With seafront apex windows, 3 separate sleeping pavilions surround the private, wind protected internal courtyard. Indoor/outdoor flow is maintained via garage-style glass doors. The kitchen is understated and open with gas cooking, while a combustion fireplace adds nostalgia. The house strikes a balance with a connection to its landscape. It’s forever absorbing a changing view, interacting with nature and seasonality. Constructed to age gracefully from self-weathering materials, it could have been built yesterday. From simple beginnings, the design inspiration comes partly from Balinese homes that have separate wings for sleeping, entertaining, and bathrooms. A unique position means the house is high enough to avoid distractions from the road. In the best corner of the beach, it’s protected from the wind and those mesmerising storms. With no overlooking neighbours, the house only reveals itself once you walk up the stairs for that feeling of arrival. And that’s how you can leave the world behind for a few days. At the far end of the beach, the house is on the cusp of the Sugarloaf Point lighthouse walk (a must, every time). Fishing and diving enthusiasts know the area well. For waves you have the point for friendly breakers, plus Lighthouse, Treachery or Yagon offering even more. AMENITIES Fishcakes is self contained, is full of sustainable features, and sleeps up to 6 guests. Private, comfortable and spacious, you’re surrounded by the greenery of the landscaped gardens and the national park. Cooking amenities consist of a gas cook top, outdoor Weber BBQ & microwave. Please note, there is no oven at the property. There is a freezer available downstairs for your use. The 3 bedrooms wrap around the private courtyard. A generous master loft has a queen bed, hanging space, desk, and plenty of room for a portable cot if needed. Another 2 private bedrooms have comfortable double beds, with quality linen provided throughout. Perched high on a sand dune you can stroll down to Boat Beach, or take a 5-minute walk to Lighthouse Beach. In true rural style, you’ll see a range of wildlife through the different seasons. Guests please note: Here at Fishcakes, we are connected to TANK WATER ONLY. If our tanks are depleted, there is no back up supply. Please be mindful and use the water wisely. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
