Cottage, Holiday house, Chalet

This clean, modern, non-smoking holiday chalet has a stained weatherboard exterior with a large wooden deck for alfresco dining. A combination dining and lounge room faces the water view. The chalet sleeps 5+ with one bedroom having a queen bed and the second having a combination double-single "trio" bunk. The couch in the lounge room can comfortably sleep an extra child if desired. All rooms have ceramic tile floors except the bedrooms that are carpeted. The chalet has a fully equipped modern kitchen including electric stove with oven and grill, microwave, coffee plunger, teapot, toaster, water jug, blender, quality kitchenware and fittings plus an iron and ironing board. The bathroom has a ceramic tile shower and basin with a separate toilet. In addition, there is the convenience of free shared laundry facilities (washers & dryer), and if you wish for that unbeatable freshness, a Hills Hoist.

Kangaroo Cabin is equipped with a silent ceiling fan to supplement the natural summer ocean breezes and a shade sail over the deck for warm sunny days. A slow-combustion wood stove provides warmth for cosy winter nights. All windows and doors have screens.

The gardens surrounding the chalet are all natives and provide stunning bursts of intense gold, orange, blue (yes, really), pink and magenta throughout the year. The many birds, particularly the rainbow lorikeets and rosellas that feed on the nectar and seeds, provide added colour and entertainment.

If you wish entertainment beyond what the natural surrounds offer, there is a Sony TV, DVD, stereo CD player, a reading library, games for all ages and a family DVD collection. For evening entertainment, we recommend finding constellations in the incredibly starry night sky while listening to the serenade of boobook owls.

In any season, Kangaroo Cabin at Berrara Beach offers a variety of opportunities for relaxation in a beautiful, tranquil, natural environment. We invite you to experience for yourself a lovely Aussie seaside vacation.

TESTIMONIALS:

Lovely Easter weekend - great location!

Nice to go for a surf lesson and return for lunch.

Thanks for quality kitchenware and fittings, good books & reading lights

Very useful Visitor's Book - we explored it all.

A beautiful place to stay - loved the wildlife, waves and Mermaid Pool

Fabulous early morning walks along the beach to the rocks.

We had a lovely stay at Kangaroo Cabin ... the cabin was very clean, neat and in a very pretty spot.

Location & Activities

The chalet looks out over Berrara Lagoon (separated from the ocean by a sandbar) where you can swim, float or walk just 200 meters to Berrara Beach. You will hear the sound of the surf from inside the chalet and feel the ocean breezes scented with salt air from the deck.

There is a reason for the name Kangaroo Cabin: In the mornings and at dusk you’ll be joined in the front paddock by any number of very friendly and curious kangaroos, some large, some juveniles, and occasionally, you’ll see one still in the pouch!

The property is bordered by Conjola National Park and Nature Reserve and is surrounded by bush and heaps of safe, open community play space for kids. The land in front and behind the chalet is all community property. You may use it and the paddock out back as much as you wish - a nice spot for a friendly cricket match or football game.

The front deck of the cabin is a perfect place to relax watching the kids play or swim in the lagoon, or just gaze lazily at the brilliant sunsets over the water in the twilight. No doubt you’ll see white bellied sea eagles gliding to or from their nests up the creek or be serenaded by the kookaburras, long time Berrara Beach residents.

You can fish in the beach surf or prawn in the lagoon by moonlight. Bring a tinnie or kayak as the lagoon bends into Berrara Creek and meanders lazily through the National Park for four to five kilometres. The still, clear water magically mirrors the tall eucalypts along the shores. You’ll find peaceful, secluded spots for a romantic lunch or swim as well as fantastic photo opportunities.

Berrara Beach, just 200 metres at the foot of the lagoon, is protected closest to the cabin for the little ones, and becomes a surf beach further along. The surfing, boarding and swimming are tremendous. It’s not uncommon to see dolphins frolicking out in the surf. The beach stretches for two kilometres to the south, then over a headland called Mermaid Pool for many more kilometres of untouched beach.
