Also nearby is Pearson Park, which has large, shaded grass areas, picnic tables, BBQ, toilets, playground and safe swimming at beautiful Sunset Beach. A ten minute walk to the Marina offers more restaurants, cafes, tennis courts, a playground and boat ramp. The Wanda shops are just 2.5kms away and offer a variety of shops, spas, cafes and restaurants.

The House –Driftwood is a beautifully refurbished waterfront cottage with direct water access and a 5 minute walk or paddle to beautiful Sunset Beach. The waterfront directly behind the house is the best position to enjoy the spectacular sunsets, complete with a seating area.
