Southern Cross Beach House is the perfect place to replenish your soul with nature’s beauty. The famous beach and lagoon are a stone’s throw from the house, making for easy trips up and down to the beach with your flip-flops, beach towel tucked under your arm and kids in tow, dragging boogie boards. Ideal for those who want to catch the early morning surf. The house offers the wonderful simplicity of a real beach holiday. A stay here guarantees a sublimely relaxing way to recharge on holiday. If you want beachside living in peace and silence, this is the place for you. – it ticks all the boxes! This beautiful and warmly welcoming beach house will give you a wonderful break from your busy lifestyle at any time of the year. Ideal for those of you who love to kayak, surf, run, swim, paraglide, fish, take long walks, picnic, splash about in the waves and of course just want to chill!

It is linked to the mainland by a single-lane bridge and tiny lanes lead between the houses down to the sandy beach. The village of Great Brak dates back to 1859, the year in which a toll-bridge was built over the river.
