Copa Beachside

DESCRIPTION
It’s “The Beach House Meets Bali”, an idyllic oasis across the road from the lagoon and a 2 minute flat walk to the beach. Take the waterfront “short cut” and feed the ducks on the way.

PLEASE NOTE - PROPERTY NOT SUITABLE FOR SCHOOL LEAVERS

Looking like a beach hut from the front, the inside house opens like a well kept secret leading to a tropical courtyard. A large entertaining deck with shaded awning leads via a wooden walkway to a self contained studio, (pass the outdoor hot shower on the way) perfect for a parents retreat or for a “getaway” for couples with babies.

Surrounded by a canopy of trees featuring an orchestra of birdsong in the mornings, the outdoor hot shower, fans, barbeque and thoughtful decoration make this area the entertaining focus of the house. Private and spacious with the occasional bush turkey and possum strolling through.

The “big house” features an open plan design downstairs with a very functional, family oriented kitchen with amenities including dish washer, island bench and gas cooking. There is also a DVD player, double bedroom, laundry and downstairs bathroom with a spa bath.

Upstairs is a loft with queen bed and single bed, bathroom and 2separate bedrooms with balconies containg queen beds and a triple bunk bed. The studio features a sitting area, concealed kitchen, bathroom and queen bedroom.

Two nights minimum stay. 1 hour 20 minutes north of Sydney on the Central Coast between Avoca and MacMasters beaches.

Sorry, no groups aged under 25yrs and strictly NO hens' bucks' parties or major functions. Noise above normal enjoyment is unacceptable as we have permanent neighbours.

The property is continually updated and we have replaced the upstairs bathroom, renewed blinds in upstairs loft and bedroom, repolished the floors, repainted the decks, installed fans in the house and on the balcony, replaced the TV and installed a booster for better TV reception. Installed 2 water tanks for garden and general outdoor use. Added an extra bedroom with queen bed and triple bunks

Queen sized beds throughout, mini kitchen and full sized refrigerator in the studio. Bathrooms upstairs, downstairs and in studio.

Studio and house alarmed and backyard enclosed for children.

Clean car fanatic? Then wash your car in the drive with our tank water - feel good about your carbon footprint!

Location

The Copa shops are experiencing a mini “boom” – there is a new take away, in addition to a bakery, bottle shop, newsagency, hair salon and try the oysters at the “White Sands” restaurant. All of this is literally up the road around the bend – a maximum five minute walk.

No car needed here as the property is located on the lagoon side of Copa. The flat walk to Cochrane Lagoon and the surf of Copa or the adjoining beach of MacMaster's are accessed across the road. This area is also sheltered from stiff ocean breezes which means you can cross the road and feed the ducks at sunset in comfort.

Local Attractions

Surfing, swimming in lagoon across road or sheltered rock pools at Copa or MacMasters or simply stroll the sands.

Get fit walking the hill to Copa lookout and read extracts from Captain Cook's logbook on his travels in the area.

Need a nature fix? The area is surrounded by National Parks - stroll through trails to local beaches, view the ocean from high rock ledges.

By car, lots to see along the coastline, for example, south to Kincumber, have coffee and see the Arboretum at Pearl Beach or just wander tucked away bays.

The hourly ferry service from Ettalong or Wagstaff is bliss for when you need to get out of the sun. Brisbane Waters can also be wandered by small ferries. Rather fun to catch the ferry to Palm Beach from Wagstaff and do a "gal's" spot of shopping.

For the golfers who experience withdrawal symptoms - Gosford and Woy Woy courses will solve the problem and the driving range at Kincumber will give you a quick fix.

Gosford Regional Gallery at West Gosford has great Japanese Gardens, coffee shop and of course, gallery and gift shop. Gallery 460 near Kincumber has a gallery and huge sculpture park definitely worth a visit.

No shortage of restaurants - "Copa Sands" and 5 - 10 mins drive at Avoca and Terrigal. Fisherman's Wharf at Woy Woy is good for seafood and pelican feeding times are worth watching.

Movies at Kincumber. Avoca and Erina Fair. the restored Avoca Theatre is an attraction by itself.
