This home is huge! Perfect for large families with pets so close to the beach and had everything you could need.

our guests arrived to an unclean house which was unusual and unfortunate, they were understanding, we sent cleaners over immediately and accomodated their inconvenience at a local bar/restaurant. They took the situation in stride, as did the cleaners. Hopefully the rest of their stay was uneventful. Happy to recommend them to future hosts.

Beach Bach heaven
Great location so close to the beach. The house was comfortable and cosy. Well set out with everything you need! Great large backyard but more shade would be good.
Fantastic house. Everything we needed was there. Lovely home. Beautiful dog friendly beach. Dogs ( and humans) had ball. We definitely would come again.
Clean, comfortable and heaps of space for the family and furry friends to play and relax. We had a wonderful holiday and the house is very close to both beaches. Heather was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. Would highly recommend.
Located across the road from the beach. This is the ideal beach getaway with a spacious home to lounge and relax in. The backyard is big enough for cricket, table tennis, bbq and more activities than you can poke a stick at . Host is lovley also. Would love to stay here again! Highly recommended.

thanks Tim, glad you all enjoyed your stay! You're welcome back anytime.

I stayed with my friends for 2 nights. It was a clean house, but cold and one bathroom in the main building.
The owner Heather was a very nice lady.
Although close to beach and other facilities but still I think it is overpriced.

our property has 2 bathrooms, one in the main house and one in the sleep out.
Each bedroom is equipped with its own heater, there are heaters in the downstairs lounge and the sleep out. There is no need for anyone to feel cold. Alternatively, fans are also provided in the bedrooms for hot days. The main living area has air conditioning.
Our weekend at Heather’s home was absolutely wonderful. The space, both inside and out, was great for spending time with family. The beds were super comfortable! There are so many activities provided in the house to keep both kids and adults entertained. And it was so nice being able to take our fur-baby with us too! Location is so close to the beach. Couldn’t have asked for better. Heather was so easy to deal with and replied to messages quickly with detailed information. We will definitely be back.

Lovely home right by the beach
We stayed for four nights over Easter. The house is well appointed with lovely linen and towels and fully equipped in all regards. The living room is very conducive to staring out to sea from the mega comfortable lounges while the sea air drifts through the whole top floor from the front of the house through to the back garden. Downstairs is a large rumpus room flowing out to the expansive garden. A beautiful part of the beach with grassy headland is just across the road and around the corner is another massive beach.
This house was a surprising gem of a find! We were a group of 5 couples and few kids, bundled in for a quick 2 night stay in the middle of a very cold weekend. It was unanimous that Beach Batch far exceeded our expectations - and that the sofas might be the comfiest ones we had ever sat on! It was big enough and full of wonderful touches and added extras. The garden and garage of games provided endless things to do when the kids (and some adults) got bored of their phones. The beach was a few steps across the road and the best spot for a scramble over the rocks. Heather was so responsive when we had questions and really flexible when we needed a bit of extra time to get away on our last day. We will 100% be back!
We have just returned from a wonderful time staying at Heather’s awesome beach bach !!
We were 3 mums with our teenage kids.... and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay !
This house is awesome and has so much space ...:nobody felt on top of each other and we all had room to relax and enjoy the beautiful relaxing vibe of Culburra !
The views from the verandah upstairs were fabulous & we enjoyed listening to the sound of the waves at night !
Heather is an incredible host and we felt so very welcomed into her home ..... so many nice touches from comfy beds to beach towels ! We would highly recommend this house - definitely one of the best we have ever had the pleasure to stay in !
Loved being so close to the beach - super dog friendly yard / excellent coffee shop only 5 mins up the Rd selling great food and coffee ! Culburra is an absolute delight !!
Thanks Heather - we will definitely be back again 😊🙏🏼
Warm regards,
Polly
Our relaxing short holidays in Culburra Beach House
We were lucky with the sunny first three days in Culburra Beach .We went prawning after dark in Wollumboola Lake. It’s actually lots of fun for my boys with no any experience. Easy to hire wetsuits across the street in front of the holiday house to keep warm but eventually found they were not necessary as the weather at night is not cold in summer.
We stayed in the house at the fourth day when it started raining in the afternoon. The kitchen is equipped with all kinds of cutlery and condiments so we enjoyed our indoor time with cooking ,drinking ,playing cards upstairs and young kids watching TV and playing with pets downstairs .
Communication with host is quite smooth. She answered all the questions we asked very quickly and sent us additional pictures as we asked.

We work in a people business and very infrequently things go wrong - if this happens we will do our best to rectify the situation immediately.
