Guest Reviews

• Oleg (10/5): A wonderful and peaceful escape from the everyday - Absolutely unique architecture and exquisite, edgy and eclectic interior design in a fabulous natural setting. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
• Jane (8/5): -
• hugh (8/5): Funky great went to 2 wineries and the Gables for dinner - Breakfast was terrific Loved the preserves Sour dough bread A foot basin outside the doors to rinse feet of sand
• Leigh (10/5): - Elegant seclusion and friendly helpful staff.
• Nicci (10/5): I’ve stayed here twice now and I’ll definitely be back. It’s my happy place. - The quirkiness a the seclusion. And the chickens.
• Sara (10/5): Incredible beachy jungle escape with a really cool unique property! - Incredible location and a really cool, unique property layout. So perfect for indoor/outdoor living. Like the best ever version of glamping! Loved the bed with big windows and LOVED the shower. So nice to have a few homemade and local brekkie items provided as well! Also loved the paddle boards! A few cobwebs gathering in the corners.
• Nick (10/5): Fantastic and unusual property which was both practical and romantic. Shelly the property manager was superb. - Private, funky, comfortable with all amenities provided for a great stay. Super location close to Russell and just steps to a gorgeous beach. Nothing.
• Victoria (10/5): -
• Kjalivingthedream (9/5): Quirky, quiet and peaceful. - It was an idyllic get away. Peaceful and quiet. The difficult drive at night to get there.
• Bruce (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast well done .peace and quiet,and birdsong Maybe no rain
• David (9/5): Private, quite and secluded, stunning small beach with easy access. - Very private with easy beach access. Lovely native bush surrounding the property, creating privacy. Well equipped kitchenette. Yummy and thoughtful breakfast and other food items supplied. Easy check in and host coms. Very quirky, but that was very appealing. Awesome sunrises over pristine blue water. Highly recommend. Please note the beach is a nudist beach, we only encountered one other person during stay, so no biggie, but may have been nice to know should that offend. Would have liked rubbish, recycling removal on a daily basis and a quick clean of the leaves inside. Plus a check up on toping up of water, etc. Did say if the leaves got to you, call the host, but we figured a daily tidy of rubbish/recycle would see this happen - but no.
• Jeff (9/5): Its a magical facility and location. - Privacy and facilities allowed for a complete switch off and chance to relax. Be careful when getting down from the bed!
• Vlad (10/5): Exceptional - Great place!!!
• Malcolm (8/5): Quirky and very comfortable .Good location. - Very spacious and good location close to the beach. Very quiet. Quite quirky which was very nice after many hotel rooms. Very nice having our own space and to be able to use the BBQ and outside baths.Excellent shower and bathroom. Open plan toilet needed some getting used to!
• Heather (9/5): Little Donkey Bay is an exquisite, ecclectic, private haven. - The treetops location was outstanding. The overall ambiance of the sea and the birdsong was both special and romantic. We would have preferred to see high quality locally produced toiletries and bathroom supplies to enhance the unique nature of this property.
