Wonderful stay

We had a very nice stay at opossum bay. The view from the front was amazing. Bed was very comfortable and the whole layout was good. The only negative is: that it would be good if a handrail was installed for pathway to the property. Overall we had a lovely time

We didn't want to leave.

We loved everything about our stay. The bed was very comfortable, the beach cottage had everything that we needed, being able to step out onto the beach and water was just magical. Listening to the water just metres away from the windows at night was so relaxing even watching people walk by in the mornings while having our coffee was a treat. We also do a lot of walking so having a trail close by was an added bonus. Definitely a place to come back to for a longer stay.

Opossum Bay Beach frontage

A dear little cottage nestled on the cusp of the sand, but we found navigating down the steep path quite daunting and unexpected. A hand rail would certainly improve this. There is no oven provision which would also have been handy to have known in advance. madmmadappliance.

The second time we have stayed at this great little property, and once again it delivered the goods. Steve is easy and great to deal with and the little cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Positioned absolute beachfront, you can’t beat the location. Would recommend highly.
