Dog friendly family beach home - The Good Life

The house is a perfect getaway for couples or families and because it's our second home, we continually make improvements to make sure it has all the home comforts necessary to provide the perfect holiday experience.

It boasts a fantastic front deck where you can sit for hours mesmerised by the swaying gum trees, watching the birds, and taking time out to reconnect or reflect. Together with the private back deck, there's plenty of comfortable seating options to follow the sun, or shade, and for everyone to find a quiet space.

In the main living area, we have two handcrafted 3-seater lounges from Bali, two retro, recently reupholstered armchairs and a 48" smart TV with free Netflix.

As we love to cook, the kitchen is very well equipped and includes an oven with an air fryer facility and a dish drawer dishwasher to cut down on those cooking chores! For your family meals, we have a dining table inside and an outdoor setting on the front deck, both seating up to 8 people.

Downstairs we have a separate TV area for the kids, so you can keep upstairs quiet and calm for the grown-ups! This is right next to the bunk room and a laundry shower room, and also houses a 1.6m high glass-fronted drinks fridge, so you'll always have enough fridge space for your holiday!

We also have a desk area downstairs in case you want to extend your holiday and work remotely. We have the maximum NBN Internet plan we can get for this area, with approximate speeds of 50 mbps download, 17 mbps upload.

We welcome up to two medium-sized, well-behaved dogs per booking and as our garden (like most gardens in Bawley) is unfenced, we find that guests prefer to leave their dogs on the front deck - with ample shade - if they have to go out.

As the house is in a cul-de-sac, there is hardly any traffic and our visitors' kids often hang out on their bikes or kick a footie on the road or in the nature reserve opposite.

On the subject of nature, we've seen dolphins, penguins and stingrays in the waters at Bawley; and had kangaroos quietly eating grass in front of the house - disturbed only by the kookaburras laughing at them!

To sum up, we all sleep better at Bawley and each time we go it is harder and harder to leave. We call it the 'Bawley Valium' that hits you soon after you arrive...

TOP TIP: Sleep with the blinds open in the king and queen bedrooms so you wake up to the awesome views!

Check-in is as of 4pm and check-out has recently been extended to 11am, so that you don't have to rush when packing up!

Occasionally we can offer an early check-in or late check-out, but please ask at least 48 hours in advance so we can check with our cleaner.

PS - Please no cats, afraid one of us is allergic.
