A private pool — and a sauna most houses don't have
No shared resort pool, no time limits: the outdoor pool at Watonga Coastal Retreat is yours for the stay, set in a fully fenced backyard beside the covered entertaining area. Two large outdoor dining tables, an outdoor lounge and a Webber BBQ mean the adults are comfortable while the kids are in the water. Indoors, an indoor sauna is available too — a genuinely uncommon amenity for a private holiday house rather than a hotel spa.
Pool days, sauna nights — the honest fine print
The pool is not heated, so it's at its best through the warmer months. In the cooler ones, the indoor sauna picks up the slack — yours for the stay, no time limits, no sharing with strangers.
As always around water: please supervise children at all times.
And the beach when you want it
When the pool novelty briefly wears off, Lighthouse Beach is a 180-metre walk, with the local café strip around the corner for the post-swim coffee run.
Pool, patio and sauna
Everyone dries off and heads to one of four bedrooms and six beds, with three bathrooms between them. The room-by-room layout is on the house page. See the house page or what’s around Lighthouse Beach.
Pool and sauna — the practical bits
- Is the pool area enclosed?
- The pool sits within the fully fenced backyard, right beside the covered entertaining area. Children still need an adult watching whenever they're near the water.
- Can we swim in winter?
- The pool is unheated, so realistically it's a warm-months pool. Winter stays get the indoor sauna instead — a fair trade most guests don't expect from a house.
- How does the sauna work?
- It's an indoor sauna for guest use throughout the stay. The operating guidelines are in the guest guide waiting at the house.
- What's around the pool?
- A fully covered entertaining area with two big dining tables, an outdoor lounge setting and a Webber BBQ — lunch happens outside without anyone getting sunburnt.
