The 3 bedroom coastal cottage has a light-filled living space with vaulted ceilings where guests can relax and unwind. There are board games and books, as well as TV and good wifi to keep you entertained.

A cosy wood fire warms up winter nights and a fire pit on the secluded front patio means guests can enjoy an evening outside. We also have the convenience of two efficient split systems, one downstairs and one on the mezzanine, ensuring comfort all year round.

Master bedroom - Queen-size bed in the unique mezzanine
Second bedroom - Queen bed
Bedroom three - King single bunk bed.

There is a newly renovated bathroom and an additional powder room.

The home has a new hot water outdoor shower with rainwater shower head, so you can rinse off after the beach and avoid the shower queue.

Had a fantastic mini getaway at The Loft! The place was very clean and fireplace set up for use. The accommodation is a short walk to Nepean Hwy for cafes and beach. Very dog friendly as well - would definitely recommend and look forward to staying there again!
