Callala Bay has very limited properties on the waterfront and is surrounded by one of Australia's first acclaimed MARINE National Park.

There are 2 seperate bathrooms, no ensuites. From the extensive back balcony enjoy watching the bobbing yachts and frolicking dolphins. As the property is elevated you can enjoy the views but still maintain your privacy. The front yard is a lawned area with lovely gardens offering wonderful afternoon sunshine. As we are pet friendly our yard is fully fenced and secure.

The house is air conditioned for both heating & cooling. It also has an instantaneous gas log fire for your winter warmth & romantic ambience. The king, queen & double beds are fitted with electric blankets during winter. We also offer on request a portable cot, hi-chair & heaps of baby items including all linen.

We have ADLS Broadband Internet Connection available free of charge for those guest who want to stay in touch with the 'outside world'. We have 2 TV/DVD/Video viewing areas (1 for children) with the main TV having Austar/pay TV connected. We supply a large range of videos, DVD's & music CD's for your enjoyment offering a wide variety of entertainment.

On your arrival, your chosen choice of beverage ie beer, wine, champers etc, & chocolates will be chilling in the fridge. All linen is supplied & beds made, cotton sheets in summer & flannelette sheets in winter. Bath towels, handtowels, bathmats, teatowels, and tablecloths are all supplied.

We supply coffee/percolated coffee, basic cooking needs, various varieties of teas, spices, sachets of jams, honey, vegemite & peanut butter, alum. foil, cling wrap & serviettes are all supplied.

The bathrooms are supplied with soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower caps, hairdryer, bath foam & various other items ie sunscreen, moisturiser & even new spare toothbrushes & razors just incase you forget yours.

To the left of the property is a new playground which can be seen from the extensive back deck & most rooms. To the far right is the local boat ramp. We also have ample room in front of the garages to park your boat, off the street. You also have access to a double lock up garage for your cars & storage. Also to the right on low tide there are wonderful rock pools to explore & for 'littlies' to wade & paddle in.

As of July 06 we can now offer our guests the use of a deep water mooring for a small weekly charge, saves you launching your boat everyday whilst staying. A small dingy can also be organised to access your boat. As you can see by the photos on our website you can monitor your boat from most rooms in the house as all photos taken of the moored yachts & boats are taken from the extensive back deck at CARINYA ON THE BEACH.

For guests who love a game of golf we have within the area a very challenging 9, soon to be 18 hole golf course located at our local RSL Country Club, about 5 min. drive from the house. At the club, there is a 'club bistro' restaurant as well which is open for lunch & dinner. The club also provides a courtesy bus which goes past the house 10 mins after the hour starting from 4pm. This operates every evening of the week. No need to ring & book just flag it down.

For those guests who simply want to relax, CARINYA offers the perfect setting and ambience. So sit back and enjoy the complimentary (champagne, local wine, beer or port - 1 variety of your choice upon your booking) and chocolates that are provided, and enjoy the wonderful views and relaxing atmosphere that CARINYA ON THE BEACH offers.
