Halcyon on the Basin + WiFi

“HALCYON ON THE BASIN” Charming 4 bedroom waterfront reserve cedar home on St Georges Basin.

Step out from the comfortable living area to a large protected veranda with 180 degree water views, plenty of seating, plus a separate outdoor setting with BBQ.

Feel free to borrow our lovely red canoe and go paddling in the serene waters of the Basin. Our previous guests have said: “Great place, awesome view, wildlife at your doorstep.” - Peter M (Sept 2019) “Sweet cottage, lovely location. Love feeding the parrots and the whole setting.” – Shelley F (June 2019) “A lovely house with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Would very much recommend.” – Kyla B (Jan 2019) “We stayed here with our young kids and some friends with their young kids. The house was plenty big enough for us all. We sat out on the back deck and it was so relaxing overlooking St Georges Basin. The water was crystal clear and it’s a short walk down the steps to the basin. Kids swam all day, the water was so clear and the kids could walk out about 500m and the water remained only waste deep. The canoe is heaps of fun. We made good use of it. The house has everything you could ask for. Possums came up to the back deck on one night and we saw a kookaburra who kept coming back. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!” – Chantal S (Nov 2017) High Chair available. Garage IS NOT AVAILABLE.
