The room was awesome, with a view on the pool and the ocean, it gave us the perfect relaxed holiday vibe. We even got a late check-out till 5 pm for free which resulted in a well needed hot shower after a sweaty walk to spot koala's nearby. Contact with Adam whent smoothless by sms and an envelop ready to pick up the key whenever we wanted.

True North is oozing with character, comfort and amazing cooked breakfasts. Deb is friendly and being a local gives great advice. It is a short walk from stunning beaches, pub and eateries. Transport around the island is cheap and keeps great time making the island easily accessible. It is close to walks with breath taking views and history. What’s not to love!

The place was so clean! It felt so fancy and absolutely loved the plunge pool which also had a TV and mini fridge down stairs with it. The staff were so welcoming but also just gave us our space. Location was perfect, easy walk to restaurants and clothes shops, bottle shops and the beach. Close to the ferry terminal and bus stops to be able to access the whole island. The beds were comfortable! There were really no negatives, I can't wait to stay again!

Loved the area.

Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

I had a wonderful stay at Rob & Jen's! The room was spotless, had everything I needed and was so spacious. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. The resort is in a great location, just a 2 min walk from Picnic Bay beach, restaurants and cafes and the bus stop if you need it. Rob had great tips about the island and gave me some great recommendations for hikes, beaches and restaurants. Wonderful customer service!
