Family favourite

Perfect location for our sons wedding at the country club and beach as in walking distance . House was beautifully cleaned on arrival with everything that we needed for our two families staying together.perfect as one family of 5 could stay in the left wing of the house in the bunk room. Safe backyard for our dogs the super surprise bonus the extra parking in the backyard that we could bring 3 wedding cars up from Sydney and leave them secure in backyard instead of driving them to a nearby storage locked up building as the house had no garage in between the ceremony and reception. Brilliant will be back 👍thanks to our host Colleen for accomodating our fluffy family as well 2 are assistance dogs that enjoyed having some time off relaxing at the house while we attended the wedding she also offered dog walkers in the area if we required them .

Bay Dream Believer, the name speaks for itself. Our magical House will have you booking your next holiday before you leave. Bring your family, bring the dog. We are moments away from National Parks and so many hidden beaches. You ill be keeping these secrets too. 10 minutes walk and you will be on the gentle sandy foreshore of Shoal Bay beach. Shops, coffee a selection of restaurants, Supermarket and takeaways are also along the main strip here. For a more secluded surf beach, Box, Wreck and Zenith beach are a short stroll through national park at the end of the street. If you'd like a bit of weekend vibe the famous newly renovated Country Club, much trendier than the name suggests has a great bistro and live music most weekends. Saturday night bands and acoustic duo style in the family friendly courtyard Sunday afternoons. The venue also has a courtesy bus if you don't feel like walking. For variation Fingal Bay and Nelson Bay are 5 minutes drive or short bike ride away. Location Location Location! So many things to keep a whole family or the weekend away with friends amused right on your doorstep. So many ways so you will not have to get in your car.
