A charming two storey family holiday home with direct beach access immediately outside our gate and views overlooking Bass Strait and Cape Woolamai nature reserve. The property boasts a fully enclosed, established private garden with a timber children’s playground, multiple entertaining areas both indoors and out and is a carefully considered space of relaxation and delight for up to 8 guests. As featured on The Design Files. The space Cape Cabin is an original mud brick + timber A-frame home set in a quiet residential pocket of a wild and rugged coastal nature reserve... A carefully considered space of relaxation and delight for up to 8 guests but equally as nice as a cosy escape for 4. Our established native garden is a haven for birds, wildlife and nature lovers all year round and we regularly see wallabies, sea eagles, rainbow lorikeets and echidnas from the vantage point of our upstairs lounge and deck. Regardless of the size of your group, you will find many quiet nooks throughout the property to sit and relax and listen to the soft chatter of birds in the canopy of large native trees that surround the property. The house itself is a little bit magical... its handcrafted character and carefully curated mix of old and new give it a sense of space and cosiness in just the right measures. Although it has recently been painted and lovingly refurbished with all the comforts you will need for a relaxing adventure with family and friends, it still retains all of its original rustic whimsy and charm. Bedding, quality linen and towels are supplied for all guests and the house is fully equipped to comfortably accommodate up to 9 people.
