Lovely cottage. Excellent queen size bed, so comfortable. The view is amazing and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony reading a book while watching the waves below. The cottage has plenty of space, modern appliances, spacious bathroom. There are plenty of walks to do around the Bay of Fires. One of the beaches is only about a minute away. It... More

The sounds of the ocean, brilliant uninterrupted views, white sandy beaches that go for miles, this is heaven on earth for a day or two. The cottages have the best location at Binalong Bay. We stayed in Dotril cottage, about 30 metres from the water. As previous reviewers have stated, the cottages are well designed, provisioned and very comfortable. We... More

Wish we had stayed here for more than one night. The cottages all face directly out onto the bay and each has a lovely view, which gets more spectacular as you progress up the hill. Our cottage was immaculate, roomy, beautifully furnished and fully equipped.The veranda area was perfect for relaxing and taking in the view of the bay. If... More

Stayed for 1 night in the deluxe apartment. Marion the hostess gave us a great deal and moved us from Kingfisher to Deluxe at no extra cost. The views, rooms, apartment are excellent. Dont look any further and forget St helens. The only blemish is paying for wireless connection. $4 for 125 mg takes some of the sheen. I think... More

Thankyou for your kind words. I am sorry about the WI FI charges but they are set by Easyweb and totally out of my control. I would love to offer free WI FI but do not want to raise my prices charged for accommodation and due to over use this would end up being necessary. I will persue trying to... More

Stayed in the Burgess cottage for 2 nights in late February. We thought we'd arrived in paradise! The cottage was immaculately clean outside and in and is quite spacious with a combined kitchen/lounge/dining area, all which take in the stunning views. There is also a neat covered verandah for you to sit and enjoy your magnificent surrounds. The separate bedroom... More

We stayed here in February and the location is great for this part of the coast. Travelling as 2 couples in the 2 bedroom cottage was very adequate in terms of size and facilities. Clean and tidy, nothing flash but everything you need for an extended stay. Great views.

Our cottages are beachside family accommodation but at the same time some are suited to couples or two couples. We do our best to supply everything that we feel the traveller needs without being over the top and we are extremely cleanliness concious. Our prices reflect the type of accommodation we supply. The Deluxe is more suited to two couples... More

We stayed in Burgess cottage for two nights. This is probably the lower of all cottages, and therefore less uphill walk from the beach, but the views of Binnalong Bay were still stunning. The cottage was well equipped with dishwasher, coffee plunger and coffee, laundry, hairdryer, and everything else needed to be self-contained. The nearest shop is in St Helens,... More

We are so pleased you enjoyed your one night with us. We try to provide good clean beachside family accommodation that is easy to live in. Most guests that have the one night stay usually return for a few more days to either relax and unwind or to explore the area. Hope you get to return one day. More
