The space SeaWhisper@DeepBay is privately set at the edge of 6000m² of land, part of which is officially designated as a 'wetland' for a bird sanctuary, including nesting place for the endangered Swift Parrot. Various sea and colourful birds visit the property. As an absolute waterfront property, SeaWhisper offers direct access to a secluded beach (no direct public access). This charming cedar cottage, built in the mid-1960s, has been updated to accommodate modern living. The crystal-clear waters of the beach are just steps from the back of the house. You can relax and enjoy the stunning views and occasional seagull calls from your backyard, or walk around the coastline to take in the green surroundings and the gentle lapping of waves. Using the provided kayaks (please wear the supplied life jackets), you can paddle, swim, and explore the bay's clear waters. Seals and dolphins frequent the bay. The backyard has resident wallabies, pedemellons, possums, and plenty of native chickens (they have gone extinct in Mainland Australia). We also have resident wild black rabbits in the bush. The cottage features two bedrooms and can sleep up to 4 people (please refer to the bed configuration at the end of this page). The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, and laundry facilities. The modern kitchen is neat and well-equipped. Windows and outdoor decks facing the beach offer direct beach views. A small wooden shed next to the beach is perfect for afternoon tea. Ideal for a private getaway or holiday, while it can accommodate of to 4 persons, the cottage is most comfortable for a single person or a couple.
