Neighbourhood information

Falmouth is an exclusive neighbourhood with quiet streets and very easy access to the beach and river. We do have an adjoining neighbour approx 40m from White Shell Cottage and there are no fences between the two homes - both are private from each other & have absolute ocean frontage. Falmouth is approximately 10 minutes drive from Scamander or St Marys where the closest supermarkets, corner store and fuel stations are located. There are no shops or commercial premises in Falmouth - it is truly the most relaxing place! There is no accessible public transport to Falmouth so we do recommend having your own car. We have abundant parking at White Shell Cottage and it's right at the door. There is a gate when you enter our property.
