Ellen Bay Cottages

We returned having visited in 2008 and 2012. I was worried it might have changed and have a McDonald at the end of the road. I needn't have, it was like going back in time. This is not 5 star resort accommodation. If you want that look elsewhere and pay accordingly and enjoy being surrounded by tourists. What I want from my holiday is a taste of the country and there is nowhere better to stay. I woke early and enjoyed watching the local fishermen get ready to depart for the day as you overlook the jetty. I sat on the verandah at night and listened to the tree frogs. The equipment is basic but I am a vegetarian and struggle to find anywhere to eat out. My partner is not and we managed stir fries, marinaded meat and generally did not miss what we have at home. The host is lovely - lives with that laid back style I wish I could adopt at home but if you need anything you just need to ask. Overall I would recommend this to anyone, hence the reason for me going for a third time. I have noticed in the reviews quite a lot of comments about the rooms downstairs. We have only ever stayed in room number 3. It is a family room with two bedrooms. It is perfect. I hope I get to go again.
