Location only half an hour from Rosslyn Bay. Blue water and white sand, an irresistible combination. Tranquil and serene. Beautiful beaches and walks. I thoroughly enjoyed an overnight stay. Was…
Geoff was a lovely and friendly host, always with a smile. Didn't matter if i saw him from returning from sunrise swimming or when we ate with him. GKI is…
There was a camp kitchen available, but the cleaning was not up to scratch so i wouldn't use it.
It is a bit of a culture shock if you haven't done you homework, don't expect 2,3,4 or 5 stars.
It is more of a 'back packer' style accommodation.
The location is great, easy to the beach and cafe.
The only food available was the Hideaway cafe, which had a very basic menu, and the food varied dramatically depending on which cook was on.
There is no bottle shop on the Island, so the cafe is the only option for drinks.
Would i come here again, Yes, but i would definitely be more organized and arrive on the morning ferry and only stay one night and leave on the afternoon ferry.
The cottage is functional and well equipped. There is some wildlife walking by and plenty of birds to watch and hear.
The nicest beaches and great reefs are in walking distance and offer great swimming, playing in the sand and snorkeling.
We felt very welcome and well cared for during our stay and we can only recommend this establishment.
Thanks everyone for giving us such a good time!
We were impressed by how clean and organized everything was. The team was constantly ensuring the facilities were spotless and well-maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable. On top of that, we loved having access to the snorkeling gear—it added an extra layer of fun to our experience.
We were invited to join yoga classes, share meals, go to the beach in their cars, and so much more. It truly felt like being part of a little community rather than just a guest. We made friendships with the volunteers and shared beautiful moments together.
The level of care and hospitality from the entire team was exceptional, and we left with nothing but gratitude. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Without a doubt, I’ll be recommending this place to everyone.
Thank you for such a magical experience!
