The Wave House - Family home in the tree tops with ocean views

The Wave House in Wye River is a great base for your coastal family holiday.
Located in amongst the beautiful gum trees in a peaceful setting, with bird life around the property, and often koalas in the trees.

Recently constructed, it can easily accommodate one or two families sleeping up to 8 people over two levels in three bedrooms.

There are two spacious living areas, both with TVs, and two outdoor deck areas.
The main open plan living area upstairs has comfy leather couches, large TV, and looks out to the ocean and tree top views. The timber dining table seats eight, and there is also a breakfast bar at the stone island bench. The area is warmed by a wood fire, as well as reverse cycle heating and cooling.
The kitchen is very well equipped for all your cooking needs, has electric oven and cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, an espresso coffee machine with separate grinder, and Kfee style Pod machine.

The main bedroom is also on this level, with an excellent quality king bed, and features an ensuite bathroom with freestanding bath.

The top deck has Weber BBQ, gas patio heater, outdoor dining table and banana lounges to relax and take in the views.

Downstairs is the 2nd living area with TV, a queen bedroom, the third bedroom which has a bunk bed and a king single bed with pull out trundle. The large family bathroom has shower and vanity, there is a separate laundry with washing machine, dryer, and direct access outside to the clothes line.

All linen and bath towels are provided, bring your own beach towels.

Well behaved, house trained dogs are welcome at the property. Please don't leave dogs alone at the property, and be respectful of the native wildlife. The top deck is enclosed, and there is a grass area in the yard at the house, but it is not fully fenced.

If you are 4 people needing more than two bedrooms, please select the 5 person rate.
All pricing is based on the amount of guests staying, and beds/bedrooms used. Please ensure you book for the correct amount of guests, and confirm how many beds/bedrooms you will be requiring during your stay, so that we have accurate booking information prior to your arrival.

**A Hidden Gem by the Beach!**
***Wow just WOW*** We just spent an unforgettable weekend at this stunning house nestled between the beach and the bush, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene surroundings. The house itself is beautifully designed, combining modern comforts with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area opened up to a large deck, where we enjoyed our morning coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of nature. The proximity to the beach was a major highlight for us. Just a short stroll away, we were able to soak up the sun, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and take long, peaceful walks along the shore. The beach feels almost private, allowing us to relax without the usual crowds. Equally enchanting was the bushland surrounding the property. We loved exploring the nearby trails, where we encountered breathtaking views and an array of wildlife. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation! The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy for us to whip up delicious meals, and the outdoor grill was a great addition for evening barbecues under the stars. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided detailed recommendations for local attractions and dining. Overall, this house is a slice of paradise! Whether you're looking to unwind on the beach, explore nature, or simply enjoy quality time with friends and

Outdoor cleanliness
This property is beautiful and well maintained inside. However the outdoor area has not been swept or cleaned for a long time. The glass balustrade was filthy, thick dust covered all outdoor furniture, an extreme amount of bird droppings was everywhere. I notified the property manager via email to let them know. She said it was cleaned the day before and blamed it on the wildlife. I cleaned the upstairs balcony and it stayed in clean condition for 4 days,

Brilliant location
Property is in a good location, enough of a hill to make you feel like you’ve done a little walk and exerted yourself, but not a long slog uphill like some others. Property has everything you need, is spacious and well set up. View is lovely.
