Who could ask for more, on the river's edge, can swim at high tide and low tide, easy swim across the river to an easy track through bushland to the beach on the other side. Simple, private accommodation. Amazing, beautiful place.
Position was great but no privacy
The floor mats are very very dirty
I think the fridge should be cleaned out and also food cupboards
