Our Place - Family friendly & close to the beach
Relax and unwind at ‘Our Place’, a modern three-bedroom house crafted for a relaxing coastal break. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, this inviting home provides a sunny atmosphere where families or two smaller groups can gather together, rest, and enjoy time away near the ocean.
Our home has an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge that opens up onto a north facing deck.
The sleeping arrangements suit a maximum of six only, including children. We can accomodate an extra child on the bunk bed only, at an additional charge per night by arrangement ONLY.
The kitchen comes fully equipped for easy self-catering and a Nespresso machine to start your mornings right. Stepping outside onto the deck, you can fire up the gas BBQ for outdoor dining while watching family members play on the lawn.
Water lovers can take full advantage of the direct access to Ramarama stream located right at the edge of backyard. Guests are welcome to bring along a paddleboard or kayak, making it simple to launch into the water and enjoy a paddle down to the estuary/lagoon.
