Deborah
Pura Vida by the sea is a cottage refurbished with a retro vibe. A great view of the sea from the main bedroom and living areas. Soak in the outdoor bath (room enough for 2) under the stars. Lie in bed in the mornings and enjoy a beautiful sunrise then watch the native birds as they feed from the trees in the garden. Just a short 2 minute stroll down the adjacent lane to the beach where you will find a very safe swimming beach and great surfing for both beginners and advanced surfers. Take a drive along the Southern Scenic route to explore some southern scenery then grab a coffee as you stroll along the main street taking in the street art and exploring our local galleries. Finish the day with a BBQ on the deck or a meal out at one of the local eateries.
