Red Beach

Indulge in a luxurious sleep-in, or take a short stroll to the beach and watch the sunrise. Splash in the pool and warm up in the spa in front of the outdoor gas fire. Enjoy a wine and admire the sunset while you watch the kids play. These are just a few of the options on offer at Red Beach Retreat, and you may want to extend a few days to get the full relaxation experience! Sit on the deck and enjoy the leaves rustling in the trees, while overlooking the kids play in the backyard play area (including gymnast rings and monkey bars to keep them challenged!) This 1 bedroom suite (with bunk room) will relax you from the moment you arrive. The kitchenette is equipped with all the basics you will need during your stay, including a full size refrigerator, bench top oven with hobs, and washing machine. There are plenty of choices to satisfy the whole family! Walk the beach or lounge poolside, play pool on the outdoor table, or swim and warm up in the large 6 person spa. Play in the yard, at the park or at the beach. Watch the giant chromecast TV and/or play board games. Perhaps fire up a pizza and toast marshmallows in the sheltered pizza oven/gas BBQ. Did someone say pizza oven!!?? This luxurious unit is very close to a beautiful, sheltered beach. There have been Orca and guests this past New Year were treated to a rare display of bioluminescence – take that fireworks! For water babies there are boogie boards and sand toys, and a skim-board for the brave.
