Tucked away just north of the Gong, Wombarra is the kind of place you stumble on and never want to leave 🤩
Ocean pool? Tick. Hidden coastal charm? Tick. Bowlo with unreal views and mouth-watering Thai? Triple tick.
Bring your swimmers, your appetite, and your best lawn bowls game. This is Wombarra - quietly iconic 🙌

@pepesonthebeach turns up the charm every Sunday with $12 margaritas and front-row seats to sunset 🍹✨
From 4–6pm, their Sunset Sundays serve up golden skies, breezy vibes and the perfect excuse to linger longer by the sea. With palms swaying, windows wide open, and cocktails this good - it’s coastal living done right! 🌴
