Expansive views over the beach and the coastline from every room. Direct beach access just across the quiet road and down a sandy path, only a few minutes walk.
This house sits in a garden overlooking Park Beach, a family friendly surf and swimming beach and coastal paradise. The house has a beautiful outlook with more than just a flat blue ocean horizon; we have islands, peninsulas, headlands, mountains as well as the beach and sunset views.
The beach is ideal for everyone, good for walking, playing, swimming and surfing. Take a short walk along the headland to the whale look-out.
Every room has a view, with a sunroom, lounge and 2 bedrooms all facing the coast. We provide comfortable bed mattresses, and fresh linen is provided for beautiful relaxing sleep.
Quiet and peaceful, with the gentle sound of waves and birds in the trees. If you are careful, you may see an owl, echidna or bandicoot in the garden.
The large kitchen is well appointed, with dishwasher, fan forced oven, microwave, and Delonghi Distinta espresso coffee maker. Lots of pots and pans if you like cooking, and a gas BBQ just outside.
The big sun room has all day sun and some of the best coastal views in the region. There's a dining area to feast while overlooking the beach, a sofa ideal to curl up in the sun, and an adjoining sun-drenched patio with sheltered, sunny outdoor sitting area. You can use the outdoor shower when you come back from the beach.
The house is an older style 1960’s house that was rebuilt in 1989 and updated again in 2016. It is furnished with an eclectic range of current, mid-century and historic furniture and artworks from the 1920 's to the present, all functional and comfortable, and maybe a bit classic and quirky.
