Cottage on the wetlands

Overall the cottage was lovely , we had a nice stay and it was very comfortable - the view onto the wetlands is very nice (lots of mozzies though) , bed seemed soft but was actually comfy. Could use some more bedside and main lamps - and more cups. Neighbour’s visitors parked in our spot one night then seemed ok !! Lots to do in area and great beaches !!
