This was a once in a lifetime experience! The highlight being Skull Rock, a granite island only accessible by boat in the waters of Bass Strait. Its cave is a staggering 130m wide and 60m high. Photos don’t do this place justice, you have to see it to fully realise its magnificence and scale. The crew took their time pointing out wildlife and explaining rock cycles etc… it was extraordinary seeing the seals and how the pups are raised. We are grateful for this awesome day, particularly to the crew- Damien & Tiegen❤️

A beautiful secluded place set in wild gardens and woodland, it was well equipped and comfortable. The pool and sauna were lovely and really finished the whole experience. Would recommend as a great place to access the Prom and it is also very close to the lovely little town of Foster where everything you could need for your holiday is available.
1000% recommend! Amazing experience!
