Kayak Stand Up Paddle Boarding

The house provided us with two adult kayaks and two stand-up paddle boards. We ended up having an 'amazing race' in the water against each other!

Stroll Around To Wagstaffe

Well steeped in serene small town warm fuzzy vibes there's harbour postcard views, pelicans, a great children's playground and an iconic decorated bus stop.

Box Head Trail

This specific spot was a bit of local knowledge I got from a mate who actually lives in the area. Unfortunately, we didn't have a 4WD with us at the time so we're unable to drive the whole way down the road. We did manage to park up and hike it instead which is also doable if you're up for it! Walking out onto box head was amazing, you can see all the way down to Tallows Beach and on a clear day can see all the way to Manly and Bondi.
Definitely worth a look!

Sunset At Lobster Beach

It was highly recommended to us to go and check out the sunset at Lobster Beach. It was about a 10min hike up and down a lot of stairs from the house but oh so worth it! We took some drinks down and some music and filled the air with our amazing singing.

A Walk Along Lobster Beach

Although it wasn't a particularly warm day, the walk through the bushland to get to Lobster beach was the perfect way to get outside for and explore the local area.

Stay A While At Killcare Bogey Hole

At Killcare beach I found the Bogey Hole, a beautiful and inviting giant rockpool. Daydreaming about never leaving. Floating in calm water under blue skies etc the only thing to eventually motivate leaving this living postcard was the realisation of just how much-too-long in the sun we were. Excellently tanned, salty and parched, perusing the quality eats beach kiosk, I was charmed by smiling staff, epic menu options, chatting locals, book exchange library, friendly dogs to pat.
