NUNYARA - a very comfortable beach house minutes away from Steppy beach

Welcome to Nunyara - a classic, comfortable beach house in a fantastic Aireys Inlet location

Built in the 1960s, Nunyara is a much-loved old family beach house. While it retains its original charm, the owners are gradually upgrading it to offer a more comfortable stay. The facilities are simple, but a recent interior update makes it perfect for a relaxed, fuss-free family holiday.

This is a house designed for unplugging. There’s no TV—reflecting a long-standing family tradition of switching off and spending quality time together. Instead, you'll find board games, a spacious, rambling garden to explore, and king parrots to feed. And with Steppy Beach just across the road, there’s plenty of screen-free fun to enjoy outdoors.

For those who want to stream movies or stay connected, Wi-Fi is available.

Beach Access & Local Tips

Best local swim spots:

Sunnymede Beach – Dog-friendly, flat and safer at high tide

Steppy Beach – Just across the road; safest at low tide, but currently rocky

Sandy Gully – Another nearby option

Point Roadknight – A lovely, safe beach

Fairhaven Beach – Patrolled, great for families

Note: Dog restrictions apply to most beaches until Feb 28.

Additional Notes

The garden is still muddy in parts; new grass has been planted but is growing slowly due to winter conditions.

The original open fireplace has been replaced with a Coonara wood heater.

If you’re looking for a laid-back coastal holiday where you can park the car and walk to everything, Nunyara is your perfect escape.
