Relax, Entertain, and Unwind at La Balena – Coastal Comfort Steps from Whale Beach!

About this listing

Welcome to La Balena, the ultimate family entertainer and poolside sanctuary, perfectly positioned in exclusive Whale Beach with breathtaking ocean views just across the road. Newly renovated and beautifully styled, this coastal retreat blends relaxed luxury with laid-back beach house charm, making it ideal for family holidays, weekend escapes, or restorative getaways.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s warm coastal aesthetic and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a truly effortless stay. The entry level features open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces designed for easy entertaining, along with a master bedroom with a king bed and an ensuite, plus two additional queen bedrooms and a second bathroom. All bedrooms on this level are fitted with split system air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Upstairs, a loft-style retreat provides a dedicated kids’ zone with three single beds and its own air conditioning, offering older children a private and fun space to unwind. Downstairs, a spacious rumpus room complete with bean bags and air conditioning creates a second living area for children and teens. This level also includes a fifth bedroom, third bathroom, laundry, and a bunk room featuring a tri-bunk and additional bunk beds — thoughtfully designed as a dedicated teenage retreat.

Outdoors, La Balena truly shines as a private resort-style escape. The expansive pool deck is perfect for long summer days, complete with a full-sized swimming pool, a cabana with a wood-fired pizza oven, and a stylish outdoor bar with a wine fridge. A convenient poolside bathroom and shower add to the effortless holiday experience, while landscaped garden areas provide additional space for relaxation and play.

Multiple indoor and outdoor living zones ensure there is room for everyone to unwind, while the level front lawn, gated access, BBQ area, and long driveway with parking for up to four cars enhance both comfort and practicality.

Perfectly located and beautifully appointed, La Balena is a coastal haven where families can relax, reconnect, and create unforgettable holiday memories — a place you’ll find hard to leave once you arrive.

Please note that the holiday rental price includes accommodation for up to 8 guests. For each additional guest beyond 8, there is an extra charge of $55 per person for the duration of the stay

Good home for a large group

Robert | 18th March 2025

Our stay at La Balena was ultimately pleasant. It fit my large family and has a lovely view to Whale Beach. The downstairs area was great for children and kept them entertained.

Great home for extended family group

This house was perfect for our extended family weekend away to celebrate a mayor birthday. The downstairs kids area was just what we needed for children aged between 7 and 10 year olds, with loads of features and equipment at their disposal: pool, table tennis, indoor and outdoor basketball hoops with plenty of balls to name some. They were definitely well catered for. The living space, kitchen and dining areas were all open plan and allowed for everyone to feel included all the time.

Amazing Holiday

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing stay up at Whale Beach Road. LA Balena was able to cater for 2 x young families and multiple couples. The pizza oven was a hit down by the pool!

Wonderful home away from home

We had a fantastic long weekend with family at La Balena. The house is spacious, light and well-equipped for all your needs. A perfect place to spend time with family or friends. All beds were very comfortable, the pizza oven and BBQ were very easy to use and we thoroughly enjoyed the views over Whale Beach. We would definitely stay again and would recommend the property.

Lovely property; picturesque location

La Balena is a lovely, spacious property that caters to all your needs. You literally walk in and unpack your bags without having to worry about a thing. The views are divine and the pool is a fantastic bonus. Super comfortable beds and lovely hosts. We'll definitely return. We loved La Balena and the beachy, airy decor. Perfect for large families.

A great house for a large group!

This is a wonderful holiday house with gorgeous beach views and a lovely pool. We had a girls weekend here and enjoyed cooking together and eating at the big table. It was great for a big group with lots of rooms, comfy beds and modern bathrooms upstairs.
