Stunning location. We only had one over-night there but wished we could have stayed longer. It was after dark when we arrived so it was a glorious surprise waking to just how close to the water we were. Will definitely be back!

Great little spot if you want to be in a quiet little town right on a pristine white beach with superb views of the derwent river and mount wellington. We were greeted by 2 dolphins about 5m off the shore as we entered the front door. Place was clean, neat and tidy and had everything you need. Host was great to deal with and nothing was a hassle at all. We’re heading back soon. Thanks.
