Please note: The cottage is currently being renovated and will not be available to book until the work is complete. Hopefully this will be by Summer 2022 and guests will be able to enjoy a new ensuite and other exciting features.
Renovated historic cottage at KALARU (5 minutes drive to Tathra beach)
Sleeps up to 6 persons:
** Main bedroom has a king size rydges dream bed
** Second bedroom has 2 single beds
** A double bed is located in a new room at the rear of the property through which the back deck and bathroom are accessed - very quiet and with lovely views of the backyard (not in a separate bedroom)
Bed linen is provided and included in the tariff. You will need to bring your own towels or we can provide them for an extra charge.
Children welcome but sorry, NO PETS.
Air-conditioner.
Fully self contained, the cottage has a full size kitchen with gas oven/cooktop, microwave, fridge/freezer (sorry, no dishwasher). Quality crockery, utensils and cooking equipment supplied. A good selection of quality tea and coffee also supplied.
Two bathrooms: internal includes shower, toilet and vanity.
A segregated external bathroom is accessible via the rear deck and features a toilet, claw foot bath and a hand-made pottery basin; with fantastic views of the back garden

The cottage is set on an acre of land and has an old style garden with mature trees and orchard. Rural feel yet so close to the beach! Exclusively yours during your stay and very private. Search the web for the cottage if you want to find out more.
Help yourself to fruit and herbs from the garden when in season
Ample off-street parking (park at the front or side of the house)
Wood is supplied between April and September
