About this property

Coastal Wilderness Retreat

  • If you`re craving slow mornings, bare feet on timber floors and the scent of eucalyptus drifting through the trees, welcome home.

    Tucked away on a private acre bordering Bouddi National Park, this soulful bush retreat is where nature sets the pace. Surrounded by towering gums, native birds and winding bush tracks, it`s a place to unplug, exhale and embrace the simple joys of coastal living. The patrolled beach of Killcare is only minutes away yet the more secluded beaches can be explored via the national park walking trails on your doorstep.

    Inside, the home is warm, relaxed and full of character. Original timber floors, earthy textures and thoughtfully refreshed spaces create an effortless blend of rustic charm and laid-back comfort. Sunlight spills through every room, while the wrap-around verandah becomes your front-row seat to birdsong, rustling trees and lazy afternoons with a good book.

    After salty swims or long walks through the national park, rinse off beneath the open-air shower before gathering around the crackling wood fire. Toast marshmallows, sip rich hot chocolate and let the warmth of the fire carry you into a slower evening beneath the stars.

    Bedding Configuration
    Bedroom 1: 1 x King Bed
    Bedroom 2: 1 x Queen Bed
    Bedroom 3: 1 x Queen Bed
    Bedroom 4: 1 x King Single Bunk Bed (2 singles) + 1 x Pull-out trundle bed

    Life moves differently here. Wander into Hardys Bay for your morning coffee and fresh local produce, spend the afternoon swimming at Killcare Beach or exploring the rock pools, then stroll through Wagstaffe and catch the ferry across to Palm Beach. With Bouddi`s walking trails beginning just beyond the garden, adventure and tranquillity are always within easy reach.

    Whether you`re chasing quiet moments, long conversations on the verandah, or a weekend wrapped in nature, this is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and stay a little longer.

    **Please note: Due to the layout of the property, it may not be suitable for toddlers or infants.
