Snells Beach Exceptional
We celebrated our 25th anniversary at this delightful property! Communication was fabulous with Shirley. This home was absolutely perfect with all the amenities needed and n the kitchen to prepare our picnic lunches for our trips north. This location provided us with many options for snorkeling at Goats Island, hiking at Whangerie Falls, beach walking at all of the beautiful coastline. We definitely rate this above a five and would return again and again.

Host profile image
I am retired and together with my husband we love being close to the seaside. We have travelled the worlds oceans in our own yacht for many years and finding this unique holiday unit right on the waters edge was a delightful find indeed. Our seaside unit has given us much pleasure for short stays to take a break and relax away from our residential home.
The sea vista outlook is a wonderful reminder of our ocean sailing years. We now like to share our holiday get-away accommodation so that others can also enjoy and have the pleasure of a total beach-side relaxing break away.

Why they chose this property

Being only a few steps across the lawn onto a beautiful safe sandy beach with its ever changing tide and seascape vista is totally unique. The property ensures the perfect magical base to capture the morning sunrises and daytime seashore vistas. The balcony and open plan living/lounge floor offers expansive all day intriguing views of the changing tides and activities. It is easy to relax in comfort within, or to take a drive out. The surrounding areas of Snells Beach are all within a small radius where spectacular beach and country scenery will be revealed from this very centralised easy care unit.

What makes this property unique

From this easy care unique fully self-contained unit enjoy the spectacular vista from the open plan unit where daily chores are a breeze with a dishwasher, wall oven and everything at one's fingertips making for a pleasant and relaxing get-away without the housework and is easily cleaned before departure. Situated at the waters-edge, alongside beautiful parks and beachside walking paths. For enthusiastic wondering, enlighten a day, go hiking on tracks in the recreational parks of the nearby bays, all just a very short drive within this magical Kawau Bay shore. Make this YOUR base to RELAX in breathtaking comfort or go out to explore the many outlying delightful beaches, villages, wineries, markets the pottery and arts. Regional Recreational parks and walking tracks give many opportunities to fill a very rewarding and pleasant day. On returning back to the unit appreciate all the comforts for absolutely total relaxation. Being a small Body-Corporate complex, the building, grounds and gardens are maintained and always kept neat and tidy. This unit situated on the white sandy shores of Snells Beach has given us much pleasure when we ourselves or our family stay and will always remain as our family holiday unit that we wish to share for others to enjoy.
