About this property
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.

The house is a great beach house and pet friendly with an 'enclosed' yard for the dog. The fence is falling over so we couldnt leave the dog outside. Good place would consider staying again if you fix the fence.
