This is a drop of paradise i don’t know why more people don’t come here, the property is massive, old fashioned and well kept. Free surfboards and wet suits to borrow, the common areas are stunning and packed with things to do. If you're going up the east coast you have to stop here for a couple nights on your way up to brisbane or down to Sydney you won’t regret it. Seriously!
