Looking for a stylish beach house that’s so close to the ocean action in Whale Bay that you can check the surf from your pillow, watch the sunset over the ocean from your deck or walk just a few metres to the waters edge? If that sounds like a bit of you then you’re in luck with the Horizon. The panoramic ocean and surf views overlooking the bay and heading north up the coast are top notch and world class surf breaks are at your front door.

The Sleeping Situation: The Horizon sleeps up to 8 people. The main bedroom with King bed & ensuite is located upstairs amongst the living area & can sleep 2, while the downstairs bedroom has 2 queen size beds and a set of bunks sleeping up to 6 people. Perfect for groups, families where the kids are okay sleeping downstairs or even for couples would treat the lodge like an apartment just using the upstairs master bedroom and living space.
