About this Holiday House

Perched above the 4km long sandy beach of Porpoise Bay, waves rolling outside your windows. Cast your eyes across the 180 degree view. Rain or shine you cannot lose here, the window view is without equal on this bay. Private path to the beach. Come nestle in the cosy home we call CLOUD9. Enjoy the scenic area with a heritage rich from the whaling, logging and farming pioneers of yesteryear.Swim, surf, kayak, take bush walks and view the wildlife around you.Photograph the magnificence. Snug and cosy yet intimate with Mother Nature, inviting beach and endless vistas out your windows. Dogs must be leashed, or otherwise physically controlled anytime they are outside of the crib to prevent a devastating incident. Penguins rest and nest on the property. Abundant wildlife: Wee Blue penguin hide, Yellow-Eye penguin tend their chicks, Hector dolphin frolic. Each in their season. Every day presents a new glory, boredom is not an option, yet peace reigns. Don't forget your camera. Please don't forget your beach towels.
