Experience a heartwarming opportunity to frolic in the sea with these gentle and playful creatures. Enjoy a glass of wine in the entertainment area overlooking Baird Bay as the sun sets. A dinghy and outboard is supplied with each unit. The Bay and its surrounds offers a range of quick holiday experiences such as swimming with Sea Lions and Dolphins, beach, boat or rock fishing, bush walking, bird watching and simply beachcombing on deserted beaches.
