Pearl Beach Semi - 2 min to sand & sea – Wattle

🌿 Relaxed coastal living at Pearl Beach

Welcome to Wattle, your tranquil escape just 90 minutes from Sydney and only a 2-minute stroll from the sand and sea. Nestled in the peaceful surrounds of magical Pearl Beach – a place locals and visitors alike describe as one of Australia’s hidden gems – this retro-style holiday home is the perfect spot for families, couples, or friends seeking a coastal retreat.

Here, time slows down. You’ll wake to the sound of waves, breathe in the scent of pristine bushland, and feel instantly connected to nature.

Spend your days swimming, tackling scenic bushwalks, or simply letting the kids make the most of the great outdoors. Evenings are best enjoyed on the back deck, listening to the birds and the distant surf – or gathered around the fire pit under the stars.

🏡 The space

 o Master bedroom – Queen bed
 o Second bedroom – Queen bed
 o Third bedroom – 2x bunk sets (sleeps 4 kids)

🌞 Outdoor living

The highlight of Wattle is the shared backyard and timber deck, perfect for relaxing, playing, and gathering together. Each side has its own outdoor setting, plus access to a shared BBQ.

What makes it special:
• Beach shed stocked for fun: beach wagon, sandcastle buckets, beach cricket set, lawn games (Klop, Bocce), and kids’ bikes with helmets.
• Pétanque pitch in the backyard – spark some friendly family rivalry and laughter.
• Cosy fire pit – gather under the stars, toast marshmallows, and share stories late into the night.
• Outdoor hot shower – a guest favourite! Rinse off after the beach under warm water with the salty breeze on your skin.
• Pet-friendly: Small, well-behaved pets (under 10kg) welcome.

This is where family memories are made – from games in the yard and sandy toes rinsed in the hot shower, to nights by the fire and meals shared outdoors.

✨ Pearl Beach – a magical escape

Pearl Beach isn’t just a location – it’s an experience. Known for its tranquil atmosphere, lush bushland, and unspoiled coastline, it feels like a hidden sanctuary just 90 minutes from Sydney.
• Southern end: Calm, family-friendly swimming waters.
• Northern end: Widely loved as the best dog-friendly beach in the world – an off-leash paradise for pups and their owners.
• Ocean rockpool: Perfect for morning laps or safe splashing.
• Bushwalks & lookouts: Explore Brisbane Water National Park or hike the iconic Pearl Beach to Patonga track for breathtaking coastal views.
• Atmosphere: Quiet, secluded, and deeply peaceful – a place that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Amazing getaway

What a wonderful weekend getaway spot. Just what we needed to reconnect as a family including our fur baby. Marshmallow at the fire pit followed by some late night board games! So close to the picturesque Pearl beach and a shed full of things to keep big and little kids entertained. All communication with the owners was helpful and they were very accommodating with personal request. Highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back!

Property itself was as described but cleaners had not checked BBQ was clean and there were hidden dirty plates in the cupboards. Owner advised and I feel confident that this will be addressed. Fabulous outdoor area. Very close to beach.

Cosy Pearl Beach stay

Clean, compact, comfortable and convenient. This property is great for a small group stay. Weather was atrocious the weekend we stayed so we didn’t get to use the backyard or the bikes, outdoor games and kayaks but great that those are available for guests! The 4year old in our group looooved the bunk bed room.

House was nice - has everything you need. Awesome garden, kids loved the fire pit! The kids bedroom was access by the front door which was only concern - need to make sure none escape during the night :) Very quiet and beautiful area. Had a great stay!

Pearl Beach treasure!

We stayed three nights at this property and loved it! It was the perfect place and location for a beach holiday. It is clean and comfortable with a backyard and is just a very short comfortable walk to the beach. We loved it! Thank you.
