Drive up the gravel driveway and make yourself at home—there’s ample space to park at least three vehicles right out the front. This welcoming two-storey home is perfect for families or groups, offering generous indoor and outdoor spaces, modern comforts, and a relaxed coastal vibe throughout.

As you step inside on the lower level, let’s begin by heading upstairs where the heart of the home awaits. Climbing the stairs, you’ll immediately notice the high ceilings and natural light that fills the space, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find yourself in the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area—a lively central hub that invites connection and comfort.

A standout feature in the middle of the room is the large pool table—perfect for casual games and a bit of friendly competition. To the right of the table sits the dining area, where six can comfortably gather around the table for meals or a night of board games. Just beyond the dining area is the fully equipped kitchen, with everything you need for a seamless stay, whether you're cooking up a quick breakfast or a full dinner. You’ll find a fridge, oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, kettle, and a Delonghi coffee pod machine - Please bring Nespresso pods along as we do not supply them.

Slide open the doors off the dining space to step out onto the balcony, where an outdoor dining table and BBQ offer the perfect setting for alfresco meals. From here, you can catch glimpses of the ocean peeking through the trees—a gentle reminder that you're just moments from the coastline. It’s a peaceful and grounding view that enhances the home's laid-back, beachside atmosphere.

Back inside and past the pool table, the main living area invites you to unwind. This cosy lounge is slightly tucked away, creating a quiet retreat for movie nights, reading, or simply relaxing by the indoor fireplace. Comfortable sofas surround a large TV, and the room is fitted with split system heating and cooling to keep you comfortable all year round.
