The location was great! A quick walk to the beach and a short drive to some great walks and beaches.

Great location great staff amazing wildlife really just awesome I loved every min

A lovely peaceful stay in a two bedroom cabin with hot tub. Close to beach and shops not far away. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great location, quiet and intimate. Close to travel anywhere on the peninsular

I 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.

A beautiful location to stay, the room was wonderful sized and everything was really nice. Will be definitely be coming back!

Quiet secluded area with quaint well equipped cabins. Woke to magpies tapping on the door and singing! Supervised in the hot tub by a family of 3 possums! Delightful!

Love 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.

Little 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.

The location was a dream! The staff were very friendly and respected our privacy and the cabin was well made up
