Your holiday accommodation at William Bay Country Cottages is central to most of the attractions in and around Denmark. Mazzoletti Beach is accessible by a walk trail from your cottage and the wonderful William Bay, Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, Madfish Bay and Waterfall Beach are just a stone's throw further afield.
