About this property
Buchanan Hideout Cosy Bungalow by Merewether Beach
Step into the relaxed rhythm of beachside living in this compact home, where colourful touches and warm coastal tones create a calming base just minutes from the shore. Walk eight minutes to the vibrant cafés and boutique shops at The Junction, or take a nine-minute stroll to the golden sands of Dixon Park Beach and follow the scenic coastal walk to Bar Beach. With a modern kitchen, an inviting lounge, air conditioning and heating, it’s the perfect base to explore Merewether’s laid-back charm.
Set privately behind the main residence, this compact, self-contained retreat has a private entrance and a raised porch with seating—ideal for a quiet morning cuppa or unwinding after a stroll back from the beach.
The modern kitchen includes everything you need for relaxed breakfasts or seafood dinners, with a Nespresso machine, pour-over coffee setup, microwave, stove, and oven. A glossy bench with bar stools is ideal for a quick bite or midday snack, while the adjacent dining table provides a cosy space for shared meals or catching up on emails.
After a day at the beach, retreat to one of two peaceful bedrooms. Recharge in the primary bedroom with a queen bed, or curl up with a book in the second room, which features a bunk with a double below and single above—perfect for kids or friends. Rinse off salt and sand in the family bathroom, complete with a rainfall shower and complimentary toiletries.
A tucked-away laundry space is available for sandy towels or mid-trip washing. Stay comfortable year-round with air conditioning and heating in the living room and bedrooms. Enjoy stress-free arrivals with free 24/7 street parking. A highchair and travel cot are available on request.
Please note, access is via a short flight of stairs and may not be suitable for anyone with mobility concerns.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
