We stayed one night at the Pipiroa Bay Homestay and felt right at home immediately upon meeting Paula and Gary. We were advised of restaurant recommendations, things to do in the area and upon our departure all of our questions were answered about the next leg of our journey.

The apartment is situated on a lovely quiet bay. Gary's garden down to the beach is beautiful. There is a wonderful hike you can do into the Russell townsite that is about 7 k away. Great place to relax and enjoy the sea.

Paula and Gary have made a wonderful place to get away from it all. The weather wasn't the best for boating but visitors must wander down through the garden to the estuary. The garden is obviously a labour of love. The guest area is spacious and very clean. Paula's art is on display on the walls. Paula and Gary were... More
