Ocean Echoes
Let’s face it – finding holiday digs that actually work for big families or multiple families travelling together can be a real headache! Most places either cram everyone into tight spaces or split your group across different units – neither creates that connected experience that makes shared holidays special.
Ocean Echoes in Surf Beach, Batemans Bay offers something way better: a spacious, thoughtfully designed holiday home where extended families can hang out comfortably without sacrificing privacy or comfort.

Generous Sleeping Arrangements for Everyone
Ocean Echoes takes the stress out of fitting your whole crew with flexible sleeping arrangements across four well-appointed bedrooms. The property comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it perfect for extended family gatherings, multi-generational holidays, or friends sharing a beach escape.
Here’s how everyone fits:
- Master bedroom with queen bed and ensuite bathroom (perfect for grandparents!)
- Second bedroom with queen bed
- Third bedroom with queen bed
- Fourth bedroom with two sets of bunk beds (sleeping 4 kids happily)
- Two additional quality sofa beds in living areas for extra flexibility
This setup gives everyone their own space. Grandparents can enjoy the privacy of the master bedroom with its own bathroom, parents can take the other queen rooms, while kids can share the fun bunk room – creating natural zones that give everyone some breathing room during your stay.
As one happy guest said, “Ocean Echoes is the perfect home for sharing with multiple families,” which shows how well our Surf Beach house for multiple families works for all sorts of groups. No more awkward conversations about “who sleeps where” that often make big group holidays complicated!
Spacious Living Areas That Bring Everyone Together
The heart of any successful large family accommodation is its shared spaces. Ocean Echoes shines with a massive open-plan living area upstairs that connects lounging, dining, and cooking – so the whole gang can spend quality time together without stepping on each other’s toes.
The main living space features:
- Plenty of comfy seating with views of the ocean
- Dining area big enough for everyone
- Open kitchen with breakfast bar for quick meals
- Amazing 6-metre stackable sliding doors that open to the deck
- Multiple spots where different activities can happen at once
What makes this large holiday rental really special is how the living areas let you be together AND apart when needed. Adults can chat in one area while kids play in another, all within the same great space. The huge sliding doors basically extend your living room onto the spacious deck – perfect for those warm Batemans Bay evenings!
The Downstairs Advantage: Extra Space for Harmony
One of the best things about Ocean Echoes according to guests booking group accommodation is our dedicated downstairs area. This separate space includes the famous rumpus room that’s proven to “keep 6 kids happy” with everything from TV to games and toys.
This downstairs zone is a game-changer for big groups:
- Gives kids their own play space away from the adults
- Creates natural separation between different families when needed
- Offers extra indoor space when the weather isn’t great
- Works as a teen hangout separate from the main living areas
- Provides quiet spots for anyone needing a break from the group
Having this additional zone completely changes how your family gathering works. Instead of everyone being stuck in one living area, family members can spread out based on what they want to do. As one review noted, the “fantastic downstairs space for kids to share and have to themselves” was a highlight of their stay at our family-friendly house for big groups in Batemans Bay.
Three Bathrooms: The Secret to Harmonious Mornings
Anyone who’s travelled with a big group knows that not having enough bathrooms can quickly become a major pain! Ocean Echoes solves this problem with three well-appointed bathrooms strategically placed throughout the property:
- Master ensuite bathroom upstairs
- Main family bathroom upstairs with full-sized bath
- Downstairs bathroom right near the rumpus room
This smart setup eliminates morning queues and scheduling conflicts that typically plague large group holidays. The main bathroom features a full-sized bath that’s perfect for “either throwing 3 kids in at once or indulging in some spa-time yourself” – giving you practical functionality for families with young children and a touch of luxury for adults wanting to let your stresses go at Surf Beach.
The downstairs bathroom is a lifesaver for beach days, letting sandy kids shower and change without tracking sand through the main living areas. These practical touches are why Ocean Echoes is consistently rated as the best holiday house for reunions in Batemans Bay by families who understand the challenges of large group accommodation.
Kitchen and Dining: Catering for Your Crowd
The fully-equipped kitchen at Ocean Echoes has been designed with feeding the masses in mind. Unlike many holiday properties where tiny kitchen facilities make group meals a nightmare, our spacious cooking area includes:
- Full-sized fridge and freezer
- Dishwasher (absolute lifesaver for big group meals!)
- Tonnes of counter space for food prep
- Quality cookware and serving dishes
- Plenty of storage for groceries
- Good coffee making facilities (because parents need caffeine!)
The dining area comfortably fits your whole group, allowing for those meaningful shared meals that often become the highlight of family gatherings. For casual eating, the breakfast bar offers extra seating, while the spacious deck provides a stunning setting for outdoor meals with ocean views.
As one guest commented, the “spacious living areas” made their extended family stay comfortable and enjoyable, showing just how important good-sized communal spaces are when picking accommodation for extended family in Batemans Bay.
Outdoor Living: Where Memorable Moments Happen
The huge deck at Ocean Echoes deserves special mention as a key feature for large family groups. Accessible through those impressive 6-metre stackable sliding doors, this outdoor living space becomes an extension of the indoor areas, basically doubling the communal space available to your group.
The deck features:
- Plenty of seating for everyone
- Ocean views through the trees
- Great indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining
- Space for kids to play while you watch them
- The perfect spot for sunset drinks and laughs
Previous guests consistently mention the deck as a favourite feature, with one noting the “great deck to sit in the sun” as a highlight of their extended family stay. This outdoor space gives large groups the breathing room they need, letting family members spread out while still enjoying each other’s company and the beautiful coastal setting.
Practical Advantages for Large Groups
Beyond just the space, Ocean Echoes offers tonnes of practical advantages that make it perfect for large family gatherings:
Convenient Location:
Being within walking distance to Surf Beach IGA, pharmacy, and bottle shop means easy access to essentials without coordinating multiple cars – a huge benefit when managing a large group’s needs.
Beach Proximity:
The short walk to both Surf and Wimbie beaches means different family members can enjoy beach time on their own schedules, without relying on drivers or coordinating complex logistics.
Laundry Facilities:
Full laundry facilities with new appliances – essential for longer stays with larger groups and families with kids (because beach holidays = lots of washing!).
Ample Parking:
There’s enough parking for multiple vehicles, solving the logistical headache many large groups face when travelling to holiday destinations.
Baby and Child Equipment:
We provide essential items like high chairs, portable cots, and baby baths upon request – saving families from having to transport these bulky items.
These practical considerations show we really understand what makes group holidays work, cementing Ocean Echoes’ reputation as the best holiday house for reunions in Batemans Bay.
