Relaxed Coastal Getaway with Space for the Whole Family
Enjoy a comfortable stay at our modern coastal retreat, perfectly positioned for a laid-back beach holiday.
The beach is just a 2-minute drive away, with a nearby boat ramp only 7 minutes from the property, and a popular local swimming hole only 3 minutes away.
The home offers four well-appointed bedrooms, making it ideal for families and groups:
Master bedroom with a king bed and ensuite
One bedroom with two single beds
One bedroom with a double bed
One bedroom with a fold-out couch
Step outside to a spacious, sun-soaked deck with a peaceful native bush outlook — perfect for relaxing after a day on the water. For fishing enthusiasts, there’s a dedicated fish-filleting bench, plus plenty of room for a boat and ample off-street parking for cars.
Children will love the generous outdoor space to run and play, while nature lovers can enjoy nearby native bush walks. You’re also conveniently located just 10 minutes from Waimou Café, with a dairy and local pub only a 4-minute drive away.
A fantastic base for families, boaties, and anyone wanting to unwind in a beautiful natural setting.
