IDLEWILD
|
Unwind cocooned in IdleWild’s embrace. It’s a cosy, colourful beachfront 70s shack with lots of personality. Ride one of the bikes along the deserted beach (perhaps with your doggie too) for just-shucked oysters from the oyster shack. If you’re brave enough, take a bracing dip in the surf followed by a hot bath in the dunes, and finally curl up with a glass of wine by the wood stove, listening to the waves rolling in. Set in the dunes in five acres of beautiful bush, IdleWild enjoys a stunning location. You’ll find private, relaxed lamplit comfort with a bit of heart and soul and a serious cook’s kitchen. This is the perfect base from which to explore Wineglass Bay, Freycinet and
Bicheno as well as the local wineries and restaurants, all within 40 minutes’ drive. IdleWild is at the Swansea end of the beach so only a few minutes from town. Literally a stone’s throw from the shore, idleWild is both pet and kid friendly, with gates preventing beach access from the house and one acre of fenced area immediately around the house.
