The Wardroom (photos left) is a 4 1/2 star luxury retreat for couples or friends sharing. Hidden away amid pristine bushland with spectacular views of West Cape Howe National Park, coastal reserves, verdant farmlands and the southern ocean.

The cottage comprises two massive bedrooms both with King size beds (or one can be configured into 2 king single beds if preferred), a stunning bathroom tiled in Italian stone with a 2 person spa and huge rain shower. A total floorspace of 180sqm. The kitchen is a chef's delight with jarrah benchtops, stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher. A BBQ on the wrap around outdoor deck completes the picture for a truly memorable holiday.

(Why "The Wardroom"??? It's the officer's mess on board a ship. It provides a place of recreation as well as being a dining room. Wardrooms have rules governing etiquette: traditionally considered taboo is talking about politics, religion and professional business. It is also considered inappropriate to perform work or to meet with subordinates in a wardroom. It's a place to relax.

The well equipped kitchens in every cottage have all appliances - stove, microwave, full size fridge, toaster, kettle, crockery, cutlery, glassware and every cooking utensil imaginable - even a wok and picnic set. Coffee makers are also provided at Kings Den and The Wardroom.

All cottages have their own washing machine, private BBQ, hairdryer and a wood heater (except the Wardroom) for those chilly winter nights with plenty of wood supplied too. Kings Den, The Wardroom, Cakes n Ale and The Snug cottages also have reverse cycle airconditioning for perfect climate control.

Cakes 'n' Ale Cottage (photos right) is ideal for sharing with friends and is perched high with views over tree tops towards the coastal reserve.

It is a large 2 bedroom 4 star rated cottage (102sqm), well equipped with deluxe furnishings and polished timber floors.

It has a gourmet kitchen with dishwasher and large bright living area leading to a deck where you can enjoy a BBQ with the birds or do some serious star gazing.

(Why "Cakes 'n' Ale"??? It's an olde English saying thought to have been first used by Shakespeare. It means pleasure, comfort and prosperity. What more could you ask for?)

All cottages have clean modern bathrooms with bath and shower. Kings Den and The Wardroom both have 2 person spa baths for extra relaxing.

The Snug (photos left) oozes old world charm reminiscent of your Grandmother's house. It is spacious(80sqm)4 star rated with 2 bedrooms and fully equipped with quality furnishings and polished timber floors.

The verandah is just perfect for watching the sun set or enjoying a BBQ.

The Snug is set within it's own 1/2 acre of gardens and lawn surrounding the cottage - great for kicking a football or a spot of cricket, fully fenced for children's safety (and to keep the kangaroos from eating the garden plants!!)
