About this property
Omaroo - rural escape - air con - pet friendly - Shallow Bay
Welcome to Omaroo — meaning “beautiful view” — a peaceful rural retreat designed for relaxation, exploration, and a true country escape.
This single-level haven sits amidst rolling countryside and offers everything you need for a memorable getaway. Your doggos are warmly welcomed, with a fully fenced yard so they can roam safely while you unwind.
Wake each morning to Omaroo’s stunning panoramic views, wander the private walking track, or sit by the large dam adorned with graceful water lilies (please note the dam is unfenced, so supervision of children is essential). As night falls, prepare to be amazed by a sky filled with stars like you’ve never seen — best enjoyed around the firepit, complete with seating, for those cooler evenings.
Inside, Omaroo blends comfort and charm. The lounge area offers air conditioning for summer days and a cosy fireplace for winter stays. The main bathroom features a spa bath with the best view in the house — the perfect spot to relax and soak in the serenity.
For fun and downtime, head to the shed games room, a fantastic hangout space featuring a dartboard, foosball, and table tennis. A lovely vinyl record player (please bring your own records) add a touch of nostalgia and atmosphere to your stay.
As a pet-friendly property, we simply ask that you clean up after your doggo. Being on water tanks, we also appreciate mindful water use.
Omaroo invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beautiful view — just as its name promises.
