Poised on the hillside above Frenchman's Rock, Miramar is an unpretentious four-bedroom holiday house, not exuding much architectural appeal but with plenty of space for a big family/group. A spacey deck out the front has boundless views. Sit, sip and watch the ferries come and go. Two-night minimum stay.
