About this property
On The Rocks - Whale Bay
This stunning property ticks all the boxes!! An entertainers delight with large open plan living areas, picture perfect views, architecturally designed to enhance sunlight and maximise warmth. Sit on the deck and immerse yourself in the surroundings, privacy and peacefulness.
The kitchen has full utensils, coffee plunger, food processor and electric blender.
Only metres from the surf offering fantastic views of Indicators surf break, this immaculate holiday home is ideal for couples or extended family and friends.
If you are looking for that "wow factor" holiday home you will not be disappointed.
Please note: Due to negligence from earlier guests, 2 of our front bifolds open towards view of the surf, the complete set does not open extensively. In saying this due to positioning of holiday home, it is most unlikely you would want to open up completely and will not make a difference to your stay in this lovely property.
