3-bed gem in Birdlings Flat with stunning lake & ocean views – a rare retreat!

We have moved the listing over to Bachcare, under Pebble Shore Haven. Step back in time at our three-bedroom lakefront home with stunning sea views, nestled in the heart of Birdlings Flat.

This comfortable and pet-friendly family home offers the perfect base to experience the rugged beauty of the area, just 200 meters from the treasure-filled beach. Spend your days beachcombing or exploring the dramatic coastline, then unwind in the evening at the bar while soaking in the officially recognised Dark Sky nights.
