Picnic House, luxurious tropical house

Picnic House is a luxuriuos and comfortable home, set amongst tropical gardens in a quiet street in Picnic Bay. This beautifully designed, split level home features high ceilings and louvered windows to catch the island breeze and let in an abundance of natural light.

2 bedrooms are within the main home. The separate bungalow at the rear of the property has a lovely covered veranda, third bedroom and ensuite which incorporates the laundry as well.

Air conditioning comfort in the main living room, master bedroom and retreat.

Relax by the pool, take a dip and enjoy your holiday to the maximum.

This tropical oasis really is island living at its best, with the beach, local restaurants and cafes, and the Picnic Bay Jetty and swimming enclosure only a short stroll away.

Lovely weekender

The property was lovely and as described. The kitchen was well equipped with ample additional supplies. Location was great, very peaceful but close enough to walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. Overall, fantastic for family or friend groups and their furry friends.

The house was a great design with sleeping areas away from living areas. The pool was very well used. We found the secret track to the beach which was a big adventure for the toddlers. Best beach for young children. We had a lovely time. Well equipped kitchen. Server well used. 10stars

Peace and quiet

Fantastic spot for the 2 of us and our dog. Yard is suitable for a medium dog to enjoy free and big enough for a large dog or 2. Some spots under the fence that a small dog might escape thrpugh. Easily enough space for 3 couples or a larger family to enjoy and not be in eachothers space.
