About this property

Arcadia By the Sea @ Bateau Bay

Located on the beautiful Central Coast, just 1 hour and 20 minutes north of Sydney CBD, Arcadia Bateau Bay is an inviting home available for short‑term, weekend, or holiday rental. Positioned in a quiet street just off the main road, the home offers peaceful surrounds while still being within easy walking distance to cafés, local restaurants and takeaways, the Bowling Club, Tuggerah Lakes Golf Club, Shelly Beach Surf Club & Café, and nearby camping grounds.

Spend your days enjoying coastal walks, swimming, snorkelling, fishing, or catching waves at the patrolled Shelly Beach, or unwind at the quieter local Bateau Bay Beach. Wyrrabalong National Park is only a few minutes’ drive—or a scenic 13‑minute walk uphill—and is renowned for its spectacular coastline, whale watching, surfing, fishing, bushwalking, and birdwatching.

For exploring further afield, Terrigal (famous for its bars and restaurants) and The Entrance (popular for family entertainment) are both within a 15‑minute drive. Bateau Bay Square, just 5 minutes away, offers Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and a wide variety of specialty shops.

This renovated, single‑level 1950s‑style beach house is light‑filled and free‑flowing, offering relaxed coastal comfort. The home features three bedrooms, with two queen beds and one double bed, plus a double sofa bed in the second bedroom for flexible sleeping arrangements.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances, including a dishwasher and complete cooking facilities. The washing machine is conveniently located within the bathroom, and an additional outdoor shower with hot and cold water is perfect after a beach day.

At the rear of the home, a sun‑drenched verandah with an 8‑seater dining table opens onto a large entertaining deck featuring a comfortable outdoor sofa. This space flows directly into an extensive, tropical, private backyard, creating a peaceful and serene outdoor retreat.

Features:
- Single‑level, light‑filled 1950s‑style beach house

Arcadia Bateau Bay offers the perfect balance of tranquility, comfort, and convenience—an ideal base for your Central Coast escape.


Location:
Bateau Bay is a beautiful and popular beachside village of the Central Coast. Pack your swimmers, a surfboard and a towel and make your way to Bateau Bay Beach to swim, surf, snorkel or relax in the sun. Stop by the northern end of the beach to enjoy a family picnic or rest beneath the shady trees of the Bateau Bay Beach picnic area.

Soak up stunning views of The Entrance, Tuggerah Lake and beyond from Crackneck Point Lookout. Watch talented surfers ride the waves of Shelly Beach or look for whales passing by during their annual migration between June and November. From here you can make your way along the beautiful Coast Walking Track, amongst coastal wildflowers, orchids and flannel flowers.

The nearby Wyrrabalong National Park is a great way to further explore the beauty of Bateau Bay. Dramatic cliffs rise and fall along the scenic walking routes. Spend time birdwatching or follow the trail through the cool coastal rainforest within the park.

Enjoy a family day out at Bateau Bay Ten Pin Bowl or dine at one of the towns restaurants. Sample the flavours of the many restaurants & cafes and while you are there make sure to visit some of Bateau Bay's boutique stores in Bateau Bay Square.

Great stay! There was confusion regarding the little house at the back and considering no curtains in the dining area it was very hard to get comfortable eating breakfast or any meal with the thought of someone watching. Other than that concern it was an amazing stay.
