This gorgeous character stone home was amongst the first original old reef stone cottages to be built on this picturesque coastline of (Yilki) Encounter Bay in the mid to late 1800's. Beautiful reef stone was sourced from the bay out in front of the home and you can feel the reef sea shell fossils embedded within the stone.
Originally built as three rooms with two stone fireplaces used to cook & warm the fishing folk. In the early 1900's local limestone was sourced to extend the home and in more recent times the home has been fully renovated and restored throughout while keeping many of the original features of the property.
