Shawhaven - Shaws Bay Holiday Home

Shawhaven sits high above Shaw’s Bay and encompasses views of the bay and the Richmond River, showcasing the river’s mouth that meets the breath-taking ocean.

This large five-bedroom property is very tastefully decorated and is sure to suit extended families, or anyone that enjoys decadence and space.Shawhaven has been built with views in mind. Enjoy early morning sunrises, long walks along the North Wall, or experience the bike or walking tracks that lead you all the way to Lennox Head.

The master-built property is built on three levels, with all rooms facing east and replete with stunning views.

To initially access the property, you enter through the double garage that accommodates two cars. This level also has a landing with a clothesline and a BBQ entertaining area. There is also a laundry and bedroom on this level, which has two king single beds.

The entire space is fresh, stylishly decorated and offers views in almost every room. The next level down is where you will find the living room, dining room, kitchen, master suite with king bed and spa bathroom. There is also the third bedroom which has a tri- bed (double and single combination) and bathroom. This level also has an outdoor entertaining area.

The bottom level has two bedrooms, and both rooms have king beds that can be separated to king single beds. There is a comfortable lounge area with kitchenette and bathroom, as well as an outdoor sitting area.

If you're chasing a cold beer, the Shaws Bay hotel is just down the road, as is Shaw's Bay itself, a wonderful swimming spot for young families. A five minute drive will bring you to Ballina CBD and Lennox Head is just a ten minute drive away.Ballina CBD, RSL and bowling clubs and the local shopping centre are all a short walk away. Partake in a counter lunch at the local Shawsy hotel, or grab a morning coffee at the Foreshore café just metres down the road.
