Listen carefully and you can still hear the breathless excitement of the Gilbert children as they arrive from town to spend long idyllic holidays at the beach. The year is 1924. Barely pausing to unpack, they skirt around the wide sweeping verandas surrounding the four-bedroom weatherboard home to race madcap across the dunes to the sparkling ocean on the doorstep of this absolute beachfront family gem built in 1884.

Look carefully now.... it has been restored and extended for you, boasting all the modern amenities and space required to holiday in luxury, comfort and old world charm. You will never want to leave.

This elevated magical waterfront home is a local heritage landmark that encapsulates the very spirit of the sea in its petrol blue and white exterior colour scheme. Renovated in 2011, the home now offers 4/5 bedrooms (main with luxurious ensuite and WIR), 3 bathrooms with in floor heating, 4 indoor living/dining areas, modern open plan kitchen with European appliances, Large beach friendly laundry, Study, heated in ground pool, upstairs rumpus and balcony, reverse cycle air conditioning and heated polished concrete floors. In the winter, open fireplaces add ambience to the ever-changing uninterrupted sweeping ocean views that project south across the grange jetty to Port Stanvac and North as far as Yorke Peninsula.

The lifestyle here at Jarrah Cottage you will never forget. Walk or run the beach in the morning, before or after fishing.
