Families with children will appreciate the child-friendly fenced backyard, a space for little ones to play freely while you relax with peace of mind.

Situated less than a 5-minute drive away, the local bowling club, shopping, and dining facilities await your exploration. Indulge in local flavors, and experience the vibrant community life that Malua Bay offers.

But best of all this home backs onto the beautiful McKenzie Reserve, inviting you to explore its natural beauty and enjoy leisurely walks. And if the call of the beach beckons, you're just a short 120-meter walk away from the golden sands and crystal-clear waters!

Very good value for the area

For a rather old property, it was fairly well maintained and was more than adequate for a family or group. It presented very good value for the area which in general is well over-priced.
