A surf pad for the grateful nomad
A soulful, carefree character home right on the most historically significant surfing beach in the country, and the friendliest. Beach-goer's paradise, high-end furniture, and a quiver of boards on request.
The home
This is a home for the grateful surfer, the kindly nomad, and anyone who just seeks happiness. It sits right on the waterfront, with a living room that takes the light all day and a balcony that looks over the park and out to the break.
It comes complete with a quiver of surfboards on request, a bodyboard, beach chairs, a Coolcabana beach tent, and a council sticker for your car. Come back from a surf, rinse off, and settle in: there's a Samsung "The Frame" TV, a record player with a wall of records, an espresso machine, and good books to see out the evening.
An offering for the grateful surfer, the kindly nomad, or those who just seek happiness. And great furniture.
Practical things are handled. A brand-new fridge with a cold-water dispenser, a new microwave, electronic blinds, a gas cooktop, and a proper kitchen you can cook for people in. White Waves is a lift building and the home is on the third floor, with a dedicated parking space in the lot and Lime Bikes dotted around the neighbourhood.
What's included
Plus the essentials: linens and towels, soap and toiletries, hangers and clothing storage, hot water, portable fans, cleaning products, smoke alarm, fire extinguisher, and a first-aid kit.
The location
One headland north of Manly, on the same ocean strip, but quieter. Duke Kahanamoku rode the first surfboard in Australia off this sand in 1915, which is what makes it the most historically poignant surfing beach in the country, and it has stayed pleasantly unbothered ever since.
The park is the front yard. Directly across the road, with the beach path running through it and down to the sand, patrolled swimming, and a break that works most of the year.
The village is three minutes on foot. Cafes, a bakery, a bottle shop, a pub and a grocer. Daily life here doesn't need a car.
The buses leave from the block. The 165X express runs to the CBD, the 199 to Manly, and the 167 to Westfield Warringah Mall, all a two-minute walk away.
Manly is a walk, not a drive. Ten minutes over the headland track brings you to Manly, the Corso, and the ferry to Circular Quay, the best commute in the city by a distance.
