Lovely location and quirky house
The house had beautiful views across tryphena bay. The driveway was very challenging and our van couldn’t get up which was fine but it was difficult bringing the luggage up. Once there is was a quiet house and we had a great time. Would have been good to know the oven and dishwasher required the generator to be switched on but once we knew it was all good.

Great house, amazing views.
Loved it. Great location, though a 4WD is essential to get up the driveway to it we discovered. Owner very helpful. Its a character house that comes with a dishwasher! Perfect holiday spot.

Excellent accommodation
I booked The Lookout for my boss and his family for their holiday. He was very impressed with the property and said their stay was excellent. Along the way, when I had a question, Angela responded quickly and was always very clear in her answers so I could make the best decisions to ensure my boss and his family had a nice holiday. I was also impressed with the "Welcome to our Home" package Angela supplied which gave detailed information that was helpful during the stay. I would highly recommend this property. It was a great experience all along the way.

Stunning location with great privacy. The place is a place full of character and warmth.
Great stay with lots of additional activities to amuse us when not out and about exploring the island. The chickens, vege patch, games, music collection, books and jigsaws were great. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect spot for deep rejuvenation and melting into nature
Loved the The Lookout! So tastefully decorated in a very spacious home with an outlook to die for. Really enjoyed ourselves and despite some bad weather, we were able to enjoy ourselves indoors. Would love to return.
