The Rockpool Shack is a beautifully renovated waterfront shack perched above Binalong Bay... Officially crowned the Best Beach in Australia. Tucked amongst native bushland with sweeping ocean views from almost every angle, this is the kind of place where you slow down without ever getting bored. Spend your days swimming, exploring rock pools, walking the coastline or simply watching the water change colour from the deck.
What makes this place truly special is the private path leading directly from the home down to the famous beach and hidden rock pool below. Sheltered by the iconic orange lichen covered rocks, the deep natural rock pool feels like your own secret enclave. While everyone else climbs over rocks to reach it, you can wander straight down from the shack.
The home keeps its relaxed shack soul, but with thoughtful modern upgrades everywhere you need them. A deck the width of the home has outdoor dining and a BBQ overlooking the ocean, while huge picture frame windows bring the views inside. The kitchen is fully equipped with an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and pantry staples. The bedroom features a queen bed with ocean views from your pillow and a walk in wardrobe, while the bathroom includes a walk in shower, vanity, toilet and washing machine.
After a day in the salt air, light the wood fire, settle in with board games, Starlink WiFi and the smart TV, and let the sound of the ocean take over. The Rockpool Shack is relaxed, romantic and unforgettable. Classic Bay of Fires shack living, elevated in all the right ways.
