Satellite Island

The magical tentacles that welcome you upon arrival, whether by sea plane or boat, set the stage for an experience that is nothing short of incredible. Richard, the island guardian extraordinaire & head enhancer of experience, greets you via boat and the journey begins. His efforts transcend mere caretaking; they shape an experience where the island becomes not just a destination but a part of your own holiday nostalgia. 

People have often asked, ‘what I do on a small island for 5 nights’?

Well my first trip did start with 3 and I realised then that just was not long enough.

As it is self-catering, Cooking becomes a rhythmic part of the island's heartbeat, a familiar pulse that sets the tone for the days ahead. Then the activities are endless and each time I leave thinking I could have done more things. Not to say a cracking pace is set, time is fluid there, set to the rhythm of sun.

Here’s a list of some of the many things I may do or have done on the island: painting, shucking oysters off the rock shelf, fossil hunting, adventuring at different times over the island, lunch settings in various spots, bonfires, dancing, watching the moon rise & the sun set, rambling, swimming, , pilates, seaweed pressing, building a pirates hut from driftwood (stayed up for  a few years!!), paintmaking from earth & seashore finds, botanical specimen collecting, photographing, romping, birdwatching, paddleboarding, rpwing The Pearl, outdoor hot tub soaking, long lunches, stargazing, dolphin interacting, foraging & general mucking about.
