We stayed in the quiet and delightful upper floor apartment overlooking French Pass beach. We think Sea Safaris is a strong contender for World's Best B&B. We came for a couple of nights and stayed for a week. Generous and delicious breakfast and evening meals, with veggies from Lyn's own garden. Great welcome from Danny, nothing too much trouble. And we DIVED WITH DOLPHINS FOR FREE most days! They came into the bay and played around the swimmers for lengthy periods. The visibility was good and the dolphins stayed more than three hours one morning. We were sad to leave. French Pass is a special place.
