Tucked peacefully between the gentle waters of the bay and the soothing surrounds of native bushland, The Bay and Bush Retreat is a place to truly slow down, breathe deeply, and unwind.
The home is bathed in natural light, with expansive windows in the lounge creating a calm, airy space while framing beautiful bay views. Whether you`re enjoying quiet conversation, a midday rest, or simply watching the light change across the water, this is a space designed for relaxation.
At the heart of the home is a stunning modern kitchen, making entertaining effortless. With generous dining for eight, it`s perfect for long, unhurried meals shared with family and friends.
Multiple balconies invite you to choose your moment - bay views or bush backdrops, morning coffee or sunset drinks. Vistas and adventures are a plenty with rocky outcrops, native birdlife and nautical baylife all on your doorstep. The patrolled beaches of Killcare await just over the hill an energetic walk or 5 minute drive.
Boasting a relaxed coastal-meets-bush atmosphere, local fresh produce nearby, scenic bushwalks at your doorstep, and leisurely lunches by the bay just moments away, this is an ideal escape for those seeking calm, comfort, and connection with nature.
