    Great weekend away. Super lovely property that felt very private. Everything was comfortable and clean and being able to sit out on the deck in the morning/afternoon sun was truly magical. Would definitely stay here again!

    Peaceful Location! Loved the comfortable Cabin, and the outdoor shower and toilet was fabulous, even in the middle of winter!

    The location was great, close to town but also feels hidden away. The outdoor shower toilet would probably be better for the summer times. We had a lovely stay, thanks. K & J

    The privacy, the location and the quietness. The immediate surroundings was beautiful and have given you total privacy and the feeling of there is no one else around. We loved it, it was out of the ordinary and yet it lucked nothing.

Welcome to our little cabin in the forest! Fantail’s Nest was custom designed for this site with the goal of privacy and immersion in the forest. Designed to be ‘simple’ but with the quality comforts you enjoy on holiday. It’s warm and comfortable surrounded by a lovely bush. It has a very comfortable queen bed, sofa and kitchenette. The small kitchenette has a small oven, fridge and freezer, toaster, coffee plunger. Unlimited fast fibre Wifi available in cabin. Smart TV with Netflix. A very good cellphone coverage. Blockout blinds and curtains throughout for a better night’s sleep and privacy. The toilet is a composting toilet that uses sawdust and urine diverter. It is very easy to use and smell free when used appropriately. Just 2 mins drive to the beach and to town. Drive along the gravel driveway following the fantail’s nest sign and park your car up on the gravel carpark platform to the right of the cabin.
