Notes from the host
Sea Breeze Berrara Beach House
Sea Breeze Berrara is set in the tree tops. It has a new kitchen with Bosch hot plate and stainless steel oven. Freshly painted interior upstairs and ceiling fans in every bedroom.
You will love listening to the sound of the ocean from bedrooms and deck.
Located approximately 2.5 hours from Sydney and Canberra. Surrounded by national park, abundance of kangaroos and wildlife, it is the perfect getaway for a family holiday or weekend mature couples retreat. WE have recently fully fenced the backyard to keep the kids and dogs safe
Note: Seabreeze is not suitable for parties. We don't allow schoolies, bucks/hens weekends, girls/boys weekends. Loud music at any time.
Please note you need to bring your own sheets , towels and pillowcases.
Set amongst the trees with a large wrap around deck, Sea Breeze provides a beautiful setting for a weekend or extended stay whilst fishing, surfing, walking, boating or just relaxing. Sea Breeze is an easy walk to 3 pristine beaches (including Berrara beach just metres away) and adjoins the peaceful parklands and Berrara lagoon, metres from the backyard. The Berrara lagoon is surrounded by manicured parklands, new playground equipment, and an easy walk to access a beautiful waterway for fishing, canoeing or kayaking. It is a beautiful setting for an afternoon BBQ watching the sunset or an early morning stroll.
The house extends over 2 levels. Upstairs includes a newly renovated bathroom (with shower and toilet) and two bedrooms, one with vaulted ceiling and a queen size bed , the second with a queen . There is also an open plan kitchen with Bosch appliances and good size living/dining area surrounded by full length windows on 3 sides. A cathedral ceiling makes for a lovely airy light area overlooking the peaceful surrounds with plenty of room for the kids to play. A spacious fully covered deck with hammock, lounge and dining furniture, gas barbeque and ceiling fans make relaxing and outdoor entertaining a breeze.
Downstairs consists of another living area (with games table (accessories safely in cane drawers) TV and music system), full bathroom and two more bedrooms. One has two single beds (which easily go together - requires Q/K sheets) and the other a double bed plus a bunk. The downstairs living area overlooks a large patio, outdoor shower and fully fenced backyard.
The area is a haven for mobs of kangaroos guaranteed! A friendly echidna also makes a visit during the year and bird watching is a must!
The lagoon is paradise for children and water activities. With a few minutes back for lunch!
Sea Breeze is ideal for two families with the kids being able to have plenty of their own space while the adults relax upstairs.

Local activities
The local area offers a range of activities. Favourites include;
* Swimming, surfing, snorkelling, playing /relaxing/fishing in the lagoon
* Reading and relaxing listening to the waves
* Wildlife spotting, kangaroos, bandicoots, birds and possums
* Walking (road, rocks, beach and bush)
* Fisherman's Rock water hole, walking distance
* Mermaids rock pool, at the end of Berrara beach
* Bike riding. The surrounding national parks provide a variety of tracks from a quick trip around the lake or a 3 hour adventure to Bendalong and back.
* Fishing. The beach, lake, basin or off shore all provide great fishing. St Georges Basin has for several years now been free of commercial fishing so the catches have improved dramatically
* Boating. Swan Lake is just 2 minutes away. It is a great location for water skiing while the inlet and basin are lovely for an afternoon cruise or fish
* Kayaking. With the Berrara lagoon at your doorstep an afternoon paddle is a great experience.
* Board games and cards
* Table tennis
* Celebrity spotting ....
For dining out try the local clubs and restaurants in Sussex Inlet and the Cudmirrah General Store on Swan lake is great for breakfast and lunch. If you would like a drive the Milton/Ulladulla area has plenty on offer (Milk Haus, Pilgrims, Bannisters, Cuppitts Winery etc). There are orgnaised wine tours in Autumn/Winter Shoalhaven Tours.
There are also plenty of day trips. Take a drive to Pigeon House Mountain and walk to the top. Maybe a trip to Milton to find a cafe or art gallery or a bit of wine tasting with the ever increasing crop of local vineyards. Whale watching around the Jervis Bay/Huskisson area is also a must do.
Whatever you do, you always have the serene surrounds of Sea Breeze holiday house to come home to!
