Briesta - at Seal Rocks

Escape to the divine beauty of Seal Rocks with Briesta, a quintessential original fibro beach shack - home perfect for family getaways or romantic weekends. Briesta is one of the originals and is very old - but that view is breathtaking!

Perched atop the hill at beautiful Boat Beach, this north facing, old beach shack enjoys breathtaking ocean views. A popular choice with holiday-makers - enjoy a seaside escape, only 3 hours from Sydney. Slip into a state of pure relaxation as you soak up the seaside ambiance from the expansive deck and patio. Turn off all mobile and internet devices, as we have no WiFi or mobile reception. Perfect opportunity to switch off and relax!

Can’t beat the view

Property had everything you need but the view from, and size of, the front deck is spectacular. Only downside was parking which was available but awkward especially for two vehicles. Property managers were excellent to deal with.

We loved our stay at Briesta! The location is the best; quiet, amazing ocean views, north-facing sunshine and private and quiet.The kitchen while old is perfectly supplied with all the cooking items we needed including modern oven and cook top.Comfy beds and lots of blankets.My tip for the owners/managers would be to supply an outside umbrella for the deck (my guess is guests have damaged them in the past, but I’ll bring my own next time!).We hope Seal Rocks stays quiet forever and escape the developers gaze. Thank you for keeping the house quaint and original!!
