About this property
Surf Sounds Cottage - Hot Water Beach
Our place is close to the beach and family-friendly activities but also tucked away so you can still enjoy the piece and quiet. The cottage is situated on the front half of a large subtropical shared landscaped garden.
You will have your own large private fenced garden and a large back get where you can watch the kids or enjoy a BBQ
My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids).
