Retraite Plage Illangi

A warm and cosy beach holiday retreat - if you're looking for a peaceful escape and enjoy long beach walks , swimming, fishing , and perhaps the occasional surf, this is the place for you.

The house is situated atop a hill, overlooking Wilson Promontory and Waratah Bay township in South Gippsland.

The main bathroom features a beautiful claw footed bathtub, positioned to overlook the beautiful bushland surrounds, whilst maintaining all the privacy you need.

These windows of course have large draw string blinds, if waking up with the sun is not quite your style. This room is open and light and also contains a balcony for extra opportunity to take in your surrounds.

Enjoy nature at its best - Kookaburras and Rosella's will visit you on the back deck , and you may see Deer and Kangaroo passing by. Echidna and Wombats are occasionally spotted as well.

- Other things to note

Due to the closure of the Gippsland Power Stations, during peak times (i.e. the middle of summer) we are prone to power blackouts. Mobile phone coverage can also be poor, travellers are advised to use Telstra for the best coverage in our area. This is unfortunately completely out of our control.
Each property in Waratah Bay is on tank water and septic systems.
