, and easy access to the beach. We needed to be close to Walkerville and Waratah Bay, so the location was perfect.

Cons:

Everything was fine. The 2-bar heater over the kitchen bench in Cuttlebone Cottage was not working, but this didn't inconvenience us in any way.

Pros:

Loved our stay, the views and atmosphere were the highlights. Very serene and peaceful. The cottage was also well equipped and had most things we needed for our stay. The host was also responsive and helped with any queries we had. Highly recommend.

Cons:

Could benefit with having a dishwasher. The back sliding doors lock did not work (it wasn’t installed properly to begin with it seems) so that should be fixed. On one of the windy nights it caused the door to stay ajar.

Absolutely breathtaking 🩵
Pros:

Perfect spot, so relaxing. We felt like it was a movie house location. We will be coming back for sure. Our family had the best time. A trip to remember

Cons:

Only downside was no curtains on some of the windows. However, these aren’t meant to have them and had I not had small kids it wouldn’t have been an issue at all

Really beautiful location, private and quiet.
Pros:

Beautiful location, private and well heated

Cons:

It could’ve been a little cleaner, but it wasn’t that bad. I’d prefer if they had a proper bbq and not a cheap electric one.
