Kalakau_house
There is something special about waking up here. The sound of Kookaburras, the first light over the ocean & that feeling of having nowhere else to be. Step onto the deck with your morning coffee & watch the Pacific Ocean come to life. We created this home around a love of nature, simplicity & the Wabi-Sabi philosophy-where luxury isn't about excess. Unhurried mornings.Bare feet. Salty swims. Time together.Spend your days poolside, soaking in the hot tub, walking the beach, exploring rock pools.

Boathouse By The Bay
Relax and unwind in our beautiful, unique space, enjoying the sounds of nature as you indulge in the outdoor shower in the sun. With just a short walk to the waterfront, corner store and bottle shop, you can set up the perfect picnic down by the water or at home. Grab yourself one of Central Coasts best coffee's from Empires D'lite. If you are a bringing a boat along, you can plonk it in at Kendall Road wharf and be set for the day. There is also kids parks, tennis court and bbq area close by.

Beach Position Perfect - Best spot in Terrigal
You'll be lost for words when you open the door and step into this incredible apartment. This is simply the best spot in Terrigal and the view will take your breath away. Situated directly opposite the beach and next to the Crowne Plaza, sitting in or outside, you'll be mesmerised by the north facing view across Terrigal beach all the way to Norah Head and beyond. On top of that, all the restaurants and cafes are within walking distance. 2 flights of carpeted stairs from carpark NO LIFT

The Salty Dog
As seen on Ch7 Morning Sunrise, House&Garden, Inside Out, Homes to Love Au, My Favourite Stays Au & NZ, Stayawhile magazines and Sommerhusmagasinet (Europe) The smell of salt air, the sound of water lapping, the sun glinting off ripples that surround you...a feeling of peace and the world left behind. The Salty Dog is a space that is both cosy and open to the water, a wooden boathouse for two that invites you to relax and just 'be', to go off grid and reconnect with mother nature at her best.

Absolute Beachfront @ The Entrance
One of only a handful of beachfront properties just steps from the sand and a short stroll along the beach to the ocean baths Relax in our spacious 2 bdrm apartment looking out to sea with unobstructed ocean views from the living area and balcony; level access and ⚡️Fast WiFi with Netflix, Prime and YouTube Premium.
