"Absolutely loved Onslow Beach and the Osprey houses. We came for the weekend to spend with our son. During this trying time of Covid where the service men and women are quarantined to base during training this was important for our sons mental health. We were able to spend quiet time with him while enjoying the beautiful views and listening to the ocean. Beautiful pristine beaches and lovely houses. So glad these are available to our service men and women who work so hard to protect us." - Gary and Dawn
