Soak watching the sun set at Coastal Acres Escape.

Feel your worries slip away as you journey through rolling green pastures to Coastal Acres Escape. Just 1.5 hours from the CBD and you’ve arrived. Pause for a moment. Take in a deep breath of sea air. You are standing on the deck. The Tasman sea stretches out below you between towering dune cliffs. The sun is getting low, casting a warm glow over the surrounding pastures. There is no one around. Just you and the horizon. Take a sip. Fire up the bbq. Enjoy dinner with the best view in the world.
