Secluded relaxing beach escape

Relax on the deck of Schooner Bay House and soak up the view from the privacy of this comfortable 2-bedroom home. Meet the tui and kaka that visit the bush around the house or the banded rails on the back lawn. Open plan living area. Less than a 5-minute walk to Schooner Bay, great snorkeling and fishing, or go kayaking in 3 complimentary kayaks.

Drive to the house. Lots of parking space for your car and boat and a large flat lawn for lawn cricket surrounded by native bush.

Magical place to stay

Magical place to stay. We loved everything in this house, from the view, to the sounds of the waves and birds. It's a paradisiac retreat, comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommanded.

Amazing views!

Amazing views and very nicely situated with decks on both sides of house. Comfortable beds and good cooking facilities. Lawn was very boggy so unfortunately we got a little stuck turning around first night but otherwise had excellent time.

Great location

Great location and awesome to have kayaks to use in bay. Incorrect instructions provided to access property was a little frustrating. Also linen and towels could do with updating.
