Beachfront in the literal sense: the house stands at Cheltenham Beach with direct access to the sand, 110 metres from door to water. Five bedrooms sit across three levels, with a pool and spa pool in a resort-style outdoor setting, a poolside barbecue, and a fire pit for the evenings. The ground floor is given over to break-out space for children and teenagers. Sleeps 6, and best for a family that wants the beach as the daily default rather than the outing. The house works in levels. The ground floor is the loose, informal one, with break-out spaces where kids and teens can spread out without leaving the household; the levels above hold the main living areas and take the water views. The main bedroom gets the best of them, a picture window running straight over the sand, so the state of the tide is the first thing you learn each morning.



The space

The levels sort themselves. Outside is the resort: pool, spa pool, sunken lounge, poolside barbecue, and a fire pit where the evenings drift. The lawn runs to direct beach access, and the shoreline does the rest. • Five bedrooms: two queens, one double, two singles

Good to know

Absolute beachfront on Cheltenham Beach, a rare position where the lawn ends at the sand and every day runs on beach time. Resort-style amenities at home, room for the whole family across three levels, and water views from the main living spaces. Peaceful and prestigious, yet quietly connected to Devonport village and the ferry. Stays longer than one month include a compulsory professional clean ($200), added to your bill.
