About this property

DOLPHIN LOOKOUT COTTAGE Overlooking Binalong Bay

Dolphin Lookout has prime position perched above the village of Binalong Bay, with sweeping views along the famous Bay of Fires coast to Eddystone lighthouse. Surrounded by native bushes and birds, the view from all angles is simply stunning. All comforts are provided, from CD/iPod/MP3 stereo, DVD, microwave, quality coffee machine, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful hand-crafted oak dining table, designer chairs, and quality commercially laundered linen. With three bedrooms, you can fit up to three couples comfortably, or alternatively, enjoy a cozy, luxury stay for one couple. You could sit here all day admiring the lookout and watching for dolphins, or take off for many walks and adventures in the local area. FREE HI SPEED WIFI NOW AVAILABLE.

We have made some recent renovations to make Dolphin Lookout even better. The master bedroom now has its own tiled ensuite bathroom. There has been a large modern main bathroom built, so the property now boasts two bathrooms. Not only that but all three bedrooms have been recarpeted, and two are fitted with brand new beds, and bedside tables. The third bedroom has been enlarged.

We have just fitted a modern full size fridge freezer - and there is a small freezer also available. A nice extractor fan is a new addition to the kitchen as well. Just to make things even more comfortable.

NEW DECK
Best of all - we have enlarged the deck - with comfortable outside quality furniture for your enjoyment. From the deck you have wonderful panoramic views right from Grants Lagoon, Binalong Bay Beach, as well as the whole of the Bay of Fires - right up to Eddystone lighthouse. With native plants growing right up to the deck, the birdlife is amazing. And it is all very private and exclusive to you.

THE VICINITY

Dolphin cottage sits just above the white sand beaches and red rocks of Binalong Bay. Combining a sense of remoteness with access to nearby amenities in St Helens, with its supermarkets, charming bric a brac and antique shops, and the best fresh fish on the East coast. Further afield are Pyangana cheese factory next to the famous Pub in the Paddock, impressive waterfalls in lush rainforests, the historical tin mining site with world class mountain bike trails, the Eddystone Point lighthouse, the spectacular 'Gardens' - rocky outcrops of the Bay of Fires - and a myriad of beaches, inlets and lagoons to explore.

You can even walk down to the nearby "Gulch" and take a boat ride with Bay of Fires Eco Tours, which will have you looking at dolphins, whales in season, and seals, as well as the famous isolated Bay of Fires - best seen in its entirety from the water. Or walk to Merestä Eatery, less than 50 meters down the hill and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner - or even takeaway - to enjoy back on the deck.

Amazing views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxed stay. Quiet and peaceful! The view from the living area, masterbed room and especially the deck was stunning! A very easy walk to the beach and a short drive to St Helens. It was wonderful to have the electric blankets on the beds as it got very cool on one of the nights. We would definitely recommend Dolphin Lookout Cottage to anyone!

My sister, my 83 year old mother and I stayed at Dolphin Lookout for a couple of days and honestly, we all wished it had been for a week! Superb location, great accomodation (everything we needed, well laid out and accessible for an elderly person) and really friendly management and locals. We had a ball and will be returning.

A wonderful Easter break
This property was the perfect place to stay over the Easter long weekend with our friends. The perfect amount of space for two young children to run around (and enjoy an Easter egg hunt!) and a safe deck area with the most amazing view. A wonderful location with a close walk to the beach.

Beautiful location, very comfortable cottage
Very impressive location and a very comfortable cottage with the perfect outlook to take advantage of the view. Loved the big deck and took advantage of it throughout our stay. Walking distance to the beach. A sit-down restaurant 3 minutes walk at the bottom of the hill has delicious food. Short drive to St Helens, some lovely bush walks and other attractions, including the oyster processing plant at Lease 65. We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay.
