ELANORA GERROA :
Ranked in the Top 20 Australian Holiday Homes of the Year, for 2020. Awarded by Home Away Stayz.
2 hours south of Sydney is situated on Gerroa headland, unique in that you can watch both the sun rise over the farm and ocean and the sun set over the mountains and ocean.
Panoramic, breathtaking, uninterrupted ocean views surround the house. The rear of the house overlooks Shelley Beach and farmland. The garden deck with fire pit is a magic place to sit and be surrounded by spectacular views. Roast marshmallows over the fire or just sit and take in the views. Whales, dolphins, sea and birdlife abound. When present, the cows on the farm are a special treat. The front view takes in Seven Mile Beach, Black Head, the Crooked River and Berry Escarpment. The moon, stars and storms at sea, provide spectacular light shows over the ocean. The perfect place for relaxation.
We regularly receive texts from guests on arrival, with the common theme of being "blown away" by the views and location as well as the Guests Welcome pack. Most guests leave us a note on departure, saying..."amazing, stunning, refreshed, inspired, thanks so much, can't wait till we come back...."
