"The location was amazing set on a private beach, the owners very helpful and we were in one of the rooms that is over a 100 years old but has been modernised, but still keeps some of its yesteryear charm, so very unique and special."

“In Lochmara Bay, this resort is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience rooted in its waterfront location and century-old buildings. I found the holistic massage suite and access to the beach particularly compelling, alongside the personalized guest experiences. The fusion cuisine at the on-site café adds a locally sourced flavour to the overall appeal.”
