The Oceans Sanctuary. Driftwood and Dreams…

Leave the world behind and unwind in this peaceful, coastal retreat. Enjoy a glass of wine or crack a cold beer and relax into the sound of the sea. In the morning’s experience the stunning sunrise’s and at night you'll be amazed at the incredibly expansive night sky and milky way.

With easy access to great surfing and fishing spots, adventure is right on your doorstep-yet the sanctuary of the love shack will always draw you back.

Settle into a restful nights sleep on clean and comfortable beds, waking to birdsong and the rolling waves. Start your day with a coffee on the private, enclosed deck and soak up the quiet, unhurried pace of life by the sea.

We welcome you to our clean, comfortable, warm and welcoming holiday home for a relaxing place of escape in any season. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO BEACH ACCESS FROM THE PROPERTY.. Not suitable for disabled or those unsteady on their feet due to steps from the car park to the cabin.

We arrived in the dark and were already impressed with the bach. It is well-decorated, cozy, warm, and inviting. Fairy lights to the door welcomed us in. But then the sunrise in the morning over the sea exceeded our expectations. It was magic. Close to Gore and Manuka Bays, but far enough away that you felt more secluded. We spent most of the afternoon looking for whale spouts with the kids through the provided scope - a thoughtful touch.
