This unique property is being sold to new owners fully furnished, so whether you’re seeking the ultimate vacay getaway, seaside investment, Airbnb, or a supercool pad by the beach to call home, you won’t have to worry about decking it out with new equipment.  

Pops of colour only accentuate some of the grander furniture pieces, including a navy velvet lounge, bright red ottoman, and rattan dining table.  

Crescent Head Point is a fantastic right hand wave breaking up to 400 metres in the right conditions and nearby Crescent Head Front Beach offers a variety of right and left hand barrelling waves in a combination of north or south swell directions, if that’s what you’re looking for.

It’s a popular jaunt for Sydneysiders to visit over the summer holidays and would no doubt bring ample return to the buyer should they decide to rent it out.
