What a unique location this was. Located on a small island and one of only a few places around. A hidden gem. The owner, Phil, lives right across the road and was available and helpful with all needs. The house itself was great with newer appliances and all was all was very clean. This place is right on the ocean in a small little bay that was very beautiful for swimming and snorkeling. That being said, it is a rocky shoreline and not the easiest to enter the water, especially at low tide. It would not be a good spot for little kids, however, there are many nice beaches within a 10 minute drive. Traveling around the south shore attractions was east from this location and there were tonnes of things to see with an hours drive in either direction. I would not hesitate to return to this place in the future.

If you are looking for a relaxing get away spot with the sound of the ocean to accompany your day but with all the commodities of a modern home (no tv, good thing) then look no further!

We loved everything about our stay! We were at the red roof for two nights and wish we would of booked a week! The views are wonderful. The location is peaceful and quiet with amazing wildlife views! We saw seals, birds, jumping fish, etc. We arose early to colorful and beautiful sunrises! The house is open and full of light and clean! We cooked in the kitchen both nights and everything we needed was there. Wish we had time for an outside fire and to use the grill. Phil and Catherine are awesome hosts and people! Friendly, welcoming and helpful! We cant wait to go back to the Red Roof and to visit our new "host" friends! If you are looking to be with nature, this is the right place!

My Sister, Nephew and I go on an annual trip to the beaches. This year did not dissapoint - Beautiful and tranquil. Phil met us and told us of places to swim and explore on foot from the cottage. Enjoyed sitting out back by the water, playing games on the large dining room table, relaxing and reading books and cooking in a well supplied kitchen. Normally we do take aways but with the view and beautiful kitchen it was enjoyable to cook. We enjoyed Bayswater and Queensland Beaches. Bayswater is only 12 mins away so we went three times! It would be a great place to bring your bike and kayak! I definitely would have enjoyed those activities as well. Remember a pair of sneakers (my sister didn't) as you will want to walk around and explore!
