Take a look inside the apartment with Batemans Bay's best views

You’d be hard-pressed to find a Canberran who didn’t have sun-drenched childhood memories of Batemans Bay. Just a two-hour drive from Canberra (with Pooh Bear’s Corner to break up the journey) the town is practically an extension of our own.

It’s not just proximity that contributes our fondness for Bateman’s Bay. It’s familiar enough to feel vaguely like home, yet the relaxed coastal vibe gives you the impression that you’re miles away from it all. 

If that sense of escapism is what you’re after, this penthouse at On The Promenade serves up waterfront luxury in spades.

Sandwiched between the Clyde River and bustling Orient Street, you couldn’t be closer to the cafes, bars and boutiques in town. But perched at the top of the recently-built OnThe Promenade, you’ll feel as though you’re floating in your own private hideaway.

This home offers 180-degree views across the Clyde River to Tollgate Islands and beyond. The views are best admired from the terrace that runs the length of the main bedroom to the living area, where you can sit at the breakfast bar with your morning coffee or enjoy a barbecue from the outdoor kitchen.

Winters in Batemans Bay are distinctly less crowded, but no less beautiful – particularly in this waterfront apartment. Cosy up by the open ethanol fire, or cook a meal in the cleverly designed kitchen with toasty underfloor heating, all while soaking up those beautiful views.

High ceilings, floating timber floors and custom cabinetry enhance the elegance of the penthouse and make it feel light and spacious. Should you ever wish to leave, the promenade below is the perfect spot for a walk, or take a leisurely stroll along to riverside to JJ’s at the Marina for a seafood feast by the water.
