Set against the backdrop of the secluded and beautiful Rocky Bay. The property backs onto the National Park and ideal for nature lovers who want to explore the island. Enjoy a private deck from which to enjoy old trees, birds and a visit from our friendly chickens. The self-contained unit is located underneath our family home and would be ideal for early risers who enjoy the outdoors. The space is self-contained with aircon and a plunge pool to stay cool and enjoy your tropical holiday.
Your space is located downstairs from a 3-person family home. You will hear footsteps and some noise from time to time, however we are respectful and conscious of our guest's experience. We are early risers who enjoy quite nights.
Quite no through street with large old trees, backing onto the National Park
