Memorable stay!
An enjoyable stay on an incredible island. Sacha was really easy to communicate with. There were some issues with power which thankfully only manifested themselves the day we were checking out. The place comes with 500mb of reliable satellite internet but Sacha can buy more for a fee. The house is separated into two buildings: one building houses the two bedrooms, the other houses the kitchen, dining/living space, and the bathroom. The house can get very warm on hot days but thankfully there is a large fan in the living space. I would recommend Sacha gets two more for each of the bedrooms.
Do head over to the Palana boat ramp (search for it on Google maps) for a nice spot to go fishing and swimming. There's a dock there too with a ladder which allows for direct access to the water, perfect if you're like me and hate sand! The water is a beautiful colour, similar to the bay of fires area but much warmer. A word of warning in terms of car rentals: you need a 4wd to see a lot of the island but there doesn't seem to be an option for tourists to rent one. Perhaps talk to Sacha for advice on this. We rented from the main car rental place and ended up with a crappy Toyota Corolla that got stuck on a simple dirt road resulting in a 150 dollar fine. Buy your supplies before you come up as the beach house is far from the main grocery store.
Don't hesitate to book a stay here, it will be memorable!
