"Sea Shells" is a beach cottage set on one of the most spectacular strips of coastline found anywhere in this country. Located at Brooms Head in Northern NSW, this is without doubt one of the last coastal havens. With a population of only 200 and offering a wonderful village atmosphere, pristine beaches, unlimited fishing, boating and surfing opportunities combined with stunning outlooks, Brooms Head is the idyllic holiday or weekend destination at any time of the year.
Brooms head is surrounded by Yuraygir National Park, a renowned water wonderland with over 60km of isolated untouched coastline, quiet lake systems and striking scenery. However it is the spectacular natural rock headland that sets this location apart from all others up and down the coast. Also unique to Brooms Head is the large tidal rock pool located right next to Main Beach that offers superb and safe swimming for children and adults alike. The area deserves its reputation as a "hot fishing" area, either from the rock, the beaches or out in front in a boat - which amazingly can be launched straight into the surf from the ramp near Main Beach. The snorkelling, scuba diving and the crabbing are all superb here. Brooms Head is also one of Australia's best locations for viewing whales and they regularly gather in front of "Sea Shells" itself. Dolphins are seen almost daily but never taken for granted.
The recently refurbished beach house is nicely elevated and sited in Brooms Head's best and most tightly held beachfront location. The beach is a 30 second walk away. There are two bedrooms and a sleepout and the house currently accommodates bedding for eight. The flooring is timber giving a true beach house feel. Importantly the wonderful views of the ocean, headland and coastline are a real feature both inside and outside the home.
Long slow lunches on the lawn overlooking the surf after a full morning of water activities have been the norm for the current owners, either just as a family or with their invited friends who never have to be asked twice for a weekend at "Sea Shells".
"Sea Shells" at stunning Brooms Head has a timeless quality - beautiful coastal nature as it was a hundred years ago. It really is "a great place to go hide".
