The space
Welcome to Willy Wagtail Retreat, a charming restored retro beach house. Thoughtfully restored, it combines modern conveniences with comfort, creating your ideal holiday escape.

Nestled in a serene cul-de-sac, you'll awaken to the sweet sounds of birds and fall asleep to the gentle rhythm of the waves.
Located in the coastal village of Carrickalinga on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula, this retreat is just a short walk from the picturesque sandy beach.

This two-story home is architecturally designed to enhance the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding nature while offering breathtaking views of the Fleurieu Coast.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, it accommodates up to 10 guests, making it a wonderful getaway for both couples and families.
The upstairs area features a master bedroom with a king-size bed and magnificent views. Additional features include split-system air conditioning upstairs and downstairs, along with ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

The retro-style kitchen, along with a newly renovated butler’s kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, 2 ovens and two coffee machines (Nespresso and Smeg Espresso), is perfect for brewing your morning cup while enjoying the scenery.

The spacious open-plan dining and lounge area offers views toward the coast. Step out onto the expansive deck for outdoor dining and entertaining, where an AMAZING VIEW of the coastline unfolds. It’s the perfect setting to sip wine and watch stunning sunsets from the luxurious designer lounges that invite you to unwind and soak in the beauty.
Enjoy outdoor cooking on the deck with a brand-new Weber BBQ, a dream for entertaining on warm evenings.

Two cozy living rooms, each with a TV, ensure there’s a comfortable spot for everyone to relax, whether watching TV or diving into the treasure trove of books available for those peaceful afternoons.

Downstairs, you'll find two king-size beds, while bedroom four features purpose-built single bunks that comfortably sleep four children. A retro Pac-Man machine and an array of board games and card games keep the kids entertained, along with carefully selected books for quiet afternoons.

A laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer adds convenience to your stay.

The fully fenced backyard is ideal for children to play freely, and small dogs are welcome (outdoors only). In the evenings, local kangaroos may pay a visit, allowing you to experience wildlife right at your doorstep.
Just across the road, the coastal bike path winds its way to the northern end of Carrickalinga, perfect for walking, jogging, or riding while enjoying the stunning views.

Explore on foot or paddle through the shallows to discover Secret Cove, a hidden gem reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

As part of the Dark Sky Community, we are dedicated to preserving and protecting the stunning night skies.

A short drive leads you to the charming village of Normanville, where you can find cafés, gift shops, the Lady Bay Golf Course, and delightful beachfront dining options.

This is your perfect home away from home, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming you to this coastal retreat.

All linen is provided for your comfort.
