Wonderful spot

We had a lovely stay at Kali Cottage. It is a great spot nestled under the escarpment with views to the sea and the bush. We had everything we needed and we enjoyed the fire. Thirroul is a short drive away with shops etc. We had a lovely meal at South Sailor and also at the Imperial Hotel in Clifton, another short drive away. Walks in the Royal National Park are not far away and the Sea Cliff Bridge is a short drive away and an easy walk across the bridge. A lovely quiet location and our host Jo was great. Thank you.

Perfect for a serene getaway

We chose this accommodation for it's quiet location and beautiful ocean views. Perfect for a peaceful getaway with family or friends. The property is tucked away, yet still conveniently located and in close proximity to beaches, shops and cafes. We have not visited this region in decades. The beach strip is now bustling and very hectic, especially during weekends, so it was great to be able to zip up into the hills to relax in our peaceful accommodation, which was clean and cosy, with a very well-equipped modern kitchen. Check-in was a breeze and communication with the host was efficient. We would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to our host!
