Feedback from previous guests

Really enjoyed the week on Flinders Island, a truly magical place. The remoteness, the people, the meals and stories, the diamonds and company of Graeme and the group all added to make it a memorable week. Recommend this special jewel of Australia with Walkabout."

Debbie from Dubbo NSW, Australia [2024] Flinders Island

Memorable week. Wendy's hospitality made the stay at Cooma House most enjoyable. She is a fount of information about Flinders and her life in the islands. Time to start planning another adventure!"

My introduction to the wonders of Flinders Island was an interesting experience. The accommodation had a warm and homely atmosphere. Delicious meals from breakfast to dinner using local produce. Home baked bread, cakes and cookies too. The walks & company were great.

Judith from Camberwell, Australia [2023]

Good company, enjoyable walking, great accommodation and cuisine.

Caroline & David from St Peters, South Australia [2022]

We started with a fast trip from Melbourne to an Island that was bathed in sunlight and beautiful mountains and beaches. The accommodation was comfortable and the meals and stories that our host Wend provided were varied and interesting. Walks on the whole gave a taste of the variation of the Island and well guided by Graeme and Tom. Weather turned for one day but it did not hamper us greatly. All in all a great week of scenery and fellowship with the group, visiting a very interesting lush island.
