Property


ADULTS ONLY (sorry, no kids facilities)

A great eco experience - just 15 minutes from Cape Conran - the start of the 90 mile beach and close to 7 National and Coastal Parks makes this a great place to relax and experience East Gippsland.

We have 5 stairs inside so are not suitable for wheelchair access. However, we have found that people with other disabilities have coped fine and have enjoyed having access to all guest areas both in house and around the 3 acres of grounds.
