A 200m stroll to your choice of Bluey's Beach, Boomerang Beach or the local shops with great coffee!

Our stylish, casual beach house is the perfect setting for 2 young families to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the Pacific Palms area - or have it all to yourselves!

The central living area of the house has decks on either side, a casual eating area beside the kitchen, all overlooking a large lounge with dining for 10/12 people and comfy sofas around a woodfired stove. And glorious views!

The deck overlooking Bluey's Beach has a Weber BBQ, casual dining for 10 people, market umbrella and steamer chairs.

The two bedroom wings on either side of the central living area give each family quiet and privacy. One wing has 2 Queen beds, a bunk room and bathroom with separate WC. The other wing has 2 Queen beds, bathroom, and a small secondary kids TV area.

There is an entry deck onto lawns, outdoor shower and plenty of on-site parking.


We recommend Rita from R & D Linen if you wish to hire linen. She also has Nursery Equipment for hire - and for $5 per bed she will even make the beds for you!

Great location and large home
Great holiday home for our adult family. 150m- 200m to two different beaches and also to shops. We parked 2 cars on the driveway and 2 out the front. South facing aspect. We spent a lot of time on the verandah. Appreciated the supplied mosquito coils for our evening meals on the verandah. We made great use of the bbq and kitchen throughout the stay. Kitchen well set up with utensils, salad bowls, platters, glassware and plates. Home is split level and has steps, an important consideration for families with children or people with mobility issues. We made non-stop use of ceiling fans which were essential in the absence of air conditioning. Owner communication was accurate, detailed and helpful.

Shack!!!
Aging property not maintained sufficiently. Ceiling fans that barely work, some windows that don't work, dishwasher with unreadable key pads, dirty crockery and floors. Rooms for two queens are actually single size. Two page list of operating instructions which you definitely need as part of check in but still insufficient. Beware the protruding nails in furniture.

Blueys Beach Shack January 2023
Fantastic beach holiday. Beautiful views, close to beach, nice balcony for a drink & dinner at end of day at beach. Excellent communication with owner. House is cool, with lots of different spaces for larger family. Definitely plan to stay again. The wifi and streaming was great-no problems., Very well furnished kitchen and appliances. A couple of queen size dooners would not go astray for the queen beds, as some nights were cold, and only singles on bed. Plus window looks could do with some lubricant spray-some very stiff with keys to unlock. Thanks Davida. Paul & family

Fantastic location, comfortable accommodation
We had a great time here. The location and views were fantastic. The house had plenty of amusements to keep us occupied and equipment to use for our big cook-ups in the kitchen. Loved the huge dining table where the children could draw or play games. Some parts of the property could do with an upgrade (for instance the downstairs shower is awkward to use and needs work, and one of the window frames almost fell apart) and also the doonas provided on the queen beds were for single beds only. However the house was charmingly nestled in bush and had lots of character. We enjoyed our stay here!

Great stay at a great property in a great location
The property is large and more than spacious for our family of four. There are great views especially from the lower wing and would be great to see some more of the garden trimmed to take advantage of the views from the balcony. Great location in short walking distance to both Blueys and Boomerang beaches and the shops. Enjoyed the wood fire place and kids loved the toys in the kids room. Would definitely stay here again.

Eclectic, casual beach house in a great location
Just returned from 3 nights at Bluey's Beach - first time visitor to this hidden gem. The house itself is an eclectic mix of shabby and beach-chic with some interesting and quirky artwork thrown into the mix. Whilst some of the fittings (bathroom /kitchen) may have seen better times, pretty much everything you might want is catered for and at least there is no pressure for those with young children in terms of everything being new/pristine. Different 'zones / areas within the house make it easy for people to have their own space, similarly there is ample space (dining /sitting room) for larger groups to come together, The location is fantastic and the view from the front deck is beautiful. Communication from Davida (owner) was great - prompt and accurate. A couple of minor considerations for upgrades- given there is literally no phone service it would be good if the Wi-Fi signal was better. Whilst most of us didn't mind being cut off, my teenage daughter found this a significant drawback! Another might be the BBQ and/or gas supply to it as cooking on there took a fair bit longer than we had planned for. Again, nothing too dramatic and definitely not a spoiler, however for the nightly rate it might be worth considering. Overall a lovely stay.

Blueys Beach gem
Perfect location with fab views from every room. Lots of space for the family to spread out. Great for kids as stairs are all gated and there’s separate living space. Very well appointed with everything you’d need. The internet is very patchy so come prepared with a dongle if that’s important. Easy walks to the beach and the village. Plenty of games here and a great bbq. Quiet and off street parking for 2 cars. Clean and comfy beds. We all enjoyed our break here. Davida was very responsive and thoughtful.

Big, beautiful house with a killer view
House was perfect for us-two separate families with small kids as the house was split into two areas. The view was stunning and we all felt really relaxed. Was about 15 minutes from Forster Centre, but we enjoyed the little cafes there, as well as the beach. Great communication. Thanks!
