Pool is unheated.

Covered outdoor dining for the whole group, rain or shine, at Watonga Coastal Retreat

Room for family reunions — actually

Big-group bookings usually mean compromises. Here the numbers work: three queen bedrooms, a twin room, a double sofa bed in the upstairs living area (for bookings of 9+), and an office trundle with two singles — up to 12 guests, with three bathrooms so the morning queue stays civilised.

Two storeys give the group breathing room: a lounge and air-conditioned dining area downstairs, and a second living space with a smart projector upstairs for the kids' movie nights.

Built for shared time

The covered outdoor entertaining area seats the whole group across two large dining tables, with an outdoor lounge and a Webber BBQ alongside. Add the pool (unheated), the indoor sauna, table tennis, electronic darts and board games, and nobody's checking their phone out of boredom.

The kitchen handles group cooking — dishwasher included — and linen and towels come provided with every bed made up on arrival.

Good to know for group bookings

This is a family and group holiday house, not a party venue: events, school groups, under-21 groups and bucks or hens weekends aren't accepted, and quiet hours run 10pm–7am. Multi-generation families and groups of friends who want a great week by the beach are exactly who the house suits.

Group bookings — what to check

Does the sofa bed count toward the 12?
Yes, with a condition: the upstairs double sofa bed is made available for bookings of 9 or more guests. The office trundle (two singles) makes up the rest.
Where does a convoy park?
Driveway parking at the house, with free street parking nearby for the extra cars.
Do we need to bring sheets for every bed?
No. Linen and towels are provided and every bed — sofa bed and trundle included — is made up before you arrive.
When can the first car arrive?
Check-in is from 3pm via a key safe, so stragglers can let themselves in; check-out is by 11am. Neither is available on 25 December.

Everything else — pool, linen, parking, house rules — is on the FAQ page.
