Bay Outlook

This unique place has a style all its own. From its recycled timber floors to its walls of diverse art. It's all about the views from every room in all directions. Positioned at the end of the point in the middle of the bay you feel surrounded by sea views. A steep meandering path leads to the sea where swimming or the kayaks allow you to explore the bay. Come with all the provisions you need as you'll not want to leave once here, even if it's merely a 15 minute scenic drive to town
