Privacy with a spectacular view
A very spacious 2-bedroom house with a great kitchen. The living space is light and airy with wide doors opening to the decks and garden. We were so lucky to have beautiful weather, and every evening a stunning sunset over the bay. It is perfectly placed for the local Heads for walking on the tracks, or getting to the beach. We had such a comfortable and relaxing holiday here.

Everything we needed
My partner and I booked this place for a friend’s wedding just down the road. Location was perfect, and the hosts were very accommodating of us, with our kids and babysitters in tow! Beautiful view and great outdoor space, and the house had everything we needed. Thank you!

Up a right-of way so private with a safe playing area for children due to very little traffic movement. Plenty of space for you to bring a boat. Only 100m to safe swimming beach and boat launching. Children's play ground next to the beach. Lovely peaceful view overlooking the harbour. You will hear lots of bird life. Very picturesque walking tracks close by, Mt Mania and Mt Aubrey are in Mcleods bay. Only a few kms to Ocean Beach which is a surf beach.
