Perched among the vegetation just above the beach, the home"s eastern facing, open construction intermingles with the sounds and smells of the ocean to create a unique holiday space. Organic materials, glass and minimalist furnishings allow for light to fill the space, transforming the tone of the home at all hours of the day. A raised deck with outdoor seating at the beachfront creates a natural flow between the bedrooms, living space and outdoors. The Retreat"s main level follows an open-plan style, lending itself to shared living. The kitchen, lounge, and indoor and outdoor dining flow into one another, with sliding doors and vast windows disrupting the distinction between nature and home. Stone tiled floors and wide windows utilise the sea-breeze to cool the home in the heat of summer. A gas fireplace and underfloor heating in the main living room warms the home from its core in the winter. With an inviting open living environment that echoes the sounds and smells of its beachfront location, The Retreat North Avoca provides the perfect escape.

Beautifully done interiors. Loved the under floor hearing for our winter long weekend by the beach! The cafe up the road was handy and with Terrigal restaurants just a 4 minute drove over the hill, this was a really lovely weekend getaway. We will be back for sure! ##### PAUL A.

Location is amazing and top level of house is great. Unfortunately the bottom level smelled of mould and two rooms in particular couldn’t be used. Other than that it was fabulous. ##### Anna W.

Plenty of space for two families and all the amenities you will need for a great beach stay. Little cafe and general store on the same street and lovely walk along the beach to the cafes, restaurants and calm ocean at Avoca Beach. The host was also very helpful.

Feb 1, 2015 #### Fantastic place My company organised a corporate retreat here and the place was fantastic. We were able to talk business whilst having the awesome view of the beach as a backdrop. The facilities were also excellent and the open space living area was great (the photos on the site did not do it justice). The experience was so good that we are thinking about another strategy retreat here in the near future. ##### ERICK K.

Great position, lovely decor and really clever design that allowed the house to be opened up when you wanted that "outdoor feel" or closed with a great view when the weather not so kind. Kids really enjoyed the table tennis table & their own spsce downstairs - leaving the adults at peace upstairs. We will be back! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Slovenia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Slovenia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11413-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Waterton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterton-Park-Hotels.d181753.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Osaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Osaka-Hotels.d179897.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Hockey Hall of Fame](https://www.expedia.ca/Hockey-Hall-Of-Fame-Hotels.0-l6072475-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tadoussac](https://www.expedia.ca/Tadoussac-Hotels.d9328.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Astoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Astoria-Hotels.d75281.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Olbia (OLB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/olb/toronto-to-olbia) > > [Flights from london intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxu/flights-from-london-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Spata-Artemida (ATH) to Santorini (JTR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ath/jtr/athens-to-thira) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/cun/winnipeg-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Kloten (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/zrh/toronto-to-zurich) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to New Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) ### Cars ### Packages > [Yellowknife Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Yellowknife.d4146.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Vancouver Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides)
