No smoking.. This wonderful, modern, semi-detached bungalow is tucked away on a private road and has been decorated and furnished to provide every extra comfort. Located within an easy walk of the fabulous sandy beach, backed by sand dunes, attractions and amenities, including the village pub. California is a popular, smaller seaside resort.

Situated on the doorstep are many privately owned holiday parks, some with clubhouses offering seasonal entertainment and leisure amenities, which encourage use of their on-site facilities. There are 45 miles of unspoilt coastline to explore and the famous, man-made Norfolk Broads, a National Park of over 125 miles of navigable lock free waterways. The rivers are best explored by boats, and daily river trips and boat hire are available locally. Wroxham, known as the capital of the broads, offers riverside restaurants, cafés, shops, daily boat hire and river trips. The traditional seaside resort of Great Yarmouth, 6 miles, has funfairs, amusements, crazy golf, pier, model village, Sea Life Centre, Waxwork Museum, theatre, cinema, wide sandy beach, shopping centre with market and an indoor leisure centre with wave swimming pool and bowling alley.

Enjoy a family day out at Thrigby Wildlife Gardens which has a children’s play area and is just 6 miles away. A little further afield are Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park, 15 miles, and the city of Norwich, 24 miles, for excellent shopping, two indoor shopping malls, market square, plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafés, theatre, castle museum, cinema complexes and cathedral.

The area is a paradise for nature lovers with fabulous walks and trails to explore, and great cycling opportunities around the quiet lanes. Horsey beach is a quieter beach, and is a fantastic place to watch birdlife and the seals during November to February, where the seals and their pups fill the whole beach. Beach ½ mile. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

We had a lovely week at California Halt.

We had a lovely week at California Halt. The weather was great, so we made full use of the beach up the road. The location of the cottage was ideal and it was very clean. The owners had thought of every detail to make sure we had everything we needed.

Arguably the best holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in.

Arguably the best holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in. Extremely clean and cosy with everything you could ever need included. From Toiletries, towels linen to a very generous welcome basket of food/snacks on arrival.Great location also. A beach less than 10mins walk away and only a small drive to the nearest supermarket. I can't recommend California Halt highly enough.

This was an absolutely charming holiday home! Everything had so much thought and attention!The toiletries were lovely, the welcome pack really was most welcome!Cosy blankets in the sitting-room to snuggle under, (the granddaughters were impressed by the electric reclining chair!)A great selection of dads, games and books.Then the beach was so close - even though it was soo cold, being mid-February, it would be great innthe summer.We would recommend this to anyone!
