Private but moments from stunning Medlands beach. Got away from it all with no mobile reception or wifi (but some service on the beach if desperate). Thanks Dianne, we loved the Beach Hut.

Thanks Di for the wonderful stay. The beach hut was comfortable had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Di was very accommodating and check in/out was a breeze. A quick walk across the road to the beach, it was the perfect location for a Medlands getaway. We would absolutely stay here again.

Holiday at the beach
We loved our stay at this little beach cabin, it is clean and tidy and has all you need for a relaxing summer holiday at the beach. The location is perfect with a short walk across the road and over the sand dunes to the beach.

Island paradise :)
We had a wonderful stay at the beach hut, using tents on the flat lawn to accomodate our overflow of teens. Such a magical location with the beach and good surfing waves a hop, skip and a jump over the dunes. Dianne was a relaxed and friendly hostess who we enjoyed some nice chats with over our time there. It had everything we needed for a holiday to remember. Thanks Di!

Perfect Getaway
With just a small family of 3 we fit perfectly in this place, very clean, comfy beds, handy kitchenette and utensils, bathroom supplies complimentary, mini fridge, access to fishing gear and outdoor shower. Highly recommend this place because we will definitely be back. Dianne is so lovely and made sure we were ok and very easy to approach if we needed anything. Dont expect wifi or good reception on the island because it truely is a place for you to getaway from all those devices. The beach is a 3minute walk across the road and so beautiful to swim, walk/explore and fish.
