The location was absolutely awesome! We lit the fire pit and relaxed outside under the stars. The Bungalow is such a beautiful place - we will be back for sure.

Damien Australia

We loved stayed at Goat Island Bungalow. The self-contained cottage was 5 star in comfort and luxury. Being able to sit out the back and watch the ocean was so very relaxing. All kitchenware was provided and it was easy to access local shops for groceries. Thank you to our host for this amazing stay.

Caithe Australia

stunning location, beautiful cottage with high quality amenities and so very comfortable. the view of the water from the cottage and garden with chimnea. It was all wonderful.

Lisa Australia

The bungalow was immaculately presented and so many wonderful touches- including bathroom supplies and milk!

Jessica Australia

perfect location, with sea views. wonderful outdoor undercover space and small but gorgeous native garden; responsive hosts when I asked a question. the kitchen was so well appointed and even had an oven (not just a microwave or hotplates!). The bathroom was spotless and had a luxurious deep bath. Loved it and could have stayed longer.

Jenny Australia

We enjoyed, the location and the cleanliness of the property .

Vicki Australia

location to beach, stunning natural environment, modern comfortable home with sea views and penguins at night

Katrina Australia

If you're looking for a little bit of peace and away from main town hustle and bustle this is the place. Goat Island is fabulous, right on the water with views to die for. But best of all it's quiet and everything you need is here at your finger tips. Coffee machine and pods were supplied. Board games, TV comfy beds, etc. The bathroom is luxurious and perfect for a romantic get away. Sadly I was travelling solo for work but I loved being able to chill out and relax in the perfect environment after a hectic day.

Michelle Australia

Location was great, nice an quiet, beds were comfortable it was a very nice stay, it would of been great if we could walk to the water from the back yard, but we only needed to walk up the road. We all enjoyed our stay.

Stephanie Australia

The property was well equipt and value for money. Plenty of bonus extras

Goat Island Bungalow is centrally located in Ulverstone on the North West Coast. This beautiful location is perfect for exploring the pristine Cradle Coast Region. This quality accommodation is located on the scenic route between Ulverstone and Penguin and is the perfect hub for both the tourist and business person alike. It has a stunning Northerly aspect overlooking the Iconic Goat Island Reserve, which is an explorers delight! Like many coastal towns on the North West coast we do have a train line running between the property and the beach. This is a slow goods train, generally runs past 4 times throughout the weekday/evening, only once or twice on the weekend. It is not noisy and does not have the horn blown unless the driver is warning a wallaby or fairy penguin.
I am an extremely busy single mother of 4 children, I have a great sense of humour and a passion and enthusiasm for all things life has to offer. I cannot live without my Amazing Friends, The Beach, Yoga, Wine and I guess I had better say my children!
The township of Ulverstone is only a few minutes drive and offers an abundance of restaurants/ cafe's, large supermarkets, bottle shops, parks/playgrounds and boutique shops that cater for all your shopping needs. The seaside town of Penguin is a short 5 min drive along the beautiful scenic route it offers a range of beautiful cafe's and has lovely boutique shops, The iconic Penguin market operates every Sunday 9am -3pm. Like many coastal towns on the North West coast we do have a train line running between the property and the beach. This is a slow goods train, generally runs past 4 times throughout the weekday/evening, only once on the weekend. It is not noisy and does not have the horn blown unless the driver is warning a wallaby or fairy penguin.
