Minor maintenance issue with a tap

Very quiet location. The few people we met were very friendly. Beachfront location, looking out over a beautiful bay. Nice lawns and gardens. Comfortable cabin. For readers of this review, be mindful there is no local shop. Host was very friendly and thoughtful. For us this place was a great place to stay.

The accommodation, like King Island itself, felt a little run down and neglected in a gentile sort of way. This was not especially distressing to us, in fact it felt quite quaint, however, there were a few minor discomforts as a result. The recycling and rubbish bins were full to the brim. It was hard to get our waste in. The cabin was comfortable but just a bit worn out in presentation. For example the carpets had seen better days. The kitchen and bedroom were clean and sufficed for our needs. The TV had only one channel available. (Maybe that's true on much of the island, I don't know.) The main entrance lacked a screen door so could not be left open for extra ventilation as there are flies and mozzies. The soap vessel in the shower and the toilet paper had not been replenished, however a phone call to the service lady fixed this quickly. There was only one coffee sachet supplied. Plenty of teabags though. The accommodation is shown as having a restaurant. In fact it looked rather good but seems now to be permanently closed, hence the nearest food available is in Grassy or Currie. Not short trips and at night, very risky for local fauna and ones rental car. In fact we were horrified at the carnage on the roads and whilst I am usually not conservative about speed limits, I felt that the 100 ought to be reduced to 80 on most of the roads. I rarely drove over 80 in the 6 days. Perhaps the worst thing for me (though my wife wasn't bothered) was that in the land close behind our cabin there was a workman with an excavator shovelling soil. Every time he backed up (frequently) the inevitable reverse squeaking indicator sounded. This was frequent and random and lasted for the entire 6 days, often in the evening and on public holidays too. I suppose we were unlucky and this will cease after a while.

The position and environment were superb. The cabin was comfortable enough but see below. The staff responded helpfully throughout, even though the manager was away overseas. It was very peaceful and afforded us the isolation we sought. There was some wildlife around. We would stay again despite (maybe even because of) the negatives outlined below.

It was a little old and needed some maintenance.

It was by the ocean. Fully self contained.

Bed was very comfortable, the shower had good water pressure with plenty of hot water and the unit was clean. Everything worked and was perfect for my overnight stay.

The lounge chair was too far away from the TV. need a bigger TV.

We did not get any breakfast, none were provided.

Nothing to complain about but Wi-Fi would have been good.

Excellent accommodation for the price and great staff.

Nothing to complain about. Wi-Fi would have been good, but it wasn't a deal breaker.

Excellent location and excellent customer service.

Nice, clean, affordable accommodation with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Located opposite the beach. Owners were friendly & helpful. I'd stay there again.

No local cafes or shops.

I stayed in one of the four cottages on site. It's perfect for a solo traveller like myself or for a couple. Fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed with nice linen and it is spotlessly clean. The room and property surrounds might be basic and a little outdated, but it adds to the ambience of the serenity and isolation of the area. It's disappointing the restaurant has closed down (apparently will reopen for summer 2023) because there's nowhere else to eat in Naracoopa; you'll need to head to Grassy or Currie but they're only around 15-20 minutes drive away (26km). The stars at night are incredible and it's so nice to hear the waves at the beach from the room.

Cabins are quite dated and could do with some upgrading or maintenance.

Located right across from the beach.

The restaurant and cafe were not open but that I assume is an effect of COVID. Im sure it will get back on its feet again

Fantastic location

Location is superb. Naracoopa is quiet and beautiful and the accommodation is about 30m from the beach.

The manager, Heather, was friendly, helpful and provided lots of local suggestions. Cottages were well equipped & very clean.

Stayed in February 2024

Shower was in bathtub, very limited space, extremely hard to adjust water temperature (got hot and cold all the time). TV not working at all. No air conditioner as advertised.

The view and quietness.

Buildings are a bit dated as are the furnishings but the amenities and location more than make up for this.

Location was perfect with unobstructed beach views from your window (the beach was only across the road!!!) The cabin had everything you could need and then some...even matches and candles! Fully functional kitchenette and thick soft towels in the bathroom. Bedding was excellent, including the sofa bed. Manager was only too helpful and friendly. If you're looking for a good price, quiet, low key location you've come to the right place.

The front door did not lock, the key was stuck in the front door, I wasn't offered another room. The shower had black mould in the grout - I did not use the shower. the decking out the front was in poor condition, I believe the welcome mat was hiding broken boards as it dipped when standing on it. The paint was pealing both inside and out. There is no a/c, nor central heating. The small fan heater was pathetic. Only 2 forks in the kitchen and no milk for coffee/tea. For approx. $150 per night - not good value nor did I get a discount for having a broken front door.

I liked the roof over my head instead of sleeping in my car

Shower curtain sticking to legs, could replace with screen.
