Wonderful accommodation, beautifully restored Jane. Everything was provided for a restful holiday. The private beach was a real highlight and well done Greg for all the new gum trees you have planted.

Great place for R&R. Beautiful B&B - everything we needed. All the little extras you have added made it even more enjoyable. Loved all the old photos depicting your heritage. Can't beat the truck tour.

Thank you Jane & Greg for this lovely getaway. Who needs the Hyatt when we have Salters.
