About this property

Relaxing getaway for the family - 25 meters from the river edge

It's time to unwind and enjoy the 180-degree river views, spacious open living, meters from the river's edge, a 5-minute walk to the main beach, and a 500-meter walk to the golf course; small dogs are welcome. Do you want a coffee, breakfast, or brunch? Stroll 100 meters to the local cafe.

Can't decide whether to fish, swim, surf, or have a hit of golf? The choice is yours!

After a busy or relaxing day taking in the views, you can dine in or dine out at the many restaurants that are all within walking distance. Or stay at home and cook up a BBQ while watching the sunset over the sparkling water.
Remember, the choice is yours!

Loved this house perfect location, and super clean. Has an automatic coffee machine but remember to take your grounded coffee. I got the short straw and the single bed room which is not square so it took me time to adjust to the bed not in a square position. Would I book again - YES!
