Mackerel Islands Accommodation

Stay on your own private island! If you've ever wanted to experience the seclusion of having an island all to yourself, Direction Island, nestled within its own coral reef, is a sun-drenched, sandy jewel where you can swim, snorkel, kayak, fish, go on beach walks and spot whales from the shore. A sole beach shack perched on the beach sand, surrounded by seashells and brush, is the only structure on the island. Rustic and simple, it is self-contained with all the home comforts you need to experience having an island all to yourself. You can play Castaway with up to 8 friends or family on this little island gem. The bedding includes 2 queen beds and 2 bunk beds. Although the sole beach shack isn't air-conditioned it is well-ventilated and has ceiling fans in each of the rooms. There is a fully equipped kitchen (including a fridge/freezer, separate deep freezer, stove top, oven and kettle), dining area, two bedrooms, private outdoor bathroom, shaded outdoor entertaining area with a Weber barbecue and an upstairs balcony deck with 180-degree views over the island and Indian Ocean. The shack is not serviced so is self-clean, and cleaning supplies are provided.
