- Beaches: 3 minutes drive to Catherine Hill Bay or 5 minutes to Caves Beach - Fishing: cast a line from the backyard! - Table tennis (located downstairs) - Visit the Hunter for some wine tasting - Kids swing & climbing outdoor play equipment - Dining: go for a casual lunch at Catho Pub, the new Caves Beachside Hotel or neighbouring restaurant at Rafferty's Resort (2 minute drive) or....just kick back & relax with a BBQ on the balcony as you watch the sunset over the lake. - Boating (tie up at the water's edge in the back yard)
.....& for those necessities, take a 5 minute drive to Swansea to supermarkets & restaurants. There is also a Cafe in Nords Wharf (only 10 minutes walk) selling freshly made sandwiches, great coffee and a few basic food items.
Guest Comment: The location is beautiful - just perfect. We tied our boat up in the back yard and enjoyed coming and going at our leisure. The home is beautifully decorated, well appointed and a pleasure to stay in. Watch out for the kookaburras when you're eating breakfast! Rebecca. Rating: 5/5
