Thorton bungalows was house that I loved the most. It is just 2 mins away from the beach. The place has no cafes open at night and there isn't any air con available. We thought this would be an issue but the place was quiet cool enough. The owner told us in advance that food would not be available and that we should consider buying food for bbq before catching the ferry. We could travel in our little hatch to the place and a 4wd was not necessary at all. Me and my partner connected the most in this place as we had some barbeque and some time out in the verandah. There are insects that come at you when standing outside but nothing that is unbearable. The owner also let us know about some spots to visit. We thought it was a great idea to stay the night there as we could do the drive to the walking areas and explore the place on the day we arrived and we spent the next day going to the most beautiful and clear swimming hole.
