Welcome to our little cabin in the forest! Fantail’s Nest was custom designed for this site with the goal of privacy and immersion in the forest. Designed to be ‘simple’ but with the quality comforts you enjoy on holiday. It’s warm and comfortable surrounded by a lovely bush. It has a very comfortable queen bed, sofa and kitchenette. The small kitchenette has a small oven, fridge and freezer, toaster, coffee plunger. Unlimited fast fibre Wifi available in cabin. Smart TV with Netflix. A very good cellphone coverage. Blockout blinds and curtains throughout for a better night’s sleep and privacy. The toilet is a composting toilet that uses sawdust and urine diverter. It is very easy to use and smell free when used appropriately. Just 2 mins drive to the beach and to town. Drive along the gravel driveway following the fantail’s nest sign and park your car up on the gravel carpark platform to the right of the cabin.
