The staff is so friendly and helpful. A perfect location, just near the beach and at the same time in the middle of... More

My son and I came to visit the Terry's place again in March 2013.

One of my all-time new favourite places. If I say that Lookout Inn is a must-do, I'm afraid it will be all booked up next time we want to go. But, IT IS FABULOUS. We stayed in the Butterfly Suite for 3 nights in March, and wish we'd had even more time there. It's a delightful lodge, a sanctuary amongst... More
