"The view"

- Renny, -Nov '11

"The location and views are fantastic. The house itself is quite comfortable but compact. I would not recommend this house for young children due to the dubious stairs accessing the house. "

2009 Finalist TakeABreak Best Places to Stay

Cottage, Holiday house

Pamper yourself on holiday with decadent comforts like soft egyptian cotton linen, 43" LCD full HD TV and DVD, leather furnishings and what has to be regarded as one of the best views imaginable.
This cottage has 2 bedrooms; one queen size bed in the main bedroom and a bunk bed in the second, a double futon in the sitting room (linen not provided for the futon), a kitchen and dining room that faces out over the ocean, a lounge and a large covered deck with outdoor setting and barbeque.

What better way to spend time than to sit back on the deck, wine and nibbles in hand, and simply relaxing while the humpback whales (between July and November) frolick in the clear waters below?

Only 35 minutes from Grafton, Minnie Waters is a secluded hideaway surrounded by Yuraygir National Park, making it ideal for nature lovers or those aching to escape the rat race.

There is a complimentary shuttle bus (on arrangement) to the nearby restaurant and pub at Wooli. Pets are welcome downstairs and outdoors only.
