A Dreamy Nature Escape Near Seal Rocks ~ Dog Friendly ~ Linen Provided

A stone’s throw from the majestic Seal Rocks beach and Myall Lake in Bungwahl NSW sits Wandha, a modest Australian bush paradise. Wandha is a 3 bedroom holiday home set on a 25 acre property in the stunning Great Lakes region of NSW. Seal Rocks beaches and the Myall Lake and Smith Lakes boat ramps are within 10 minutes, Blueys, Elizabeth & Boomerang Beach are within 15 minutes and the breathtaking Wallingat, Booti Booti and Myall Lakes National Parks are also just minutes away.

Picturesque views of the property can be enjoyed from all rooms of the house. The house is surrounded by established gardens with fruit trees, a harvest garden and swings for the kids.

The dining and living area open out onto a large deck with sweeping views of our private bushland 'wilderness'.

The house is a well-appointed fully furnished three bedroom house which sleeps up to six people (in total). The main room has a king bed and ensuite, the loft bedroom has a queen bed and the twin room has two king singles. A portacot can also be provided upon request.

The house has been well designed for passive heating and cooling.

A slow combustion log fireplace will keep you cosy in the cooler months along with three portable oil heaters if you require more heating in winter. The beds have double doonas which should keep you warm in bed at night.

There are fans in all bedrooms and living areas of the house.

All amenities can be found on the ground level except for a large loft bedroom upstairs.

The house has been organised with families in mind. The property is also dog friendly, so dogs are welcome with prior approval from hosts – and subject to conditions.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW PRIOR TO BOOKING

** There is a staircase leading to the upstairs loft bedroom - as pictured in photos. There is no gate to stop babies or toddlers climbing up and down the stairs.

** There are two unfenced dams on the property that are about 100m from the house. Swimming in the dams is prohibited and we ask you to be extra vigilant with children around the dams.

**Motorised trail bikes, weapons, hunting and noise are not permitted on the property.

We loved our stay in this cozy, beautiful house. The area was just beautiful, perfect distance from shops and food but also secluded and peaceful to be by ourselves when we wanted to be. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future holidays!

Great escape from city life!
Great escape from the city, nestled in an area that is close to beaches and amenities but with the feeling like your hours from anywhere due to the picturesque landscape and seclusion that surrounds the property! A place that really does allow you to switch off and get back to nature! Gabrielle was an awesome host! Would definitely stay again, a note for dog owners to keep in mind is that there were quite a few dogs roaming off leash up and down the street that the property is on and on a few occasions over our stay we did have 2 different dogs come into the property directly - whilst they were friendly enough and it is hard to securely fence acres of bush land, it does make supervision of your dogs and kids significantly more important to ensure you can enjoy the beauty of the property. Importantly, Gabrielle was a fantastic in this situation and quickly responded to my concerns, advising the neighbours of the dog being inside the property ensuring our safety. Overall a great stay!

Bush retreat stay
This accomodation is exactly as you see. Very comfortable and has everything you will need. Beautiful surroundings, the bird life is amazing. The only thing I would say is to prepare yourself for is the property grounds hold water so it’s a bit boggy in parts which brings mosquitoes. Close to beautiful beach’s.

Perfect place to recharge and spend quality time together
The perfect place to recharge your batteries. The stars were stunning at night, the kids loved the garden adventures - picking fruit, spotting animal boxes, the swings, helping out in the fenced vege garden, plenty of room to kick a ball. The perfect property to come back to after a day of exploring the local area. The lighthouse at Seal Rocks was beautiful, the Tanks Forster also great fun!

Just Fabulous!
My sister and I, along with our dogs, recently had the pleasure of staying at Warialda. Gabrielle was a communicative and accommodating host, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The property was very clean, tidy and well equipped, and looks just as it does in the photographs. The property is peaceful, tranquil, well maintained and very private, we felt we were in a world of our own. The location of the property is perfect, just a short drive to amenities, and some really beautiful beaches. Overall, I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable get away in a beautiful location.

The house had everything we needed to relax. We drove to Seal Rocks in the mornings to have a swim at the beach and would come back at lunchtime to hang out on the balcony and read for the rest of the day. Only problem was getting to the hammock first.

Great family time in a beautiful setting
We had a great break & easily relaxed at Warialda. Gabrielle was a terrific host, checking we arrived ok & had everything we needed, even after 2 days indoors due to rain. We loved making the most of the space, hammocks, fire pit & fruit trees. Our eldest daughter cried when it was time to leave. Highly recommend this beautiful place.

Little piece of paradise
My husband, myself and elderly border collie booked this stay from the photo on Stayz. On arrival the photo did not do this place justice. The property is secluded quiet and simply spectacularly beautiful…if you are looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature with the sophisticated luxury of a five star resort this is it… didnt really want to let the secret out …… we will be back hoping to make it our family holiday house…

Perfect Spot between Seal Rocks and Boomerang Beach
We arrived to a beautiful farm house surrounded by fruit trees on an amazing property in the bush. Everything you need was supplied including baby toys and timber for the cute little fire place inside the farm to keep you warm and cosy in winter. Nothing but animals and nature around you with plenty of land to explore. Only 15 min from Seal rocks and the same distance to Boomerang Beach makes for the perfect base for a surf week away. Thanks a lot for an amazing week.
