Weekend Trip to Reefs Ocean Retreat

We were breifly greeted by Beth and Andrew as we were setting up camp and they were incredibly nice and welcoming - offering good advice on where to visit nearby and that we could sing out if we needed anything. Fairly open plan camping with ample space between sites and a quick walk down to the beach for us and the dogs to explore. Gets pretty windy so pack accordingly and you'll be laughing.

Weekend Trip to Reefs Ocean Retreat

My partner and I loved camping at Beth & Andrews land! There was plenty of room so we had lots of space to ourselves and then really appreciated the small walk to the beach which we basically had to ourselves the whole time! The jetty and pub were also a short walk away and there were Markets on near the Community Centre so we treated ourselves to some whiting tortillas from there! Absolutely loved our stay and had a fantastic time. Would return again for sure! Thankyou for having us Beth & Andrew 😊

Beth and Andrew were great hosts, very accommodating. Super spacious block and all other hipcampers were great too. Far enough from each camper that you couldn't hear them for the most part. There's a beach path which is a very quick walk to the back beach which is great too. Nice & close to the General Store also. Highly recommend
