Location - Berrara Beach, Sussex Inlet, South Coast NSW
The property looks out over Berrara Lagoon where you can swim, float or walk just 200 meters to Berrara Beach. You will hear the sound of the surf from inside Kangaroo Cabin and feel the ocean breezes scented with salt air from the deck. In the mornings and at dusk, you’ll be joined in the front paddock by 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 – ideal for a friendly cricket match or football game.
The front deck 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. 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 swim or lunch 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 beach stretches two kilometres to the south, then over a headland called Mermaid Pools for many more kilometres of untouched beach backed entirely by the National Park. Low tide at the beach exposes intriguing rock pools just north of the lagoon with sea stars, colourful anemones,
camouflaged octopus and other marine life. The assortment changes with the seasons.
When water sports are not on the agenda, there are plenty of other things to do year round. There are great walks
and bike tracks along the shoreline and ocean bluffs as well as through the National Park. There is also a community tennis court just a short bike ride away. If you prefer, you can idle away your holiday on the cabin deck with some invited friends relaxing comfortably having a drop of your choice while cooking over the natural wood BBQ on the edge of the lagoon or in the cabin’s fully equipped kitchen. If the temperature dips, you can move inside to the welcoming warmth of a wood fire and still admire those stunning sunsets and glistening waters through the floor-to-ceiling windows. With native plantings surrounding the cabin, numerous species of honeyeaters are regular visitors. The creek provides ideal habitat for a variety of water birds such as
egrets, herons, kingfishers and ducks. An evening walk along the banks of the creek will often be rewarded with a sighting of a night heron feeding. Easter is a perfect time to see young ducklings and black cygnets. Out of consideration for the abundant wildlife, domestic pets are not allowed.
