Salt Shack
Bay at the back gate. Long summer light.
A waterfront shack on Norfolk Bay — swim, walk the rocks, then unwind on the deck.
Summer days start outside
Step out the back toward the bay — rock pools, a swim when the water invites you, and evenings on the deck as the light goes soft.
-
Rock pools & shore
A short walk from the lawn to layered rock and clear water.
-
Covered deck
Shade for lunch, a place to watch the bay change all afternoon.
-
Boat ramp nearby
Easy for a fish or a paddle on the bay.
A modern shack on the water
Open living, a covered deck, and that long Norfolk Bay outlook a few steps from the lawn. Sleeps a small group comfortably — light rooms, coastal quiet, easy days in and out.
