Bring your dog and recharge your EV.
Fronting on to the beautifully sheltered Malua Bay beach at Garden Bay, Beachfront Shack is the quintessential retro 1960’s fun filled shack full of memories made and adventures yet to be had.
Abundant with charm, this character filled shack has direct private access to the beach along with a glorious hot water outdoor rainfall shower and boasts the absolute best beachfront position for miles around in order to walk the ten steps it takes to get the provided Sea Kayak or the two Stand Up Paddle boards straight into the water.
Awaken overlooking the beach with stunning sunrises and fall asleep to waves crashing outside your bedroom window
Includes access to 2 x SUPs, Sea Kayak, bodyboards & kids snorkelling gear provided. Crank the BBQ and fire pit at night whilst gazing up at the stars
As you walk through the door, you will notice something wonderfully different here.
With the beach and ocean beckoning to you through the window, you may choose to sit on the deck under the sun shelter looking at passing whales whilst watching the kids snorkelling in the child friendly sheltered bay out front, abundant with sea life, where dolphins and seals often come in to play.
Choose to do something. Or nothing at all. Activities a-plenty.
Having seen the sunrise over the beach and ocean from your bed whilst listening to the crashing waves, you might become inspired to start your morning by grabbing one of the two Stand Up Paddleboards provided and walking the ten steps it takes from the back of the house to reach the calm, child friendly beachfront of Garden Bay. Or simply take a morning leap and dive into the water - it’s a simply glorious way to start the day! Some will find that a simple stroll on the beach, feeling the sand through your toes will equally suffice!
Kids are provided with a couple of snorkelling sets and flippers, or can instead jump on into the 2+1 Sea Kayak, grab a small surfboard, or alternatively one of the three bodyboards supplied to get out in the water. All of which are included for your enjoyment.
Once you’ve finished frolicking in the water, there’s nothing quite that compares to coming straight out off the beach to then be welcomed by your own private hot water outdoor rainfall shower. It’s one of life’s true luxuries that makes wandering both in as well as out of the ocean from your beachfront property, equally indulgent. Perfect for rinsing off the sand and sea, and simply divine to become immersed in after a refreshing morning dip!
If you have a furry friend, they’re absolutely going to love you for bringing them along. Beachfront Shack is pet friendly, as is the beach at the back door. Dogs are allowed off leash on the beach all day and night during 1 May until 31 October. During the dates of 1 Nov to 30 April, they can run around on or off leash on the beach before 9am and after 5pm.
If you prefer your breakfast being made for you, a comfortable morning stroll will see you at one of the best breakfasts on the South Coast in under 10 minutes.
The North facing outlook of Beachfront Shack, directly overlooking the beach and ocean maintains a comfortable temperature all year around, with the climate inside easily and comfortably controlled by the reverse cycle air conditioning.
