Cast-away is available all year round and is pet-friendly for small dog. Throw in your towel, sheets and grab some food supplies along the way and your set for a laid-back seaside holiday experience. The Cast-away \'board-walk\' provides convenient access to the beach pathway opposite and onto beautiful Macmasters Beach. While the kettle\'s boiling for that morning cuppa, you can check out the surf and beach from the path access opposite our boardwalk. It\'s that close!
Cast-away is a pole beach-house, set amongst beautiful sheltering trees. Cast-away comprises 1 queen bedroom, 1 double bedroom, and a 3rd bedroom with 2 single beds and a trundle bed. The bathroom and an additional powder room are both recently renovated and include shower, 2 toilets and 2 vanities.
Cast-away has an enormous rear timber deck with semi roof covering for weather protection. This deck is sheltered and protected and provides a \'birds-eye\' view of the local wildlife with babylarks nesting on nearby tree branches, lorikeets, bower birds displaying their finest and bush turkeys visiting. This deck is perfect for bar-b-ques and outdoor dining (table seating for 8-10) and for catching up with some quiet reading times away from the hectic pace of a day of beach and surfing. There is also a second covered deck off the boardwalk providing a lovely sunny morning aspect (perfect for the early morning cuppa) and another great afternoon reading spot.
The separate kitchen comprises of microwave, oven and stove top, large upside down fridge/freezer and looks out over the trees and duck ponds. It is very well equipped with everything you need for your dining.
There is a large and very comfortable open-plan lounge with TV, DVD and video and the dining area (table seats 4-6) opening to the large rear tree-top deck. Plenty of dvds, reading material, magazines and games are provided.
There is a 2nd beach shower for a rinse off after a day at the beach, a separate laundry, outdoor furniture on both decks, gas bar-b-que, convenient undercover parking for 2 cars and a great large concreted driveway-play area for kids on bikes/scooters.
You can fall straight into the surf from the beach path opposite, swim at patrolled Macmasters Beach and its beautiful rockpools, have a quiet paddle at Cockrone Lagoon (a 2 min stroll), enjoy breakfast at the beach-side cafes, surf the perfect wave breaks and explore the rockpools at Copacabana Beach, choose a spot anywhere along the beach for beach fishing - or just do all of them!
