This is truly the perfect holiday setting for every age group, pet friendly and situated between a beautiful lake and two un-spoilt golden sandy beaches.

At Currarong, you'll find many more secluded white sandy beaches, dog friendly seaside bush trails and walks including gorgeous Honeymoon Bay.

National Parks offering fantastic bush walks, isolated beaches and bays.

Biking around Culburra is very easy, and there are great scenic bike tracks around the area at Jervis Bay and Callala Bay.

Back at the house you can relax in the hammock, read a good book in the deck chairs, partake in a game of table tennis or simply take in the ambience of surroundings.

Yes we ARE pet friendly

We know that your dogs are part of the family and whilst they will love the fully enclosed back yard, they are most welcome to lounge around on the timber decking and come into the house and be part of family activities when you are there. A variety of indoor and outdoor dog beds are provided, along with drinking and food bowls, a box of toys, dog beach towels. Spare collars, ID tages and leads are also available in case you forget to bring with you. There are also some lovely complementary natural dog foods, treats and shampoos to start with so your dog really knows he is on holidays!

Total gem that is legit pet friendly

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this property. So close to the beach and coffee shop. 100% pet friendly. Kids loved the games room, backyard and the hammock was a hit.Just be aware there is no wifi and mobile coverage is very very poor (like one to two bars). So you might have whinging kids. We loved the detox and spent many hours at the beach and the lake.We will absolutely be back!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

House is fabulous and incredibly pet friendly! Many I looked at listed as ‘pet friendly’ listed many rules, including ‘outside only’! Blue patch were very welcoming of our fur babies, for which we are very greatful 🙏 Everything you need is in the kitchen, and plenty of it! While the house was clean; some attention to the finer things could be done! One of our dogs got a tick which was very scary, but even vet contacts were on the fridge! Thank you We will definitely be back! We had a much needed break away from home.

Great get away with doggos

The cottage is set up perfectly for a family with doggos. We enjoyed all the little extras for dogs including the huge backyard, treats, toys and everything needed to give a good dog bath after the beach. The styling of the cottage in shades of blue created a lovely environment. Plenty of supplies in kitchen as well as space heaters and extra bedding to keep warm for winter stay at the beach. Such a dog friendly home is a rarity on the south coast and we really appreciated it!

Pet friendly for sure

We were disappointed with the quality and cleanliness of this property. It is basically a property for pets with humans NOT humans with pets. Two of our quests had to leave due to allergies to the dog hair left under beds and in corners. We don’t believe the property was cleaned properly before we arrived. Although we paid extra for linen and towels no hand towels were provided. Bedspreads smell musty.Curtains are dirty. It’s a very old property which could use a refresh. Paid a high price for the quality of this property.

Most pet friendly property we have stayed in

Loved the location and the pet friendly aspect of the house. The fences really were dog friendly and they were very accommodating of our furry friends which was amazing! The house itself wasn’t very modern and there were a lot of mosquitoes in the back yard, which also needed tending to as it was quite overgrown. Mossie coils and spray was provided but I could hardly go outside ( we might have just been unlucky with the rain or something). Overall a nice stay! Thanks

Very dog friendly

We had a very pleasant 2 night stay. House exactly as advertised, very pet friendly and owners very responsive, so gave 5 stars on that basis. Dishwasher wasn't working but we were told in advance and given an option to cancel. We were also allowed late check out to compensate which was most appreciated. Thank you.

Dog friendly but not for everyone

Great location ,big, secure yard, everything you could possibly need thought of BUT the house smelled really musky , floor had crumbs on it and there was mould on inside of windows. The curtains in front bedroom were falling apart on the blockout side leaving powdery residue on us whenever we opened windows. We had packed food to have a BBQ the first night but the hotplate had rat poo all over it so put us off. One of the outside chairs had a loose back as my daughter nearly went backwards so we've put it to the side. The grass hadn't been cut...It's a shame the property has been neglected...
