About this property

Sanctuary At The Bay - Diamond Harbour Retreat

Sanctuary At The Bay features four large bedrooms, including a master with a king bed, walk-in robe, and ensuite. Another large bathroom has a shower, toilet, and separate bath. Downstairs, you’ll find a separate toilet, laundry, and a double-carpeted garage.

The inspiring kitchen is surrounded by two large living areas with waterfront views and a three-level terraced garden. You'll struggle to resist the temptation to return after your initial stay!

If you feel like dining alfresco style, the BBQ and dining table can easily be moved out to the deck. Also just within a 10-minute walking distance are a supermarket, takeaway shops and a new restaurant (Two Thumb Brewing Co.).

Whether you're here for work or a long holiday, you'll feel right at home. Book Sanctuary At The Bay and experience a beautiful Diamond Harbour holiday with your loved ones!
