Once you have climbed the stairs to the upper living space, you won’t want to leave it.

The large deck across the front provides the perfect position for enjoying the views of the coast, from an armchair or the large outdoor dining table.

If the surf is up, watch surfers along the beach or, from June to November, keep an eye out for humpback whales in the bay.

On cooler days, you can admire the view from the lounge, while enjoying the warmth of the glass-backed bioethanol fire.

If you want to escape to a quiet nook, the house has a number of other living spaces—including a large living area on the lower level and a lower deck.

The Old Bus Shed is furnished with large day beds, a hammock and another large dining table. It opens on to a large, grassy reserve, which is perfect for children.
