Set across two levels and surrounded by native bush and birdlife, this private, three-bedroom retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends. The open-plan living area upstairs flows effortlessly onto a generous deck, where a spa pool, outdoor lounge suite, bean bags and deck chairs await—ideal for soaking up the sun or enjoying a book in the sea breeze.
The ground floor space is warm and inviting, complete with a fireplace and fully equipped kitchen for easy holiday living. Meanwhile, the downstairs area is a hit with teens, kids, or extended family—offering a third bedroom, a second bathroom, and a spacious rumpus room with Smart TV, giving everyone their own space to relax.
Outside, versatile outdoor space is the entertainers dream—the pizza oven doubles as a BBQ with rotisserie. Cast iron pans, BBQ utensils and wood are all supplied, so you're ready to cook up a feast.
It’s an easy stroll to the beach for a swim or paddle, with a nearby playground for the kids. And just a six-minute drive away, Brick Bay Wines and Sculpture Trail offers the perfect blend of wine, art, and culture.
