Two sitting areas both with TV and water views. Cottage has a separate laundry area with a washer and dryer. There is a walkway down to the water (steep incline)."

"We have already recommended this amazing home to family visiting Freycinet next year. It’s far enough out of town (1 minute drive) to be super quiet and close enough to easily go for a great dinner at Geographe and to get supplies for the shops. A very quick drive to the Freycinet walks too. The house is incredibly clean and spacious and well appointed. And the view the Hazard mountain from the lounge and the deck are mind blowing. We will miss this place"
