Hidden Gem is all about adventure, chill vibes and making memories. This cute, historic cottage has been freshened up but still keeps that classic bach feel. It’s got amazing views over the coastal marine reserve, and if you’re lucky, you might see dolphins playing or even a whale or two. It sleeps up to seven, so it’s great for family getaways or hanging out with friends.

Stayed Mar 26, 2026This house met all our expectations and more. The view from the deck was amazing and we saw a humpback breach within the first hour of our arrival. During the rest of our stay we saw dolphins playing in the water many times.The layout of the house is interesting, with kitchen, dining and deck upstairs, as well as the kids bedroom directly off the kitchen and a double bedroom only accessible from the deck. No problem with the nice weather we had, but perhaps not great having to go through outside in the winter? House was very warm otherwise though, with a heat pump in the living room downstairs and heaters in all the bedrooms.Also appreciated the 2 tv's each with their own Chromecast (one in the dining upstairs and one in the living downstairs) and the fireplace outside.Great place for families and groups of friends to have an amazing time. The house is very private with no other houses around. Only downside of the location is the access from the road, where you have to cross the railway as well and it's hard to see traffic coming due to the corner.Would very much recommend and we'll certainly come back.

Stayed Sep 27, 2025The views were amazing! Fantastic for seal and dolphin watching. Beautiful sunrises. Only negative for us was the access which is initially steep over the railway track. We had a bike rack on the back of a ute and had to remove it to get over the first bit. A mention in the listing about this would have been helpful. Otherwise absolutely loved our days there.
