Twickenham

Property Description

Twickenham is a newly renovated and painted beach house nestled into the Burleigh Hill, backing onto the Burleigh Heads National Park.

It is the ideal family beach holiday house, with 4 bedrooms that can sleep up to 10 people, and is perfect for entertaining with 3 separate areas, a bbq area and front and rear decks.

It has a fireplace in the lounge room which is very relaxing during the winter months.

Twickenham is a comfortable and relaxed beach house in very quiet surroundings, in a section entitled `The Golden Triangle¿, with no highrise allowed in the area.

With the elevation of the house it gets lovely cool sea breezes, although each room has ceiling fans.

The house is situated on one 16 perch (480ha) block with an adjoining vacant grassed 16 perch block as part of the property.

This provides privacy, a grassed area for the kids to play, as well as providing a level paved area with an outdoor wood fired BBQ area, with seating. Lots of firewood supplied.

Kookaburras frequently perch on the back deck to be hand fed and brush turkeys venture from the National Park through the property looking for a feed.

The house is ideal for entertaining with a large outdoor deck at the entrance to the house as well as the outdoor BBQ area a few steps away.

The house is a relaxed 5 minute stroll to the work famous Burleigh Heads headland and beach.

Whilst Burleigh Point is a well known and popular surfing headland (surfboards/skis & body boards) slightly further north is the popular and safe patrolled family beach.

Directly across the road from the house is the 27ha Burleigh Heads National Park which embraces a wild national headland in the heart of the Gold Coast.

Accessible through the National Park, due south from the house is the ocean entrance to the Tallebudgera Creek.

This area of the Creek (5 minutes walk through a well established walking trail) is home to Echo beach and Sandy Cove ¿ two beautiful still water swimming spots. These are not patrolled but across the Tallebudgera Creek Bridge is a patrolled still water beach.

Guest Comments:

What a breath of fresh air to be able to stay in a property where you can feel right at home the minute you open the front door. Twickenham provided our family with a wonderful coastal beach holiday. The relaxed surroundings with friendly kookaburras and roaming bush turkeys, the beach and shops less than 10 minutes walk away and a National Park at your front door ,what more could you ask for in sunny Queensland ! Twickenham's superb location and layout allows plenty of casual BBQs and a restful break.

So nice to stay in an authentic beach property that hasn't been stylised to within an inch of its life.

Do yourself a favour and check out Twickenham for your next Queensland stay.

BURLEIGH HEADS NATIONAL PARK

What is now Burleigh National Park was put aside as a reserve in 1886 and gazetted as a National Park in 1947.

It is the only Gold Coast headland that is substantially in its natural state. Access via well established walking and running tracks is 30 metres from the entrance to the house. It is a 4.3lm track that winds through mangroves, traces the Tallebudgera Creek to its mouth and encompasses a climb through rainforest to a lookout high on the point looking south across the ocean to Greenmount and southwest to Mt Warning.

The Park provides an oasis of magnificent vegetation and wildlife with lots of brush turkeys, the occasional wallaby and koala, along with a large variety of bird life.
