These are the most gorgeous villas, beautiful sunset view and a great tavern next door. Sadly we just past through but this is definitely a perfect holiday destination! I fell in love with the villa and the style was just perfect.

These cabins are super cute and peaceful. The decor is so simple and beautiful, really adds a nice touch. Loved that the kitchen had plates and utensils. The outdoor bbq was super handy also. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and loved our stay. Fishing at Mattys Flat Jetty was so nice! I would only stay here if I visit South West Rocks again!

So Peaceful
A beautiful villa with a stunning River outlook. West facing for the most magic sunsets. Saw dolphins, lots of birdlife. Well kept and beautiful grounds and the villa had everything we needed for out two night stay. A very short drive tot he beautiful beaches of SW rocks. Would definitely come back.

Lovely quiet environment, spacing between units was excellent with a lovely river frontage. Pool was a delight on the day that we scored sunshine. The kitchen was very well equipped. We were disappointed with the large divan/lounge seating, it was very uncomfortable, and could do with some ‘proper’ firm cushioning. The one arm chair was brilliant but the overhanging standard lamp a bit invasive. We aim to be back sometime in the future!

Lovey cabins
Nice cabins in a quiet location although I’d probably stay somewhere within walking distance to the town and beach next time.
Good facilities and would be great for families or groups
