"Heavens waiting room."
Burraneer is quite simply beautiful. One road in, one road out means no through traffic giving that quiet, family friendly atmosphere. Parks, picnic spots and secluded beaches that only the residents know about. Not that outsiders bother looking. They're drawn to the hustle bustle and bright lights of Cronulla like moths to the flame. Which by the way is a 5 minute drive away.
