This peaceful hideaway provides all the comforts of home, including a TV, books, and board games for relaxed evenings. Step out onto the expansive deck with outdoor seating and a BBQ, perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons or stargazing under the clear night skies. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area welcomes you with warmth and simplicity. Sliding doors open onto the wraparound deck, inviting the outdoors in and offering elevated, sun-drenched views across native bush and glimpses of the bay beyond. For cooler nights, a log burner keeps the space cosy and inviting. After a day on the water, unwind in one of three well-appointed bedrooms — one with a double bed and two with twin singles — offering peaceful rest surrounded by native birdsong. Accessible via sealed road and with ample parking, this retreat includes a mooring as well as ROW access to the beach and jetty, making it easy to launch the boat, kayak, or paddleboard.
