Amazing home

We were so happy with this space. Beautifully renovated with all the comforts of home. Stylish bathrooms, kitchen and very comfortable beds. Sensational views over Bingalong bay. Within a 4min walk to a children’s playground, walk across the road to the beach and almost next door to the only restaurant, cafe/bar in Bingalong Bay. We would definitely stay here again.

Stunning property with spectacular views of the bay

We were very happy with our stay Humbugs! To the point I didn’t want to leave. The property has been thoughtfully designed and appointed with everything you could need for your stay. I walked in the doors and immediately felt relaxed and at home. The views of the bay are second to none and can be taken advantage of from a number of vantage points inside and out. The drive in to St Helena’s for supplies is easy and enjoyable and is a great options for those wanting to cook in the fully equipped kitchen using local produce (which we did a couple of nights). I highly recommend staying in this property and would stay again if I was lucky enough to be back in the area.

Best of the Bay

What a luxurious renovated home! Beautiful and modern. Well stocked kitchen. The quality knives with self sharpening sleeves were a bonus. Plenty of room in the kitchen and a gorgeous living area. Great TV, and the windows are spectacular for the views. The deck has lots of different seating options and a nice grill. Quality linens, organic bath products, and even a heated towel rack. Tastefully decorated with a beachy vibe. So close to the beach that you can hear the waves at night. This is where you want to stay in the Bay of Fires.
