AustraliaI luv the beautiful grounds and timber look cottages, and distanced well enough apart for privacy. The Spa tub was great, totally enjoyed relaxing in there. Just a short walk to One Mile Beach which was absolutley beautiful on the day and just a short drive up to Anna Bay Shops for all conveniences such as a Pharmacy, Supermarket and a Tavern etc.

AustraliaLove the location of wanderers, it feels secluded but it's quite close to everything. Great owners. Love the wildlife that comes straight to the door.
Rachel

AustraliaLittle cabin surrounded by trees. Very short walk to beach, sand dunes and bush. Extremely friendly and helpful owners. Well stocked kitchen (cutlery, repellent) & bbq on deck. Very peaceful and quite. Now for the pit toilet.... we were dubious BUT looks like a real toilet, very clean and minimal smell if any. Do not let this put you off such a great relaxing and friendly place to stay.
