a place to gather with friends, unwind in complete privacy and embrace the relaxed rhythm of peninsula living. Morning light filters in from the north, coastal breezes drift gently through, and evenings settle into tranquil stillness.
Set within one of Tanilba Bay’s most peaceful and tightly held pockets, 34 Caswell Crescent is positioned on land that overlooks the parklike grounds of the historic Tanilba House and forms part of the original 1831 estate selected by Lieutenant William Caswell when establishing the residence, which remains one of the most significant heritage residences in New South Wales.
