“This was a gem find with a good clean place to stay. We enjoyed the free Penguin show on our first night.Dinner in the restaurant was great too!”
Donna

“Great vista from our room. Gale force winds overnight up to 100kph rocked the large glass doors but they held up. We went out in the wind with the guide and saw the fairy penguins come in which was a treat.”
Narelle
Australia Australia
“The property is beach front, with access direct to the beach. The penguin show is not something you have to book, due to the access to the beach the Penguins come up onto the property, the owners have a guide each night. Rooms back onto open park...”
