We loved that the beach out front was shallow enough for the kids to play. The games, movies and books were all great as the weather did turn.

It would have been handy to have been more informed about the incoming weather. Especially when it was quite extreme.

This place is truely a piece of hidden paradise. Undoubtedly the best place to stay in to Aore Island. I will miss sitting in the varandah in the evening and sipping wine. Stayed 6 nights and the house has everything you need for a pleasant stay. We cooked a lot. Loved the bikes as we explored the island and there is a support network of people for water taxies airport transfer etc. Had an excellent stay, we will be back.

View. Snorkeling.

The location was idyllic, with an incredible outlook onto Santo. We loved going to sleep each night with the sounds of gentle waves only metres from your door. This off-the-grid home had everything we needed including games, boards, bikes and a kayak. We loved being able to bike ride around the island and also visit the local resort for dinner and drinks. We snorkelled and kayaked about the island and it was so beautiful. Aore island is far enough away from the main town to feel remote and special, but easy to access (less than 10minutes) by the taxi boats who drop and pick you up right from your front door! Stuart and June are so helpful and guide you through how to get around the island and Santo. We almost didn't have to organise a thing and as we arrived so late on our first night we felt like we were in a James Bond movie when we were picked up at the airport by their driver and then speed-boated across the channel in the dark of night! Another highlight nearby was to dive the SS President Coolidge, which is just across the channel, it was spectacular. This property really has everything you could want right at your fingertips. We highly recommend it and wished we'd had more time to explore the whole island!
