2 Bedroom House in Machans Beach

Summary:
Just one street back from the shoreline, this beachside base offers an easy-going stay in laid-back Machans Beach. Bright interiors flow into a spacious undercover entertaining area with a huge swim spa, BBQ, and outdoor dining. The fully fenced yard provides space to unwind, while the well-equipped kitchen makes meals at home effortless. With room for a boat or caravan and cafés, dining, and public transport within walking distance, everything is in place for a carefree coastal escape.
The Space:
Thoughtfully set up for easy beachside stays, this pet-friendly home balances indoor comfort with generous outdoor living. The living area is cosy and comfortable, with a three-seater sofa, 40-inch Smart TV, air conditioning, and ceiling fans creating an easy space to rest after a day outdoors. Guests can access Netflix using their own login details. A dedicated corner for kids includes toys, books, and a small table and chairs to help keep little ones entertained indoors.
The fully equipped kitchen is ready for everything from simple breakfasts to family meals, with modern appliances and handy extras including a Nespresso coffee machine, air fryer, sandwich press, slow cooker, and rice cooker. Nearby, the dining table for four provides a welcoming setting for meals and conversation.
Embracing the laid-back beachside lifestyle, the outdoor spaces are made for spending time together. The spacious undercover patio features a dining setting, BBQ, and ceiling fans, creating a perfect spot for alfresco meals. The fully fenced yard offers ample space for kids and pets to roam freely. The star of the show is the spectacular 6,000-litre swim spa, a private resort experience right in your own backyard. Jet away the day's tensions, swim against the current, or simply soak and watch the sky change colour.
The two air-conditioned bedrooms have been thoughtfully prepared for a restful stay, each featuring a queen bed, quality linen, and blockout blinds. A sofa bed can be prepared on request for an additional child. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower and contemporary finishes, while the separate laundry with a washing machine, dryer, and ironing facilities adds convenience for longer visits.
