About this property
Tallowood beachside cottage
RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD
The beach house sits on the corner of Rodley Street and Beach Street. Rainbow Beach, Bonny Hills’ main patrolled beach, is right across the road. The off-leash dog-friendly beach is diagonally opposite, just across Vinegar Creek. Slip on your sandals, take 10 steps, and you’re there! How good is that?! Watch the kids play at the playground diagonally across the street while you relax on the deck.
MODERNISED BEACH COTTAGE
The cottage has recently received some much-needed TLC to restore it to its former glory while adding modern comforts such as a dishwasher, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, all while retaining its original charm.
It features open-plan living with a relaxed, coastal beach vibe.
This is one of three original beach shacks — and the last one still standing in Bonny Hills.
The cottage has hosted many families from inland NSW and Sydney since the 1950s for their coastal getaways. Back then, Bonny Hills was only accessible by dirt road!
ROOMS, BATHROOMS & BEDS — Sleeps 2 to 6 guests
Perfect for couples, two couples, or a family.
Two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds)
Main bathroom inside
Extra toilet outside
Traditional second shower located in a separate laundry building
Beds:
Bedroom 1 – Queen bed
Bedroom 2 – Queen bed + 1 single bed
LARGE YARD
Green lawns surround the house, with native plants along the borders. The beach is literally your front lawn!
PET FRIENDLY
Furry friends are welcome!
Ideally suited to outdoor dogs or smaller, well-behaved indoor dogs.
Pets must stay off furniture and beds. At night, pets can sleep inside the back hallway or in the laundry.
Just chat with us about your needs and let us know what type of pet you’re bringing. Thank you!
The side and back yard are fully fenced.

This beach cottage is almost too good to be true — located close to the Big4 Holiday Park, yet offering more privacy and plenty of your own space.
Expect the same high standards and experience as other mySOLscape family properties.
