The Wave House in Wye River is a great base for your coastal family holiday. Located in amongst the beautiful gum trees in a peaceful setting, with bird life around the property, and often koalas in the trees.

There are two spacious living areas, both with TVs, and two outdoor deck areas. The main open plan living area upstairs has comfy leather couches, large TV, and looks out to the ocean and tree top views. The timber dining table seats eight, and there is also a breakfast bar at the stone island bench. The area is warmed by a wood fire, as well as reverse cycle heating and cooling. The kitchen is very well equipped for all your cooking needs, has electric oven and cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, an espresso coffee machine with separate grinder, and Kfee style Pod machine.
The main bedroom is also on this level, with an excellent quality king bed, and features an ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath.
The top deck has Weber BBQ, gas patio heater, outdoor dining table and banana lounges to relax and take in the views.

Very modern property with great views. Great attention to detail to all that may be needed truly making it a home away from home. Loved our stay which really wasn’t long enough, will definitely be back and highly recommend it for a memorable time away.
Had an amazing few days staying in Wye river, the property was comfortable, had all amenities required and the listing was accurate. Would definitely stay here again, the view was great, the rooms were bright and it was a very relaxing stay. Thanks
Property is in a good location, enough of a hill to make you feel like you’ve done a little walk and exerted yourself, but not a long slog uphill like some others. Property has everything you need, is spacious and well set up. View is lovely.

Outdoor cleanliness
This property is beautiful and well maintained inside.
However the outdoor area has not been swept or cleaned for a long time. The glass balustrade was filthy, thick dust covered all outdoor furniture, an extreme amount of bird droppings was everywhere. I notified the property manager via email to let them know. She said it was cleaned the day before and blamed it on the wildlife. I cleaned the upstairs balcony and it stayed in clean condition for 4 days,
***Wow just WOW***
We just spent an unforgettable weekend at this stunning house nestled between the beach and the bush, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more!
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings. The house itself is beautifully designed, combining modern comforts with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area opened up to a large deck, where we enjoyed our morning coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of nature.
The proximity to the beach was a major highlight for us. Just a short stroll away, we were able to soak up the sun, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and take long, peaceful walks along the shore. The beach feels almost private, allowing us to relax without the usual crowds.
Equally enchanting was the bushland surrounding the property. We loved exploring the nearby trails, where we encountered breathtaking views and an array of wildlife. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation!
The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy for us to whip up delicious meals, and the outdoor grill was a great addition for evening barbecues under the stars. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided detailed recommendations for local attractions and dining.
Overall, this house is a slice of paradise! Whether you're looking to unwind on the beach, explore nature, or simply enjoy quality time with friends and
