The warm north facing cabin contains all the essential items for your stay, including queen size beds where you can drift off to sleep to the call of the Morepork; an inside living space with a snug sitting area and a supply of books and games; and an outdoor deck where you can soak up the sights and sounds of coastal life, cook on the bbq, and chill out on the beanbags.
