So close to the boat ramp and beach for boating enthusiasts and beach goers!!

** FREE WIFI NOW AVAILABLE !!!
** SLEEPS 12-14!! **
Very modern and comfortable, very close to the boat ramp, Bay and beach!
Escape the rat race and wind down in a contemporary and luxurious house in beautiful Callala Bay. Relax with a spot of fishing or just laze about in the sun on the beach while reading a good book! or just look out to sea and catch sight of the resident dolphins as they frolic in the Bay. You may even catch a glimpse of a whale or occasionally see a sea lion sitting on the beach basking in the sun!
There are plenty of clubs in the area to choose from where you can dine out or just chat with the friendly locals while having a beverage of your choice. Take a trip to the many other exciting locations in the Jervis Bay area: Huskisson, Vincentia, Currawong and Culburra Beach just to name a few. Pick up some fresh oysters at Greenwell Point... very yummy!
Callala Bay/ Beach is a natural wonder with its white sandy Beaches and calm crystal blue waters. It is a hit with families with small children as the waves are very small. You want a beach with waves you say, no problems, just a short ten minute drive away is the beautiful Culburra Beach with great waves and live-savers to watch over you (Live savers may be seasonal only).
for the boating lovers: the house is only 250 meters from the boat ramp in the Bay! No more waiting and fighting for a spot to park the car and trailer. Drop the boat off in the water and while you have someone looking after it, drive back to the house and leave the car and trailer in the driveway and simply walk back to the boat ramp, you'll be laughing at all the other holiday-makers grinding their teeth fighting for a spot!
The House: Boasting 5 huge double bedrooms, the main with an en-suite and television. the kitchen is very modern and large and well equipped for all your culinary needs. Microwave and dishwasher is also provided. there are two living areas, one down stairs for the kids with a games cabinet and a one upstairs for the Adults.

Thank you Anna for the good review, we look forward to your return.
A lovely stay by the Bay with our extended family. Lovely and spacious with enough room so we weren't on top of each other. Air con and a basic pod coffee machine would make this house perfect.
Tim was very easy to deal with and accommodating to our needs. The House is huge, clean, comfortable and functional. Pictures don't do it justice. We had 4 couples and 4 kids. There was plenty of space for privacy and for us to all be together. I would absolutely recommend this property.
Fantastic house. Very spacious, close to beach and shops. Nice quiet neighbourhood. House was lovely and clean in arrival. Easy to communicate with Tom. Would highly recommend. Only thing I would suggest is that you pack mozzie repellent, they were out in force when we were there.
Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful house. It was the perfect space for our families. It's only a short walk from Callala Bay, which was a nice fishing and swimming spot (even in the rain). Check in process was easy and communication with Tom was good.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness
Not great
Received check in information at 2:15 for a 3pm check in. Kitchen floors were sticky and dirty upon arrival and most dishes needing cleaning before we could use them. Someone elses underwear were on the clothesline when we arrived (which was covered in spiderwebs). Beer lids were found in lounge cushions, dining chairs, under mats and in the yard. Paintwork had been patched and left unpainted in many places. Bbq looked as if it had never been cleaned, so we spent half an hour scrubbing it down before we could cook on it. Front gate which connects to back yard was broken. Youngest child went running down the street multiple times because of that. We cleaned off sticky marks from the wall on our first day which weren't made by our children as they were up high. Vacuum had barely any power to it so we couldn't effectively clean up around the dining space.

Hi And thanks for your honest review, This feedback is valuable to us and although your review has been written in retaliation because you have had to pay for the tv your guests destroyed, we will still action your concerns.
I am glad to say that all you have mentioned is being actioned or already has been.
Thank you and we hope to see you again.
I enjoyed my stay here very much. Beach and local shops in walking distance made it very convenient and the house itself is large enough to fit a large family with 3 couples, nanna and the grandkids. A few little issues were sorted out with an efficiency you seldom see by the lovely property manager who was always available. This house is not a 5 star property but it has everything you need and has a lot of very nice qualities about it. A nice flat yard for the kids to play in while adults are having a relaxing bbq, 2 living area's in case tv conflicts arise, 2 bathrooms and another separate toilet made it easy with a large group. Beds are comfy, linen is nice; could do with a few more pillows but l am quite sure a mere request to the property manager would have them available if needed.
The house is attractive and well set out. There are a couple of upgrades that could be made (ie: dishwasher is on its last legs), but l am sure this will be attended too when possible by the owners.
Would definitely stay here again.
Great house! We comfortably stayed here with 3 young families. Upstairs gas fireplace made house very warm. Very close to bay (less than 5 minute walk). House is huge!

Wonderful, spacious beach house
My friends and I enjoyed an absolutely wonderful long weekend at this property. It was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, and the host was very responsive. I was particularly impressed by the very spacious kitchen and master bedroom. The surrounding beaches were absolutely beautiful and Callala Bay was barely a minute's walk away.
Thanks so much for having us - we'd absolutely recommend this property to anyone!

Callala Bay won our Heart
Just returned back from a 7 night stay staying with my two sisters and their families. The house was spacious enough for everyone to all have their own bed and we felt we were never on top of each other at all. The location was great, short walk to the jetty for the kids to fish, we even had a bbq down there one night.
After beach hopping all week, this was a great base to return to each evening to relax in a lovely comfortable living room with a champagne all gathered around freshly showered. The house facilities were great, clean and everything was there that we needed. The Callala Bay Area is really beautiful. Our favourite beach after beach hopping Jervis Bay all week was definitely Callala Beach this being a short drive from the home. Thank you to Tom who was a great host who went above and beyond and assisted with supplying our children some bikes. We will definitely be back!

Great, spacious, clean home
We had a get away weekend with 4couples, a great spacious home, a little cold downstairs, upstairs was fine with gas heating.
Tom was great with communication leading up to and day of arrival, nothing was a problem ( not that we had major problems).
I looked for many months for accomodation and nothing came close to this house.
If I could pick on anything, I would have used the bbq, but didn’t so maybe the bbq should be upstair near the kitchen during winter and downstairs in summer. But hey that’s my thought and just a suggestion.
It won’t stop me from booking again, as I said great area, great host, & great home.
Thanks again Tom and hope to deal with you again.

Amazing property, great service.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was immaculate and it slept 12 people very comfortably. Close to the boat ramp with a picnic area and playground and only a 3 minute drive to shops and cafes. The service and communication by the owner was above and beyond. Nothing was an issue. Highly recommend.
