Banksia Cottage - Pet Friendly Waterfront
Escape to the water’s edge — a lovingly kept, pet-friendly cottage with sun-drenched deck and direct waterfront access through the leafy reserve in the backyard. From the deck you can drink in lovely bay views and the gentle soundtrack of the water — perfect for slow mornings with coffee or sunset evenings by the fire.
Inside, warm, comfortable living zones invite relaxed stays: the lounge centres on a cosy fireplace and opens to bright, view-facing living and dining areas. The fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, gas cooktop and coffee machine) overlooks the bay — handy for family meals or casual BBQs on the deck.
The layout is flexible for families: there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (a separate studio provides a fourth bedroom with its own bathroom and laundry, ideal as a private parents’ retreat or extra guest space). The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 9 guests and has an enclosed yard so pets can enjoy the outdoors too.
Practical extras you’ll appreciate: off-street parking, roomy deck with BBQ, smart TV and WiFi (note: internet in regional areas can be patchy), and a warm outdoor ambiance courtesy of the fireplace — an especially nice touch during cooler months. This is a family-friendly, non-party waterfront cottage that invites easy, relaxed stays.
