Bob and Betty's Blueys Beach Bungalow

Blueys Beach

Popular with Sydneysiders seeking a quiet retreat, Blueys and neighbouring Boomerang Beach (3½ hours drive north of Sydney) are both pristine surfing beaches, with precious little commercial development but a surprising array of luxury beach houses. The headland of Boomerang Point separates the two beaches whilst at the other end of Boomerang Beach lies Booti Booti National Park, a coastal reserve with scenic lookouts, rainforest walks and an abundance of wildlife. Many water activities are available including fishing, sailing and windsurfing.

The Bungalow

Arguably the hippest, absolute beachfront property in Australia, Bob and Betty’s Blueys Beach Bungalow is bursting with eclectic, contemporary style and boasts 180 degree views of the stunning beach. Owners Richard and Jo Meldrum are the founders of iconic surf brand Hot Tuna – and between them, they have created a fun and innovative two bedroom holiday house. With two double bedrooms and plenty of living space indoors and out, the house is perfect for either one or two couples.

Built with entertaining and relaxed outdoor living in mind, the huge deck and barbecue area adjoins the open plan living and dining room. Prepare a feast in the gourmet kitchen, laze in a sunlounger on the deck, walk straight onto the beach and into the surf or enjoy whale and dolphin watching from the large observation deck upstairs. It’s just a short stroll to Blueys village where you’ll find a handful of shops and cafés. Minimum stays apply over the peak season.
