Waterfront Cottage is a cosy three-bedroom cottage designed for easy, relaxed stays, where water views are a constant backdrop from almost every window. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable lounge for unwinding, and a dedicated kids’ corner complete with board games, books and toys—perfect for keeping younger guests entertained. Warm, welcoming and practical, the layout suits couples, families or small groups looking to switch off and spend quality time together in a peaceful setting.

The outdoor spaces are where this property truly shines, set on an expansive grassy waterfront block with direct access to the water. Bring your boat or jet ski and make the most of days spent swimming, fishing or kayaking, or simply relax and take in the calm surroundings. The balcony is ideal for morning coffees with sunrise views, while the front verandah is for sitting under the stars. With plenty of open space, kids can safely play, ride bikes or explore, and there’s room for picnics by the water or a stroll with the dog.

Positioned just steps from the shoreline, this property offers a tranquil and tucked-away escape that feels remote without being inconvenient. Enjoy the natural beauty of the area, from calm waters perfect for paddling to the peaceful presence of local birdlife, including swans gliding past. While it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, you’re still just minutes from the highway, making access simple for a short break or extended holiday.

Book your stay at Waterfront Cottage and settle into a peaceful waterfront escape where life’s better on holidays.
