The Pines

Summary:

The Pines is an architecturally designed, multi-award winning tropical home. Its unique design has been featured in numerous magazines and it gives a holiday with a difference.



The Space:

Just a heads-up – there’s no public transport close by so having a car will make getting around much easier unless you don't mind walking !



The Pines is located in a residential street and is not suitable for groups or parties of any kind. This home is bordering on the National park so you may be visited by local wildlife.



The Pines is an architecturally designed, multi-award winning tropical home. Its unique design has been featured in numerous magazines and it gives a holiday with a difference:



Enjoy the smell of the natural bush and pine trees. Delight in the wide overhangs that bring the outside in, but which protect you from the excesses of the sun. Shower with no shower curtains or closed in cubicles.



Parents, close off the master bedroom area and soak in a bath on the patio deck with no bathroom walls to close you in.The house has been specifically designed for the tropics and minimizes the need for air-conditioning. Although all bedrooms are air-conditioned, excellent flow through ventilation and ceiling fans, in combination with a number of factors, negates the need for them in the rest of the house. The ocean and magical beaches are only a short drive away.

Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen Bed

Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen Bed

Bedroom 3: 2 x Single Beds

A great property with adequate space for the four of us in a quiet location. The house was well equipped with all basic requirements. Easy access to all the beaches and amenities by car. A book for reference would have been helpful when operating appliances and local attractions etc.

Beautiful tree house escape

We had a wonderful time at the Pines and we will definitely be back. Backing onto the national park was a real highlight as we loved the wildlife. The house is fantastic and perfect for a young family, although could do with a bit of TLC around some of the fixings and blinds. Overall experience was great and can’t wait to go back.

Quiet and spacious. Designed for maximum air flow. A short drive to horseshoe bay. A small amount of maintenance required in the bedrooms. Otherwise it was great.

The villa lacks maintenance

The architecture is very beautiful, the location is ideal if you have a vehicule but the exteriors are neglected and the furniture has aged a lot. We won't be returning

What an amazing house, nestled next to a pine forest & we thoroughly enjoyed the bird song, possums at night and the openness
