Two expansive decks - one each side of the house, allow guests to enjoy outdoor living all day long. The evening meals can be cooked either outside on the BBQ or in the fully equipped kitchen and you can dine al fresco on the 10 seater outdoor table and chairs. This area also boasts a hot tub with bluetooth speakers so you can while away the evening.

Inside there are two superb spaces for you to relax; the main lounge that showcases stunning bespoke stained glass panels that are back-lit to create a beautiful, illuminated ambience. In this space is a huge comfortable couch to sit and chat or relax with a book. In winter, the wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, inviting space. The second space is a media room furnished with a large smart TV with a U shaped couch that can accommodate everyone for a movie night and also doubles as a optional pull out double bed. The stylish media cabinet also holds traditional family games for you to use.

Okains Bay Beach is a unspoilt pristine stretch of beach that offers safe swimming without the crowds. Located a short, three minute drive from the house, you can enjoy a day at the beach without worrying about forgetting something as it is a quick drive back.
For most of the year, the Okains bay dairy is open and just a stroll down the road to get that well deserved treat! For an immersive cultural experience, the Okains Bay Museum is fascinating and only 5 minutes walk away.

A really great property with all the amenities you could need. We used the outdoor spa every night, and what a special tranquil vibe with stars and birdsong. A perfect spot for relaxing and revitalising the spirits.

Family getaway

Beautiful house with everything you need. Very modern, clean and tidy with great communication. Although it is very close to the beach, we loved relaxing in the Spa pool and having a BBQ on the deck as the house has beautiful views.

Wonderful, peaceful, getaway

My sister and I enjoyed a fabulous 3 night stay (wish it had been longer) in this lovely home with so many individual touches. The welcoming gifts were an added delight and the location perfectly suited us. Communication with Samie was excellent. I look forward to returning; we did not want to leave!

A beautiful stay

This home is significantly more beautiful than the pictures can show. It was warm, modern and has incredible art work on every single wall, even the laundry. We didn’t have good weather but sitting and reading in front of the big window with the rural outlook was bliss. The beach is incredible, totally underrated.

Amazing Luxury Relaxing Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bach and would have loved to stay longer. The interior design of the house is beautiful and we made full use of the large patios surrounding the property. The beds were comfortable and found everything we needed in the kitchen & bathrooms. The hosts are very responsive and helpful in providing suggestions of local spots to try & to buy from. Highly recommend and we hope to be back soon!

OUTSTANDING

Amazing place to stay. The house is beautiful and the interior design & features exquisitely presented. If you like the taste of 'French Rustic' then you will LOVE this place. Decking on both sides enabling you to catch all day sun. The historic Okains Bay store just walking distance down the road. There were 6 of us staying (plenty of room and space) and each and everyone raved about this holiday home. I 100% recommend staying here and I would love to come back and enjoy another holiday/break soon. Thank you Samie :-)

We had the most fantastic stay and the listing (although still beautiful) doesnt capture quite how amazing this home is. We have stayed in over 40 holiday rentals and this is by far our favourite. You have done a wonderful job of creating this gorgeous home and hope that we will be back soon. The interior and finishing touches are superb. Thanks again

One of best places you’ll find

We enjoyed four days at this beautiful bach. In wonderful Okains Bay, the bach has absolutely everything you need. A well equipped kitchen, user friendly laundry and some of the most comfortable beds (and bedding) we’ve ever used. The home is thoughtfully furnished and worked well for my husband and myself, my mother and our child. There was plenty of space. Warm and welcoming the house would be great for a long or short stay. And the spa and outside areas where an absolute bonus. Thank you for a marvellous stay!

Surprise and Delight

From the moment you drive through the gate , this house impresses. Inside was even further more delightful! Perfect for our family of 7 adults and the design of the house creates space & gathering areas that were perfect to feel we weren’t in each other’s way. Modern. Great utilities . Decks for Sun all day and fab outdoor furniture. This house was pure bliss and total relaxtion. A lovely big fridge too! Being a cook & foodie to cater for 7 of us - was pure pleasure in this kitchen. Sound system and spa - icing on the cake.
