Shoaly House-A Spacious Oasis, an entertainers delight with big outdoor decks
This newly renovated property boasts a modern, high-standard design with multiple entertaining areas, perfect for family gatherings or wedding parties.
Situated just a short walk from pristine beaches, this centrally located Shoal Bay gem places you close to everything you need.
The expansive driveway features a lockable front fence, electric gates, and ample space for boats.
For larger groups, consider also booking the 2-bedroom Shoaly House Cottage, which increases capacity from 11 to 16.
Your perfect Beachside Getaway awaits!!
Shoaly House is located in the heart of Shoal bay, within only a short walk of several activities ensuring all in your accompanying party are catered for.
On those blistering summer days find bliss in a short walk to the beach where you'll find pristine sands and crystal-clear waters. Our top picks in the area include:
- Shoal Bay Beach (A peaceful spot for those with young Kids) (1KM)
- Box Beach (Perfect spot to catch some waves, Note: Unpatrolled) (1KM)
- Fingal Bay Beach (Lovely spot for a morning sunrise stroll) (1KM)
- Zenith Beach (2KM)
Exploring the local area can be best done by wandering the local trails and cruising the local waterways. Our favourite ways to do this include:
- Tomaree Coastal Walk (A beautiful summit with serene bay views, perfect for that sunrise/sunset pic!!!)
- Point Stephens Lighthouse and Fingal Spit Walk (Pure bliss at low tide)
- Shoal Bay Boat Ramp (Launch your boat and traverse the stunning coastline, perfect for those bluebird summer days)
For the little ones we recommend:
- An afternoon fishing session off the pier.
- Surfing Lessons located at Fingal Bay Beach
- The Local parks and playgrounds
Details and Specifications:
- Sleeps 11
- Upstairs (3 bedrooms , kitchen, indoor and outdoor living areas, fireplace, bathroom)
- Downstairs - large storage area, overflow living
NOTE:
