Arakoola Studio was beautiful! My husband and I stayed there for 2 nights to celebrate his birthday. There are shops and restaurants nearby and we made the most of the peninsula activités whilst down ...there.
Sharlene was super responsive and kind enough to leave lights on as we arrived after dark.
The small details of the house are what made it so special and it’s clear a lot of love and thought has gone into it. Thank you!!

Dinner At The Epicurean Kitchen

Intimately lit with an emphasis on locally-sourced food and wine, we finished our dinner at The Epicurean Kitchen without room for one more bite. If you’re unsure of what to order, the staff will have plenty of ideas for whatever mood you’re in.
