Back was everything promised. The view of McLeod’s Bay was a great surprise. The bird watching was great ; at least a dozen different birds all easily seen and id’ed. Evening star gazing and the properties over all solitude added greatly to our stay. Would definitely book this back again. Phill and Jan
