Julie’s place is truly a little slice of heaven, I certainly didn’t want to leave. Having use of the vehicle was handy for us oldies, but I chatted to many hikers walking the Horseshoe Point track which commences just outside Julie’s place who had walked from Oban. Beds comfy, well equipped kitchen lounge roomy and comfortable, good size dining table and outdoor table to enjoy the spectacular view! The sunrise is amazing!! Looking forward to staying longer next time!
