Easy holiday living. Love Shoal Bay and these easy living apartments. Well maintained and perfect location with parking. We love Zenith Beach. The whole beach to ourselves most of the time. Great place as you have the choice of the bay, or the beach. Plus great cafes, restaurants, supermarket, takeaway and shops all within 100m. And the walk up Mt Tomaree is just breathtaking.
