Lovely family shack

Set near the fantastic granite foreshore of Binalong Bay and short strolls from the beaches, this 4 bedroom shack is the real thing. Many thanks to the owners (and their wonderful bookshelf, too)!

Fantastic home in the bush

We loved this house, tucked away in the bush but only minutes walk from the beach. Every day we walked down to the beach to climb the amazing rocks and explore the area. Walking along the beach to Binalong Bay is fantastic too. The house had everything we needed, and was large and comfortable for the five of us. The wood heater does an amazing job of heating the house, and the lounge area and couch is super comfortable. All the beds were dreamy too, and we loved waking up to the sounds of the birds outside. Highly recommend this home if you want to experience 'getting away from it all' in one of the most beautiful areas of Australia.
