About this property

Rare Find - Absolute Waterfront Property

An ideal couples retreat with your own private entry and private sitting area.

Peaceful waterside studio, you're the only guests on the property, recently built, private entry, private outside sitting area, beachside shops, restaurants and cafes, safe swimming and surfing beach, fish and canoe from the property, all this within a stunning coastal area.

Golden Cane Couples Retreat is a very rare uninterrupted waterside accommodation property within the Woolgoolga beach area. The property has constant deepwater frontage unaffected by low tides at any time of the year.

More information
The space:

The studio is a very modern open plan consisting of living space, kitchenette, queen bed with ensuite.

Guest access:

An ideal couples retreat with your own private entry and private sitting area with views across the lake shoreline reserve.

Interaction with guests:

We are a quiet semi-retired professional couple who are happy to assist you during your stay and just as happy to leave you on your own to enjoy as you desire.

Other things to note:

The surrounding area offers so much to do.

Woolgoolga Lake is a small 'paddle only' saltwater estuary welcoming canoes and kayaks to explore the 3kms of waterways. You're welcome to bring your canoes, kayaks and SUP boards. There are alternative launching points around the property vicinity.

The beach is a very short 300m away via a footbridge over the peaceful lake waters and the town centre is only a further 300m. You can quite literally walk to all the Woolgoolga town centre, beach and lake offers without needing to drive from our central location at all.

Fishing is popular on the lake and beach as well as the adjoining beaches which offers anglers multiple options in all conditions.

Cycling paths and bush trails from the property lead to many coved beaches and headlands.

There's a market in the town beach reserve 3 out of 4 weekends.

Coffs Harbour is only 15mins drive away with all that a major regional town offers.

The neighbourhood is known as the premier residential addresses in Woolgoolga and we are situated in a cul-de-sac end of a very quiet no-through road. It's a very safe and friendly neighbourhood community.

More information
Getting around:

We are one of the very few homes in Woolgoolga that have absolute waterfront and one of closest to the beach. The studio is very sheltered from winds at all times of the year.

Our big plus is that you're so close to all Woolgoolga offers without need to jump in your car every time you want to do something. You can literally park your car when you arrive and then simply walk short distances to everything from beach to shops, restaurants to clubs for your entire stay.

Regular bus services depart from the town centre and operate along the entire Coffs Coast. There is local car rental in Woolgoolga.

While we do provide an inside twin stove-top and microwave for your convenience, there's an adjoining outside BBQ area with frypan hot burner, for any 'splatter cooking' which everybody loves to use, keeping the studio immaculately clean and fresh for all guests.

We parked the car and walked everywhere. The house is really close to the beach and coffee in Woolgoolga. Accommodation was clean and welcoming. The bed was so comfortable.

Woolgoolga Getaway
Garry's place is in a great location, very easy walking distance to the local Woolgoolga shops, beach and restaurants. The place was very clean and had most everything you needed for a weekend stay. Garry was informative about the area and local walks and made us aware of his availability at any time if required.

Woolgoolga stay
A very clean and tidy property with great positioning to walk to the town centre or the headland in the mornings. Very well appointed, supplied all linen and towels and tea and coffee, but no milk in the fridge. Garry was a very welcoming and friendly host.

Lovely property in a great location
This as new property is in a quiet location, minutes from the beach and cafes and right on the estuary from where you can do a lovely circuit walk along the estuary bank to the beach and village. (You can also get to the beach the 2 minute way too). The owners are lovely and very helpful and although they live on site, you have complete privacy and are left undisturbed. We highly recommend this property and would stay there again.

Great location, neat and tidy.
Very clean with well appointed kitchen and ameneties. The location is great, very quiet. The beach is close as described, we got up early to see the sunrise. Nice little touches - ducted air-con, dimmable lights, even an umbrella for rainy weather. We liked that there was a stick vacuum for a quick clean up.

Warm and Welcoming
Woolgoolga is a charming, relaxing holiday destination. Garry and Sandy's suite is perfect - immaculately clean and nicely positioned within easy walking distance of the beach and the town centre. On several occasions we enjoyed a pleasant evening walk to the local restaurants. Garry provides very helpful, local advice while ensuring you have a relaxed and private holiday.

Perfect location for a quiet getaway
We had a very relaxing time at this lovely property. Garry and Sandy were very welcoming hosts and the apartment has everything you need. Perfectly located for spending a few days exploring the coast north and south of Coffs and the hinterland. Walk at sunset on the beach not to be missed!
