'Shimoda' on Illabunda, McKenzies Beach

Nestled in the heart of Malua Bay, this home offers a blend of features catering to both relaxation and entertainment.

Entertainment takes center stage with not one, but two large TVs that guarantee a great viewing experience. Dive into your favorite shows or host a movie night with friends and family while you stay comfortable year-round with air conditioning.

Families with children will appreciate the child-friendly fenced backyard, a space for little ones to play freely while you relax with peace of mind.

Situated less than a 5-minute drive away, the local bowling club, shopping, and dining facilities await your exploration. Indulge in local flavors, and experience the vibrant community life that Malua Bay offers.

But best of all this home backs onto the beautiful McKenzie Reserve, inviting you to explore its natural beauty and enjoy leisurely walks. And if the call of the beach beckons, you're just a short 120-meter walk away from the golden sands and crystal-clear waters!

For a rather old property, it was fairly well maintained and was more than adequate for a family or group. It presented very good value for the area which in general is well over-priced.

We really enjoyed ourselves at Shimoda. It has everything you need and a location that can't be beat. We especially appreciated the extras that made it from a place to stay into a home.

We stayed at this property for 5 nights along with our son, daughter in law, grandchildren and my elderly mother. The bedroom set ups were absolutely perfect for our group. The McKenzie beach is a very short walk and the children were able to go swimming many times - so easy to duck to the beach for a short time. The house has a lovely outdoor BBQ area. We had a very relaxing stay and will certainly consider renting this property again when we are back in the Bateman's Bay area.
