Pumpkin Island

Experience the perfect beach holiday when you stay in Oyster Box Cottage, fully self-contained and situated in one of the most beautiful places on the island, also close to the action for fishing, swimming, snorkelling or shucking tasty oysters you’ll find growing on the rocks.

Relax and take in stunning ocean views from the spacious deck, or grab your mask and snorkel, then wander down to the water to discover an amazing underwater world of beautiful coloured corals and incredible array of fish – all right on your doorstep. The adventure of kayaking may tempt you – or just a lazy paddle on the main beach.

Then as you enjoy a magnificent sunset on yet another fabulous day on this island paradise, you’ll appreciate why Pumpkin Island truly is a hidden gem.

An unhurried pace is your opportunity to unwind and enjoy nature plus time out.

The holiday you’ve always dreamed of.

Your peaceful island ‘home’, fully self-contained Coco Pine Cottage is located between beautiful Norfolk Pines and Coconut trees, an incredible place to be, as the wind gently whispers through the branches of the pines and waves gently lap against the water’s edge.

The comfy surrounds and spacious deck overlooking the stunning Pacific Ocean all encourage you to take it easy. You feel yourself slowing down and seem to be spending more time gazing at the sparkling water.

Of course, there’s stand-up paddle boarding, discovering the rockpools at low tide, kayaking and snorkelling should the mood take you, or simply swinging in a hammock on the sand, watching the view.

Wander down to the Sunset Lounge to delight in the colour show as the sun disappears behind the coastline, afterwards, head back to Coco Pine and perhaps prepare a barbeque dinner, then ready for a blissful night’s sleep.

Next day, repeat and enjoy. Love the island life.
