About this property

Whale Stay

  • Perched high above the ocean in peaceful Tathra, Whale Stay is a light-filled two-bedroom coastal retreat offering front-row seats to sweeping Sapphire Coast Sea views and seasonal whale sightings. Designed for effortless beachside living, this standalone haven combines breezy indoor-outdoor spaces with sparkling blue ocean panoramas and breathtaking sunrises. Wake up to the sound of rolling waves, take a short stroll to local dining, and immerse yourself in the ultimate seaside escape.



    The Space
