There is a beautiful house at 91 Marine Parade MacMasters Beach. It is co-owned by the Robson’s and another family. It is set on a hill looking across the far south corner of the beach with only the native trees between you and the view. At the end of a cul-de-sac there is the life saving club and kiosk which each day brings out the locals and visitors of a coffee or drink while watching the beach goers. The house has 3 bed rooms upstairs and a bunk room down stairs allowing a total of 16 people to comfortably stay. A kitchen with a view to die for and then a well equipped deck right in front to sit out on and just soak in the sun and salty fresh air.
We had wanted an easy weekend away to share friends for some time and with a little planning the beach house was booked. Tim couldn’t make the weekend so Leah, Holly and Tara were to represent the Steele family for the weekend. It was the weekend after the Hilton’s wedding so as a little extra gift we invited them to also join us for a night only giving them few instruction on location and what to pack they went along with it and turned up to a very nice surprise.
We met up with Leah just before the freeway on Friday night and hit the road north. The beach house is a easy hour and a half drive from Syd. As we got to the end of Mt White we hit road works so off the freeway we jumped and enjoyed the windy roads of the Pacific Highway to get to our destination. We arrived about 9.30pm and unloaded the cars and settled in with cup of tea in hand by 10.30pm the relaxation had set in.
Saturday and Sunday there was lots of delicious food cooked and enjoyed countless hours spent at the beach and sitting on the deck. Afternoon naps were had by those wanting one. Often followed by glasses of wine and more soaking in of the aromas of the beach. We had planned to make it a long weekend and took the Monday off work so as the sun set on Sunday night we drank wine and were very content with just sitting for another evening. Peter and Desiree tried to come up with many a plan to stay but their work beaconed them home. They had to head but as late as possible to soak as much in as needed. Monday the beach was empty for most the time and as we sat and ate ice-creams on the beach while sipping latte’s a pod of dolphins put on a show right out in front of us. It was hard to leave the beach as the water was cool and crystal clear and just so enticing. We had an early lunch on the deck and then packed the cars and hit the road home. We were in the door before 3pm unpacked sun soaked and completely RELAXED.
