About this property

The Purple Place

A Wooli classic! The Purple Place is a funky 50s beach cottage with a big, securely fenced backyard and a path up to a private beachfront dune garden - the perfect setting for a great Aussie beach holiday, just the way they used to be.

With polished hardwood floors, vintage furniture, a cast iron tub and rain shower head, combined with a well equipped kitchen, barbecue, dishwasher, air conditioning, TV and Wi-Fi, the Purple Place blends modern comforts with its classic beach-shack character.

The Purple Place is nestled behind the ocean dune with a large, fenced backyard where a path from the back gate leads up to a private dune garden area with spectacular views of the ocean. Beach access is just a minute's walk from the house.

Layout:

Master Bedroom: 1 queen bed, access to the master bedroom is from the lounge room.

Second Bedroom: 2 king single beds, access is from the kitchen (2 steps up).

Third Bedroom: 1 queen bed, and 1 small single bed . This room is outside the main part of the house, off the covered porch, with a ground level entry.

Lounge room: entry from the front porch and into Kitchen (2 steps down)

Kitchen/Dining: has a ground level entry from the back porch, and connects to the Lounge (2 steps up) and Bathroom (1 step up)

Bathroom/Laundry: is a large open room with ground level entry from the back porch, and a step up from Kitchen/Dining.

Accessibility: Please note there are several steps up onto the front porch, and internally from the Kitchen up to the Living Room, the Second Bedroom, and the Bathroom.

The main entrance is the back door into the kitchen next to the key lock box.

The front door leads into the lounge room, and the second bedroom and bathroom both have doors onto the back porch.

There is a private dune garden area for guests with spectacular ocean views accessible by a short path from the backyard up onto the dune directly behind the house.

Beach access is just a minute's walk North from the house.

The Purple Place is a lovely little beach house, nicely decorated and with everything you could possibly need (and more) for a fabulous holiday. Many hours were whiled away watching the ocean from the dune - whales, dolphins, surfers, boats, cool clouds. The kitchen is well equipped, there is a washing machine and dryer, books, board games, and jigsaws for rainy days, you name it. And as an extra bonus it's pet friendly with a fully fenced yard so our dog gets to have the time of her life as well! It is also close to the bowls club and cafe, and not too far from the pub and shop if you need to restock. We have stayed multiple times and will be back!

The Purple Cottage

We found the cottage very clean and central to all our needs while in Wooli. Our time at the cottage was very enjoyable and relaxing, the table on the sand dune looking out to the ocean was lovely.

Had a few hiccups the first day but eventually got everything sorted. Fiona and Broc have done an awesome job with the funky 50's styling. Beds were comfortable, amazing bench space in the kitchen and just about everything you could ever need for a cook up.

The Purple Place was exactly what we were wanting. A quiet few days away with the fam in a beach cottage. Short walk to the Bowlo & little Cafe. Perfect spot for a morning coffee out the back sitting at the table looking over the beach or an arvo wine & cheese platter. Perfect yard for the dogs to run around. Beds were comfy and linen in excellent clean condition. A few things that need addressing but didn't really affect our stay.. The BBQ needs replacing as it is full of rust, the oven/stove is gas and a little temperamental and the microwave makes an extremely loud squeaking noise when you first start it.These things happen but I feel it was worth mentioning.Loved our stay here!

Wooli

Great location, backing onto the beach on the other side of the dune and the estuary a short walk in the opposite direction. Plenty of room for parking/boats. It is only a 2 BR though - looks like the third was converted into an extended bathroom. Well stocked kitchen, and the aircon was a boon on those hot humid afternoons

Better than expected

Great ! Very happy would definitely stay again . Was such a plus we could bring our dog, felt just like home, they even had some sweet Christmas decorations . The house had everything we could need and more. Clean and tidy only negative was lots of creepy crawlies although to be expected, definitely pack bug spray . We will be back :)

We are a family of 5 who love to explore, which is how we found and fell in love with Wooli. Our adventures led us overseas and we currently live in Massachusetts. From March 2020 we spent 4 months living in Wooli, giving our little cottage a bit of tlc, doing some rearranging and loving life on the beach.
We hope you love Wooli as much as we do!
