My stay at The Overhang was truly really good. The location, nestled just 50m from the pristine shores, provided a peaceful escape from my daily routine. While the road to the hotel was a challenging beach sand off-road for the last 3KM, it was worth it for the amazing views and relaxing ambiance.

I had an really good stay at The Overhang. the location was simply amazing, with my Beach Tent just 50m from the shore. The food was good, but I did find the final stretch of road to the hotel a bit challenging, as it was a sandy off-road drive.
