Perfect for singles needing time out and couples who want to enjoy quality time together. This little treasure is a 10 minute walk to the stunning white sandy beach. It has a huge master bedroom, a lounge which can have a queen bed made up and an expansive porch which can also be enclosed. ‘Off the grid’ (no electricity), but comes with all the modern day comforts...hot showers, flush toilets, WiFi, solar/battery lights, charging station for devices, ice bin as a fridge & gas cooking. Imagine; ocean views, starry nights, walking the beach, swimming at your leisure, silence while reading and the smell of bush, sea and fresh air.
