Iain and Belinda (and pup Hannah) really live the life. Kayaking with dolphins, seals and penguins in Coles Bay, cycling, bushwalking, and hiking through and around Freycinet national park, and coming home each evening to a gorgeous contemporary home overlooking Oyster Bay? This is the dream. Lucky for us, they've built two free-standing studio apartments along with a two-bedroom beach house so we can all steal just a slice of their lifestyle.
With so many activities in the area, we barely spent anytime in the apartment, but the time we did spend was as close to perfection as gets for us. What it lacked in posh luxury it made up for in relaxing, comfortable, modern amenities. The design was stunning, the small kitchen was fully stocked, and the location was a perfect jumping off point for all of the area's activities.
Most of all, Iain and Belinda were such kind and accommodating hosts, we wanted them to adopt us. They stocked our larder both evenings with fresh breakfast supplies so we could be up with the birds, and we even bumped into them while kayaking in the bay. Skip the resorts - this is exactly the type of boutique, local accommodation that you're looking for - trust me. Two days was nowhere near enough.
