250 metres from the sand
If you're searching for Lighthouse Beach specifically, you already know why: it's Port Macquarie's relaxed end of town. Watonga Coastal Retreat sits 250 metres from the beach, with a children's playground 200 metres away — the car can stay in the driveway all week.
The village around the corner
Cafés, restaurants and gourmet shops are just around the corner from the house, so breakfast and the afternoon gelato run are both walking errands.
Tacking Point Lighthouse & whale season
The suburb's namesake, Tacking Point Lighthouse, is about a kilometre away with a viewing platform over the coast. From May to November, migrating whales pass this stretch — binoculars are provided at the house for whale and dolphin watching.
The house itself
Behind the location: four bedrooms and six beds sleeping up to 12, three bathrooms, a private (unheated) pool, an indoor sauna, covered outdoor entertaining, and small dogs welcome by arrangement.
