Carinya Coastal Escapes

Carinya Coastal Escapes Story

Ross grew up on these beaches. Both sets of his grandparents lived at Patonga and Ettalong, and school holidays and every second weekend were spent swimming, fishing and exploring the national parks. When Mishelle met Ross a few years ago she fell in love with the area too, and that's when we found Carinya, high above Brisbane Water with Bouddi National Park right behind us and sunsets over Woy Woy Mountain. Every time we pull into the driveway it feels like the holidays have started, and we hope it feels the same for you.
