Calypso is a unique midcentury modern beach house that has been lovingly styled to evoke a nostalgic sense of the 1960s. The house retains many of its modernist features and has been furnished with mid-century pieces, original artworks and quality linen—a nostalgic retreat where nature, design and comfort combine. Calypso is perfectly located overlooking Georges Bay in St Helens. It is a 2 minute walk to the water’s edge, a 15 minute stroll into town and a 20 minute drive to the iconic Bay of Fires which was named the best beach in Australia in 2025. Calypso is set up for one or two couples. It has two bedrooms, two living areas, fully equipped character kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a large laundry. A large back deck with Weber BBQ overlooks the native gardens and is perfect for alfresco dining. The front balcony has views through the trees to Georges Bay and catches the morning sun. The wood heater keeps the house cosy in winter and the air conditioner keeps things cool in summer. The 75" smart TV will satisfy the most avid movie fan and the record player brings in those retro vibes. There is also a storage shed for bikes, boards and rods. Everything is here for a relaxing holiday. There is nothing more to do except pack your bags and check-in!
