Las Arenas 'the Sands', your perfect home for large groups of family & friends

Las Arenas sleeps 18 people in quality, comfortable beds. Please CONTACT OWNER to ask about ANY party you wish to have (eg Bucks, Birthday, Anniversaries) as parties are allowed however you cannot 'Instant Book' for a party as a larger Bond is charged for party groups. Any party that has not been authorised by me is grounds for immediate eviction and loss of all funds. If you have stayed at Las Arenas once before & are a repeat customer, please contact me to receive your discount as peak season Summer holiday prices have risen.

Las Arenas is a large, purpose built, 2 story house located only a short stroll to both beaches of Marion Bay. It is the perfect place to have your holiday and entertain a large group of people.

LOCATION.

The old part of Marion Bay is a 2 minute drive from Las Arenas or a 10 minute walk. Here you will find the General store which is open 7 days & provides fuel, gifts, food, magazines, bait, household goods & a selection of DVD's for hire.

The Marion Bay Tavern is open 7 days with delicious Australian dining accompanied by awesome sea views. It also has take away pizzas, a bottle shop & ATM.

The town also has a playground & tennis courts and public phone. The Marion Bay boat ramp is located here next to the jetty (the Marion Bay jetty is famous for catching the biggest squid in the State!) and the beach is a family friendly beach, usually fairly tame water with glorious white sand & rocks to explore at Penguin Point.

At low tide the right side of the beach close to Penguin Point becomes the perfect place for families with shallow wading pools, a large flat area for beach cricket!!!

Around the corner is Willyama Beach which is a beautiful unspoilt beach, with a nice wave on the reef and great scuba diving opportunities on the wreck of the Willyama (wrecked April, 1907).

Innes National Park is just a 5 minute drive from Las Arenas. There is a boat ramp at Fishermans Village in Pondalowie Bay and Stenhouse Bay Jetty is a great place to fish. The Innes National Park Visitor Information Centre is open 7 days a week.

Liked the house
I did like the house but went to have a shower and the hot water wasn’t on so 12 of us had to go to the caravan park to have a shower as we all had been on the charter boat fishing and needed a shower straight away.Also there was a lot of dead blow flies everywhere inside especially on the stairway

Very large house, great location
Great distance to Innes national park and beaches :) We liked the double showers downstairs to hose the kids down after the beach. Kitchen has plenty of crockery and cutlery. The house has paper thin walls so noise travels

Family Holiday
Not happy with oven as it was dirty. Smoke detector down stairs had no battery so it didn't work. Stains on bed covers & bed's were not comfortable. I feel this house needs some upgrades & it would be a lot better. We still enjoyed our stay. Marion Bay was awesome.
