This handsome Federation-style brick home has a quiet hillside location. Two simple but tastefully decorated rooms make the most of high ceilings, leadlight windows and polished timber floors. They share a bathroom and sitting room (with microwave and fridge), but only one booking is taken at a time. The only downside is the steep hike back from the beach.
