About this property

Gardens Road Beach House

This lovely beach house is set on a large private bush block, 3 km north of Binalong Bay and adjoining the Bay of Fires Coastal Reserve. It enjoys panoramic sea views from upstairs living areas and the large private deck and is surrounded by beautiful, native bush full of the wildflowers in spring and providing an ideal habitat for many species of birds and animals, especially the rare yellow-tailed black cockatoo and sea eagles. It is very close to the end of the recently opened Swimcart lagoon mountain bike trail.
The house is light, sunny and warm throughout the year with uninterrupted northern sun during the day. It is very well set up for holidays or extended stays with quality fittings, a very well equipped kitchen complete with espresso machine, sharp knives and everything a serious cook might need. There is a leather modular setting with rugs and cushions as well as a large window seat perfect for curling up on in front of the fire or just admiring the panoramic views to the north. There are 2 wood combustion heaters , a modern Scandinavian one upstairs with glass doors and another downstairs which keep the house warm and comfortable. There is also a recently installed large electric heating /cooling system.
From a large, sunny, upstairs deck complete with a gas fired barbecue and outdoor dining setting there are extensive views to the north and east of the Bay of Fires Coastal Reserve and Pacific Ocean.

The house is a 5 minute drive or a 45 minute walk along the beach from Binalong Bay with its bistro/restaurant which is open all day from breakfast to dinner.
Of the two bedrooms upstairs one is a recently built, architect designed master bedroom with large picture window and panoramic view with a very comfortable queen size bed, the other has a very good double bed. There is a beautiful upstairs bathroom. Downstairs there is a bunk room which has a double bed on the bottom and single on the top as well as a shower room, toilet and laundry.
There is also a table tennis table set up downstairs.
Outside there is a wood bbq and a fire pit for those who enjoy sitting round a camp fire.
Jeanneret Beach is a generally safe, beautiful swimming and snorkelling beach about 3 minutes walk away or the wilder surf beach directly in front of the house is accessed by a path through the coastal reserve.

The house adjoins the world famous Bay of Fires Coastal Reserve north of Binalong Bay and is surrounded by beautiful original native vegetation.
The swimming is wonderful with the dazzling white beaches and very clear blue water. A variety of beaches lets you decide if you want surf or flat water. There is a huge diversity of fish in the kelp beds just off the granite rocks on the headlands. The snorkelling is excellent.
The area is ideal for boating or kayaking and we have often kayaked with dolphins just in front of the house. We have also seen whales in May, June and September mostly as they come and go from Antarctica.
There is a pair of sea eagles that nest nearby and these can usually be seen each day.

A house worth returning to for another holiday
Close to two beautiful beaches which we preferred to the longer Bay of Fires. The house has a great wood fire that we used for our rainy afternoon. St Helens is a delightful town not far away and offers great food and coffee. Definitely one of our favourite places in our holiday.

A weeks holiday at Beautiful Binalong Bay
We loved how the Garden road Beach house is situated in an idea spot close to some beautiful beaches and sights as we spent a lot of time on the beach and kayaking the lagoons in the area . We arrived on a day that was 30 degrees the house being 2 story and gets the all day sun it was like an oven inside ..The was only an Air con down stairs I don’t know why because it was no help as all the living area was up stairs .. There was not any blinds on the windows to close if we went out through the day to even keep the heat out … We could not get the main bedroom window open to allow for any breeze of a night to make it comfortable to sleep . These couple of things really need looking at as we sat of an evening very uncomfortable with the heat some nights . Apart from those issues the house and setting is just lovely .

The house had a beautiful feel. Lots of space and perfect for relaxing and taking in the views. It is also perfectly situated for access to the beach and walking. The kitchen was well equipped and the coffee machine and coffee were a welcome bonus. We loved it and we’re sorry to leave.

We had such a beautiful stay. The property was faultless and the location to die for. Crystal blue water and sparkling white sand. A beautiful costal view from the front deck and secluded bush back yard with fire pit. We recommend this property 100%. Thank you Ian and Marcel. We can't wait to stay again.

Beautiful sunny house with amazing views.
Overall the house was lovely apart from most of the dishes being dirty upon arriving and ants all through the cupboards and over the cooking utensils. A great location with beautiful views and lots of sunshine. Loved the the doors opening onto the deck from both sides of the houses.
