On The Dock Of The Bay… Sunny Waterfront
Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay…is our tranquil designer-styled bay house. We believe it is the Central Coast’s best kept secret. At the end of a rain-forested road, our waterfront reserve retreat commands an unbeatable view over Phegan’s Bay, a little known, secluded waterway far from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to dip into the Central Coasts many activities and services. You will wake up to the romantic sound of anchors clinking, birds chirruping, immersed in lifes simple pleasures.

The Salty Dog
As seen on Ch7 Morning Sunrise, House&Garden, Inside Out, Homes to Love Au, My Favourite Stays Au & NZ, Stayawhile magazines and Sommerhusmagasinet (Europe) The smell of salt air, the sound of water lapping, the sun glinting off ripples that surround you...a feeling of peace and the world left behind.
