Start the morning on the balcony with coffee in hand, watching waves roll across Middleton Point.
Let the day slow down in the living room, where timber floors, a fireplace, and sea views set an easy rhythm.
Wake to uninterrupted ocean views from the primary bedroom, where a queen bed and gentle light shape slow mornings.
Arrive at a classic beachfront cottage, with the ocean just across the road and the sound of waves close by.
Linger over meals in the dining area, framed by timber ceilings and an ever-present ocean outlook.

About this property

Norfolks Beachfront Cottage—Simple Seaside Living

Escape to Norfolks, a delightful beachfront cottage designed for comfort and convenience. The open-plan living area boasts timber floors, a fireplace, and expansive windows creates a welcoming coastal atmosphere. Curl up on the lounge after a swim, warm up by the fire on cooler nights, or simply let the ocean views set the pace of the day.

The kitchen connects seamlessly to the living area, offering a practical setting for shared meals, with plenty of bench space and everything needed for relaxed, home-style cooking. Just beside it, the dining area sits beneath timber-lined ceilings and glass doors, encouraging long lunches and sunset dinners with the coast as your backdrop. Step outside to the front balcony, where morning coffee comes with salt air and an uninterrupted outlook across Middleton Point. A rear garden offers a more sheltered setting for alfresco dining, with outdoor seating, a BBQ, and space to gather under the stars beside the fire pit.

The first bedroom feels like a true retreat, positioned to capture uninterrupted ocean views and fitted with a queen bed for restful nights. The second bedroom is ideal for families or friends, offering a queen bed alongside a single, styled simply for comfort and flexibility. The bathroom is simple but practical, featuring a separate bath and shower.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
This property is severely over priced for the quality of the current amenities; beds with sand in them, a musty smell, overgrown and dead gardens, full and stinky rubbish bins and overflowing drains. In addition to the poor and tired state of the property we also had an alarm system that was malfunctioning and beeped constantly for more than 36 hours before someone attended to the issue. For the price point, this was a real let down.
