Greenhole is situated on the beautiful blue, salt water lagoon of Leisure Isle. There is a richness in nature and it is the birds, butterflies and sea creatures which make Greenhole Cottage a true haven.
Sitting on the Verandah, one can enjoy the constantly changing scene of flying kites and yachts sailing past. We often ride bikes to the Leisure Island art gallery coffee shop, or walk through the water to the East Heads Cafe. The children are constantly canoeing, fishing, cycling and occasionally on board some newly made friends yachts, sailing.
Leisure Isle offers an incredible experience for all ages, the sandy beaches are ideal for little ones with their buckets and spades, the surfing teens can visit famous nearby surfing beaches or are welcome to paddle with the canoes in the garage, and the elderly can enjoy good flat walks around Leisure Isle, conversing with the local residents. A highly recommended holiday destination for the whole family.
Greenhole is a three-bedroomed cottage and sleeps 8 people. One bedroom is en-suite and the other two share a bathroom, with a separate loo.

The location of this property is absolutely perfect! Situated on the water of Leisure Island, the views are fabulous through the front windows or your large private patio. There’s even a bench set up in perfect position to view beautiful sunsets. The home is exactly as pictured, with a large back patio for gatherings. The living area and kitchen are large but very comfortable, and all three bedrooms are spacious and the beds are perfect for a good night’s rest. Hannalie, the property manager was very helpful and was available and took immediate care of all of our needs. An excellent choice!
