We had the most idyllic stay at King George Beach Retreat. It’s easy to see why everyone gives rave reviews. The character filled timber cottage, right by the sea is a fabulous place to simply relax and unwind. The private beach is perfect - with dolphins pretty much daily while we were there and a resident opsrey to enjoy. Kangaroos and heath monitors are regular visitors. It’s also a great place to use as a base to explore the island’s beautiful other places. We fell in love with the island and the chance to be completely remote from most civilisation. However, we think you really need a couple of weeks to do the place justice. The house is most beautifully appointed with quality bedding and equipment. It had absolutely everything we needed. And Will called in to deliver a plentiful supply of wood in case we wanted a fire, but the weather was very kind. Although we did have a wonderful thunderstorm our first night. Thank you Kirsty and Chris for enabling us to share this wonderful place.

This place is all about the location, which really is spectacular. We loved the uninterrupted ocean views and private access to the beach which we were able to enjoy mostly to ourselves (occasionally saw the odd person from a neighbouring house). As another reviewer mentioned, you're paying for the location. The house itself is a bit tired and the photos do tend to show it's best side, and not the older bathroom and kitchen. We did have one issue with the power having gone out before we arrived due to a lightening strike. Obviously out of the owner's control, but still problematic when the water pump relies on electricity. We ended up having power back on that evening but no water. It was only in the morning that we worked out for ourselves the pump and water valves had all been turned off so we unnecessarily spent a night without water, including no flushing toilet. This put a damper on the start of our trip, although it was better once we had running water again.

Pros: The location of this place is superb as long as you don’t mind being isolated. The beach it overlooks and the land it is set on is really beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. There is little phone reception and no TV reception which we really appreciated as it allowed us to truly cut off. The beds are comfy and warm with electric blankets. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace. The host is lovely and communication with him was good.
Cons: to be completely honest, I thought the place was quite overpriced. For what we paid, I expected better. In general, the home looks tired and the wet areas particularly are in need of maintenance or updating. There was no tea, coffee or sugar in the kitchen which I would think is a basic inclusion.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but do believe you’re paying for the view.
