Amazing property
We loved our stay at The Deck. The house is beautifully appointed, and generously stocked with the essentials. We also really appreciated how clean it was. The location is next level amazing - beautiful sandy beach - oh so quiet - and nightly visits from inquisitive kangaroos. For us it was the perfect location to explore the island from. On a side note: the driveway is very steep and would have been difficult to manage for our parents, not a problem for us and our teen daughter though.

Stunning
Beautiful house, amazing views, wonderful host. Everything you could want, with beach access at your doorfront. Only disappointment was the pillows, which are in desperate need of replacing.

Bliss on a beach
A truly wonderful experience. Daily walks on a beautiful beach. Privacy and comfort are key. It was akin to staying in a luxury hotel without the crowds. We could highly recommend this property
