Views from the Top is the most perfect name for this holiday home! The ocean views from the deck, lounge, and dining area are amazing! The driveway is a bit steep but when you get to the top you will be blown away! The home has 2 bedrooms, the master has a queen bed, and the 2nd bedroom has a single bed and a set of bunks. There is 1 bathroom with a shower and there is a separate toilet.
There is a good-sized well-equipped kitchen with all the necessities you will need to cook up your favourite holiday meals. The lounge has comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV, but who needs that when you have a great view from your sofa? From the lounge, you can head out to the deck and enjoy sunny afternoons with a cold drink and nibbles, a great place to relax and unwind. There is a BBQ available to use on the deck as well. The dining table has room for 6, a good option when it's a bit chilly to sit and eat outside. The home has heaters if you need them. The bach is set on a hill and surrounded by native bush. It is not fenced. It is on a water tank supply and a septic tank, so a gentle reminder to be aware of water usage.
