About this property

Mullaway On The Beach

Twenty minutes from Coffs Harbour and a thousand miles from care lies the quiet beachside township of Mullaway - one of the best kept secrets on the NSW coast.

Conveniently located approximately half way between Brisbane and Sydney and just 1.5 kilometres from the highway and situated a stone's throw from the beach sits your quaint, renovated historic 1950's cabin. There are no roads to cross to get to the beach, just a well maintained small reserve. Mullaway is a step back in time to a less frenetic, more relaxed era. It's the way the world should be. Bring the whole family as the accommodation and beach are pet friendly.

The Coffs coast is littered with great beaches and several of the best are right at your door. Just through the sand dune at your backdoor is Cabins beach - only known to the locals - often you might be the only souls on the beach. Take a bottle of champagne down at night and watch the moon come up in privacy. From the cabin, at the end of the secluded reserve, take the boardwalk through the palms and rainforest, past picturesque coastal views to the surf at uncrowded Mullaway beach. Arrawarra is a well known long board break and the beach is great for a family swim. Mullawarra lies between the two and it is also a great place for a surf or a laze on the beach. Dolphins are frequently seen playing in the waves and from the headlands from early May till late November whales can be seen migrating along the coast.

Wildlife also abounds on the land. Kangaroos are regular visitors and black cockatoos, galahs, lorikeets, rosellas, kookaburras, tawny frog mouths, possums, goannas, bush turkeys, echidnas, frogs and geckos also may be seen.

Clean off on the way back from the beach under the outdoor shower, picnic in the grounds, luxuriate in the tranquility, relax in the garden daybed pavilion and have a nap or read a book in the shade or play with the kids in the yard or reserve. Don't forget to look at the star filled sky - best viewed from the beach at night with only the distant lights of Woolgoolga to be seen, then fall asleep in your peaceful beachside cabin, shutters open, bathed in fresh air with the sound of the surf gently lulling you to sleep.

Only a stone's throw to the surf

Cabin's beach is metres away - direct beach access - no roads to cross. Mullaway beach is only a few minutes walk along the boardwalk. The coastal track has great views and in season you may view whales migrating up or down the coast.

There are many other great beaches nearby such as Mullawarra, Arrawarra, Emerald, Sapphire, Corindi, Red Rock, Sandy, Diggers and more.

Our stay at Maullaway was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. The cabin was absolutely beautiful — thoughtfully designed, immaculately presented, and built to perfection in every detail. From the high-quality finishes to the cosy, welcoming layout, everything felt carefully crafted to create a relaxing and luxurious escape.The attention to detail truly stood out. The space was spotless, comfortable, and filled with natural light, making it the ideal place to unwind. Every feature, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfortable bedding and peaceful outdoor area, made our stay effortless and enjoyable.One of the best parts was the incredible location. Just a short stroll to the beach, we were able to enjoy morning walks along the sand and fall asleep each night to the soothing sound of the ocean. The combination of a stunning cabin and such close proximity to the beach made this holiday unforgettable.If you’re looking for the perfect coastal getaway, this is it. We can’t wait to return.
