Catho Cottage at Historic Catherine Hill Bay
Catho Cottage presents itself as a delightful, renovated miner's cottage with two bedrooms, nestled in the serene surroundings of Catherine Hill Bay. Encircled by native bushland and a short stroll from the patrolled beach, this charming abode offers a tranquil retreat. The cottage boasts a spacious unfenced backyard, ideal for relishing a morning coffee or savouring a glass of wine on the rear veranda.
The space
Inside, the lounge room provides a cozy ambiance, furnished with casual decor and equipped with a wall-mounted TV, DVD player, and stereo system. The first bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed, while the second bedroom accommodates a double bed and a single bed. The kitchen showcases a picturesque view of the backyard and is fully furnished with a full-size fridge, gas hotplates, electric oven, and microwave.
The bathroom comprises a shower, vanity, toilet, and a heated towel rack, ensuring your convenience. The property operates on mains electricity, supplemented by solar power, along with gas heating and tank water. Additionally, there is a barbecue in the backyard, perfect for those warm summer evenings.
Catho Cottage prides itself on its eco-friendly approach, seamlessly combining sustainability with essential comforts.
A short 10-minute drive away lies the town of Swansea, offering a plethora of amenities such as Coles, Woolworths, McDonald's, Hotel and RSL Club, and an array of food and leisure stores.
Whether you relish bushwalking, surfing, swimming, beach or rock fishing, leisurely strolls along secluded shores, or simply immersing yourself in the tranquil symphony of birds harmonizing with the crashing ocean waves merely 500 meters away, Catho Cottage is your idyllic getaway.
