Fantastic house and location!
We stayed two nights with a group of 12 and it was perfect. Plenty of comfy beds, close to the beach, lots of space, 3 bathrooms with showers, great bbq, board games, darts, table tennis. You could tell that everything had been well thought and designed for a relaxing holiday home.
Fabulous location a few minutes walk from the beach, Hope’s Haven was big enough for 6 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 groodles. The yard was full well fenced with great undercover outdoor area to catch a cool breeze and enjoy a bbq.The house was very clean and comfortable, I would highly recommend it. Thanks for having us Freda

Relaxing and fun
Our group had a great time here. Very spacious and clean house. The granny flat and the lawn was great spot to chill and unwind during the evening whilst we had the BBQ going on.
This place was just what we needed for 3 families. Had rooms/space and activities to handle the different kids ages of each family.
Was a short walk to the beach or the playground.
Perfect location for the sunny days, you can walk to the beaches and to the lake, and there's a bbq, and it provides plenty of leisure options for the days when you prefer to stay indoors (tennis table, darts, games area with its own fridge). Strongly recommended!

Fantastic property.
We celebrated an anniversary with our extended family at Freda's house and enjoyed every minute of it. The facilities were excellent, close to the beach and lake, pets allowed and all mod cons. The games room was enjoyed by all the grandchildren while the adults relaxed in the garden or under the porch. We would recommend this venue to anyone who would like a relaxing holiday.

Has everything for the adults & kids, awesome!
You can tell how good a holiday house is by the number of stubby coolers & wine glasses, Heaps! Fantasic.
Has all the room and amenaties needed for a great get away.
Thanks Freda & Stanley be proud of your property it is very well presented.
Had a positive experience staying at this house. It had nice facilities, was in a great spot, and was exactly what it said on the listing. Slight drawback was one of the kitchen drawers had some ants and some of the utensils were dirty and we had to buy washing up liquid, but other than that was a great time.

Fantastic coast house
We had a lovely time at Hope's Haven and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to have a relaxing weekend at the coast. The house had everything we needed and more - great kitchen, big living spaces and plenty of sleeping room plus a bbq, table tennis table, games, outdoor dining area. The house is a 3 minute walk to the beach, so we could just come and go as we pleased. Overall, excellent weekend in an excellent house.

Great big house with awesome games area.
Went down with my soccer team and loved it, great big house & awesome entertaining area. We were all cheering to find the outdoor area with ping pong, darts & space for backyard cricket. Was also helpful having a few bikes we could use to get down to the beach which was 2 minutes away. Would definitely come back, thank you Freda!

Nice house, great location
It is lovely house, plenty of room both upstairs and downs including the games room and BBQ area. Nice view good location, short stroll to the water and shops, very easy access to the beach. Would not hesitate to recommend it to everyone. Loved it!
Thank you Freda for your hospitality. Mimi
This house is an excellent choice for large families during the holidays. It is very spacious, clean, and well-equipped, including almost new BBQ stoves. The big backyard offers plenty of shelter, making it perfect for gatherings.The host’s communication was fantastic, and they provided a lot of useful tips.A few minor items to note: towels and a kitchen garbage bin were not provided, which are typically standard amenities. Aside from that, our stay was wonderful, and I would highly recommend this property!
We were a family of three generations and these times when we can all get together are very rare and special so you want to be somewhere that caters to all age groups and Hope Haven absolutely delivered. We loved the house layout that provided space for both kids and adults to enjoy their freedom ! Great location within walking distance to beach and also safe swimming areas at the lake entrance for the little ones! Was all that was promised!

Thank you for your lovely review Monique. That is all we are striving for, families to come together and making new memories with families and friends in our beautiful spot!
The property was brilliantly furnished with everything we needed for a fun, relaxing getaway - TV, well-stocked games room and kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and plenty of space for different groups to hang out. Freda is a lovely host and was very informative when communicating before and during our stay. The only thing that could have improved the place (although it's made clear in the listing) is wifi and aircon, but we managed just fine without it.
Hope's Haven had all the facilities needed to make our weekend away comfortable, memorable and fun. The outdoor playroom entertained the kids (and also the big kids!) for hours. The backyard was well kept and had a great outdoor seating area to enjoy BBQ meals. Only 1min drive to the beach and you hear the waves from the beach at night and you can also see the beach from top balcony. The family appreciated all the little touches around the house to make us feel at home. It was such a clean, lovely and inviting place. Thank you, Freda.

About the host
Hosted by Freda
Spending time on the picturesque South Coast is a dream come true for us. My husband and I love escaping here with our fur baby, who adores long beach walks just as much as we do! Culburra—our beloved ‘Burradise’—is where we relax, reconnect with family and friends, and soak up the beauty of this special place. We’re thrilled to share this slice of paradise with fellow holidaymakers and hope you love it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We visited Culburra Beach and instantly fell in love with this charming coastal town. With its golden beaches, stunning views, and peaceful atmosphere, it truly is a haven away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This is our happy place, and we can’t wait to share it with you!
What makes this property unique
Hope’s Haven sits on a generous block of land, offering a spacious backyard perfect for family fun and outdoor entertainment. Relax on the balcony as you listen to the soothing sounds of birdlife, catch glimpses of the ocean, and hear the waves crashing on the shore—it’s an instant escape to tranquility. With big, wide windows letting in the fresh sea breeze, you’ll feel completely at peace in this coastal haven. Once you arrive, you may never want to leave!
