With all of the town’s major attractions and beaches on your doorstep, this centrally located house is remarkably quiet and tucked away next to a small reserve and bike track.

Recently renovated, Starr Cottage has been restored to its former glory with gleaming hardwood timber floorboards, vertical panelling and sash windows, and designer lamps and tropical cane ceiling fans taking centre stage.
