Additional Information
Spend your days at Bateau Bay Beach, a charming and beautiful bay tucked between two headlands and backing on to Wyrrabalong National Park. The bay is popular for snorkelling, swimming and fishing, so grab your swimmers and make a day of it.
When you’ve had enough of the beach (if that’s even possible) make sure you head up to Crackneck Point Lookout (less than 2km via The Coast walking track) and continue on, if you feel inspired, toward Forresters Beach. This stunning walk is one of the best on the Central Coast and is an excellent spot for seasonal whale watching. For anyone really into retro, take a short drive up to Long Jetty and spend a couple of hours mooching around the vintage clothing and homeware stores before grabbing a bite to eat at Modern Organic. Long Jetty also hosts markets on the last Saturday of each month and offer 130+ stores of food, fashion, local arts, produce and jewellery.
If you’ve brought doggo along for the adventure, then you’ll find a 24hr dog friendly beach just over 1km away at North Shelly Beach. Once you’ve both worked up an appetite head over to Munchas at the Shelly Beach Surf Club where both you and your furry friend will be more than welcome to grab a drink and refuel.
After a day of adventuring, head back to your retro beach house and enjoy an evening chilling out on the back deck. Fire up the BBQ, crack a cold one and lounge the evening away on the comfy outdoor setting. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a storm, but if you prefer to eat out then there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs within walking distance or a short drive.

Retro Vibes was a great place to stay. Everything you might need for a long weekend was at hand packages into this thoughtfully styled home.
The beach is within a couple of minutes walk and a few easy bush walking trails even closer. Quiet, relaxing, retro cool.
Would highly recommend!

Bateau Bay Beach
There are a bunch of spots around this area to watch the sunset and the moonrise, we decided on taking a couple of drinks down to Bateau Bay Beach. The perfect spot with a bunch of little pockets to settle in for a cosy early evening amongst the moon and stars.
Sun Soaking At Shelly Beach
One of the favourite beaches in the local area. We spent a sun-filled afternoon on the beach with a light swim and a few drinks. There are a number of access points and spots to pull out the picnic rug for a good day by the sea.
The Best Hot Chocolate Ever At The Green Tangerine
The Green Tangerine is a gorgeous eatery. With an incredible mural down one side, the inside was warm and toasty with delicious things to eat and drink. The highlight was their hot chocolate, complete with toasted marshmallows, crumbled biscuits and whipped cream. When it came out, the look on the kids' faces was hilarious. The staff are super friendly and the food was delicious; think waffles, or home-baked Mexican beans and toast with a great selection of pastries and good coffee, though the winner was absolutely the hot chocolate, hands down.
Stocking Up At Burnt Honey Pantry
We wandered along the street looking at gorgeous shop fronts until we found one that stood out. We popped in and it was a cornucopia of treats. The breads, pastries, sandwiches and cookies all smelled divine. The lady running it was lovely and there were lots of great little features the pantry had that added so much character. The cats on the shelf were my favourite.
Sunset Walk Along Long Jetty
Experience the most beautiful sunsets at Long Jetty. The sun sets over the water, so it's a great spot for an afternoon walk to experience the scenic surrounds.
Swimming And Surfing
The beautiful Toowoon Bay Beach is picturesque spot for swimming, surfing and snorkelling. The beach is patrolled and curves 700 metres along the coast. Little Bay Beach is a popular spot where gentle waves roll into shore.
