The Scarborough - Pet Friendly Bushland Retreat

Welcome to Scarborough's hidden gem, a stunning holiday rental set into the leafy escarpment where relaxation is inevitable. With breathtaking coastal views and sandy beaches only minutes away, your getaway promises to be full of ocean breezes and magical sunsets.

Our unique Scarborough retreat is designed to comfortably accommodate 6 guests. It features three tastefully decorated bedrooms with a plush Queen bed and ensuring delightful slumber at the end of an adventurous day. The main bedroom on the mezzanine level has peaceful ocean views (please note there is no door closing off the mezzanine from the downstairs living ares). The family bathroom is situated on the ground floor and serves all three bedrooms. The rental is generously equipped with comforts of home including bed linens and bath towels.

Step into a stylish, open-concept living area, where a generously spaced lounge encourages you to unwind in the soft light of the fireplace. Play board games or read one of the intriguing books from our collection. Gather around the dedicated dining space where the memories of shared meals and laughter serve as the perfect holiday accompaniment.

Our furnished kitchen, loaded with modern appliances like a microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, and the essential pots & pans, ensures home-cooking is always an enjoyable option. The space is amply stocked with pantry items such as coffee, tea, oils, salt, pepper, and sauces.

Outdoors, let the children explore our bush garden, play on the flat grassy area or enjoy an al fresco lunch at the picnic table. Your pet will love bounding around in the outdoor area as well - we're proud to be completely pet-friendly, welcoming up to 3 well-behaved furry friends.

In the evenings, gather around the Fire pit, share stories and marshmallows, or sit back in comfy outdoor furniture, enjoy the ocean view and the sound of local wildlife in the bush behind. With up to four dedicated parking spaces, parking worries are a thing of the past at this holiday rental.

In addition to the fantastic in-house offerings, our holiday rental is within a short stroll to Scarborough's delightful cafes, boutique shops, and restaurants, catering to all your essential holiday needs.

Immerse yourself in the coastal charm of our Scarborough retreat. We promise you'll leave refreshed and dreaming of many happy returns.
