A fantastic location with a beautiful coastal walk to Birubi headland and beach. Views from a picture window out to the ocean. The facilities could not be faulted. Thank you Aimee and family.
Ride the camels on Birubi beach - every day except Wednesday.
See the racehorses being trained along the Birubi beach each morning.
Ride through one of Australia's most stunning landscapes, the Stockton Sand Dunes are 32km long and the largest shifting sand dunes in the southern hemisphere.
Birubi Beach is popular with the locals for walking their dogs before 9am and after 5pm each day.

Zala - beautiful property, amazing views

Outstanding property, beautifully furnished and everything you need at your finger tips. Amazing views from every window, across the road to the water and walking distance to Birubi beach and cafe. Ducted air-con was amazing after a hot day outside. Owners extremely helpful as well as providing bonus chocolates, milk, eggs and a stocked essentials pantry. A brand new build - you would struggle to find anything wrong with this home.
