Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves, watch the sun rise over the ocean, get close to our Australian wildlife as the kangaroos come to graze at your back door and the friendly kookaburras join you on the deck. We invite you to share our little piece of paradise at Woodgate Beach.
Our modern, architect designed home was built to take advantage of the oceanfront position, water views and cool breezes. We offer you the spacious, fully self contained lower level of our beautiful beach house. There are two large bedrooms, both containing a 1 Queen and 1 single bed. The open plan living area has a modern kitchen, large dining table, comfortable modular lounge, wide screen TV, DVD/CD player and a collection of books and games. Large timber doors open on to a relaxing deck which has water views, outdoor dining, BBQ and sun lounges. Soak away your cares in our eye catching bathroom with luxurious bathtub and open shower. There is a separate toilet and full laundry facilities.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Woodgate is a quiet, peaceful, seaside village with friendly locals, no high rise buildings and 16 kms of white sandy beach. The mild climate allows year round use of the pristine foreshore. The township is surrounded by the Burrum Coast National Park and wetlands which provide ample opportunities for walkers, photographers and bird lovers. Take a few steps from our home to the beautiful beach which is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, walking, shell collecting, fishing and paddling a kayak. Just relax and read a book in the shade of the She Oaks, spot the dolphins off shore, throw in a fishing line or at low tide, wander up to Theodolite creek on an almost deserted beach. Bike riding is popular along the pathways that trace the shore line. Facilities in Woodgate include a small supermarket, fast food café, coffee shop, doctor, pharmacy, Post Office and tennis courts. The Hotel and Bowls Club serve meals nightly.
Come and enjoy peace and tranquillity of our beautiful area.
