Awesome Holiday Base
Great place to base yourselves so you can explore the surrounding beaches, coastal walks and activities while still having the estuary in the afternoon/evening. The house was great for two small families with lots of closed in outdoor space.

Lovely house in cooks beach
We rented this lovely property for 10 days and it was perfect for our needs. The property manager Rachael was very easy to deal with and when we asked about a high chair and travel cot for our one year old she actually bought them for the house which was amazing! It has everything you need and is very well furnished. It’s less than 10 minutes walk to the beach and it was a fantastic beach for kids. Easy driving distance to hot water beach. Walking distance to the shop and restaurants in cooks beach. We had a lovely relaxing holiday. Would recommend
