The dining table seats eight and has hosted many gatherings among friends.

At the heart of the home, you’ll find the warm and inviting living area, offering awe inspiring views of King Island’s rugged west coast and the untamed beauty of the Southern Ocean. With the waves rolling in, no day or hour is ever the same; some days it’s calm and flat like a lake and other days the roaring 40’s makes it one of the most treacherous seas on the planet. The indoor fireplace is as rustic as it gets; as the logs crackle in the evening, you’ll discover a sense of unparalleled relaxation. Cosy up in a snug blanket, with a glass of wine and a King Island dairy cheese platter, all while indulging in a movie – an experience that promises pure delight.

All three bedrooms have views of the ocean and high quality bedding is provided. The quiet office space has a futon sofa bed which can accommodate an additional guest (the sofa bed can be made up on request at no additional charge).

The gym in the garage is available for those who want to get their sweat on during their stay. There are weights, TRX, squat rack, yoga mats etc. Beach towels, fishing rods, a beach tent, surf boards are also available for our guests’ enjoyment at the beach.
