One of the best properties we’ve stayed at in Culburra. It’s cozy and it’s suitable for large families, and exceptionally clean. The location is unbeatable for beach walks, only a short walk to the beach. The beach is dog friendly with off leash from 4pm to 8am during summer, and the house itself is stunning. If you’re looking for a beach front property, quiet getaway to recharge the batteries, this is it. Thanks for having us!
This place is amazing for a quiet weekend away with direct access to the beach. The property is excellent, extremely clean and we loved the welcome gifts and personalised note. Thank you!

So glad you enjoyed your stay , and appreciate the kind comments. We like to add personal touches for those special occassions. Many thanks Helen
Excellent communication from Helen and Ian. The house was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need when away from home.. and the view from the back deck is stunning!
Loved, loved, loved the view. The rooms were very clean and house was very comfortable and accommodating for all our needs. Very pet friendly if you have an obedient dog that does not run off through the scrub, which we did.
We can’t recommend Helen and Ian’s beach house highly enough. Wonderful location on such a gorgeous beach, and the home is so well equipped with everything for a brilliant holiday. Helen and Ian are great hosts and made our stay very special.
Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. The house is terrific and our hosts were very informative and helpful. Sitting outside relaxing we saw whales and a dolphin. We had a wonderful weekend!
Property and garden was immaculate and very well equiped
Great kitchen and fireplace
View was amazing and extensive windows facing sea captured the warmth of the sun even when it was cold outside
Highly recommended and without doubt one of our favourite stays
We visited Culburra in June.Our accommodation exceeded our expectations !The house was so lovely and spacious with plenty of light filling the open lounge, dining and kitchen area which also had a fireplace/wood suppliedViews from these rooms overlooked the ocean with stunning sunrise mornings.Hosts Helen and Ian were attentive to any needs and were most informative with information to the many sight seeing /activites available in the area .We would love to visit again, thankyou !!
House had direct beach access and good views. This was the only positive aspect of our stay.

4 other guests, before and after this guest have given a 5 star review during the same 4 week period, consistent with our average 4.9 rating. One has to question therefore the motive behind this review if not the unrealistic expectations of this guest.
The property and location was better then expected, very well equipped and very comfortable. The beach is a short walk away. We will definitely consider booking again.
Helen and Ian were great host and gr at communicators. We took our dogs and it was one of the best dog friendly property we have been. Our dogs loved the location and the treats left for them. We absolutely loved the location and the view! Definitely will be keeping this on our to go back list. Thank you Helen and Ian!

Hello LeeAnne, glad you enjoyed your stay. Helen & Ian
Enjoyed a 3 night stay in this beautiful house right by the beach. Stunning views and a great location. Was the perfect, quiet holiday we were looking for. Wven better that we could enjoy it with our 2 dogs. Would recommend
We enjoyed our stay at this property located on the beachfront with a magnificent ocean view. The house was comfortable and well equipped, even down to Vegemite and honey supplied along with essential spices in the pantry. The dwelling was clean and nicely furnished and we felt completely at home, as did our puppy, Beppi. I thoroughly recommend this home for anyone looking for a beach stay within an easy commute from Sydney.
We loved our stay here with the spectacular views over Culburra Beach. The house was clean and had all the things you would need for a couple nights of stay. Helen and Ian had prepared a lovely box of chocolates for us and treats for our cavoodle Fifi which was very much appreciated by all. Thank you for having us and we look forward to visiting again.

Thank you Ashley, lovely to have you and the Fifi, glad you enjoyed your stay! Helen & Ian
Property owners Helen and Ian had arranged to leave gifts for my husband and I and our dog which was such a lovely gesture. Location of the property is fantastic. The spa bath was an unexpected The spa bath was a treat. It was very relaxing and a comfortable stay.
Listing just a bit confusing as to how much of property we were renting. All sorted after communicating with owner. Must apologise for leaving 2 dog pops on the lawn; remembered I hadn’t cleaned them up when we got home.

Access to all of the 5 bedrooms is only available via our other listing Golden Shores. Yes pets are welcome. Helen and Ian
