Moonah Tree Beach Retreat - Is a self contained architecturally designed beach house at Rye.

All guests need to bring is their own linen and food to enjoy a great holiday in high quality family style accomodation at affordable rates.

Property Features

Moonah Tree Beach Retreat is a three bedroom, one bathroom holiday house.

The layout is open plan with all rooms leading off one main kitchen/family/loungeroom. This room features high vaulted ceilings and a huge glass sliding door which leads out to a back deck. In one end of the deck is the 'Moonah Tree' after which the house is named. The Moonahs were once abundant native trees but their number has declined due to urban development. Our architect preserved the two trees on our site, so that present and future generations have them to enjoy. The second Moonah is located at the back of the property where it affords shade to a flat area of lawn reserved for the kid's 'Tent City'. This powered and lit camp site is set aside just for the kids, as it's off limits to the grown ups. Here the kids can safely pitch their tents and camp away from annoying mums and dads.

The house can accomodate up to two small families. There is one bathroom with a shower and hip bath inside the house, plus a second hot and cold (beach) shower under the house in the garage. Guests can use the beach shower in relative privacy on their return from beach outings or alternatively backyard campers can use it as a second shower during the warmer months of the year.

Moonah Tree Beach Retreat provides safe, comfortable accomodation for guests without disrupting the natural environment. We trust you will find it a great place for you and your family to enjoy your annual holiday and we hope to see you again soon.

Please note: We now have an apartment located opposite the beach at Rosebud West. If this house is booked out, please take a moment to view our apartment. Rosebud Foreshore Apartment 1 can be found at Stayz.com/13137.
