Binalong Bay is the most beautiful beach - white sands, turquoise waters - and did you notice when you walk on the sand it squeaks! Squeaky clean :)

Amazing location and cute house.

We had a fabulous stay here. I only wish it was for longer. You cannot beat the location of this cottage. Beautiful views, short walk directly across the road to the beach, and a great cafe next door for coffee and afternoon drinks/dinner. The house itself was very cute, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Highly recommend for a stay.
