About this property

On the Verge - charming Callala Beach cottage

On the Verge is a beautifully presented, traditional cottage, a couple of minutes walk from the clear waters of Callala Beach. With three bedrooms (queen, double, two bunk beds), outdoor dining area, semi-enclosed outdoor lounge, and a spacious backyard, On the Verge is perfect for one family, two couples, or can accommodate two families, as well as dogs (fully fenced). Max four adults please, strictly no schoolies, under 21 yr groups or parties.
On the Verge has everything you need for a relaxing, easy holiday, with a well-equipped kitchen, coffee machine, aircon in the living area, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, flat screen TVs (one in the kids' room with a DVD player), board games, books, toys, outdoor BBQ and woodfire for marshmallow roasting and star-gazing, swings, a cubby hut, a climbing tree, range of outdoor games (including badminton and croquet) and an outdoor shower for washing off after the beach.

Callala Beach area:

Callala Beach is an easy 2 1/2 hour drive south of Sydney and 3 hours from Canberra. It is one of the last sleepy coastal villages with friendly locals, surrounded marine park and national parks.

Callala Beach is renowned for its 4km stretch of beautiful white sand & clear blue waters and is a favourite spot for resident pods of dolphins and migrating whales. Nature is abundant, kangaroo spotting or bird watching with the wake up calls of kookaburras, rosellas and sea eagles. Bring your kayaks for the beach or creek, fishing rods for the rock platform from the beach, snorkelling, sailing, boogie-boarding, boat riding, and cycling, are all popular activities. Catch the ferry to Huskisson for ice cream, fish and chips or a delicious pub lunch.

There are two boat ramps in close proximity, Myola (5min drive) and Callala Bay (5min drive).

The Callala Beach RSL is a great, kid-friendly meeting place with a cheap and cheerful menu, and a 9 hole golf course where you can see Kangaroos.

5 mins drive away, Callala Bay offers Italian and Chinese restaurants, IGA, butcher, bakery, and coffee shop.

Loved our stay here with family & kids aged 4-8. Short walk to kid-friendly beach. Quiet streets for bike riding. Little cafe down the road. Everything in the kitchen we needed to cook meals. Family friendly eat-out options within walking distance. Convenient beds set up. Great outdoor space/backyard. Trampoline. Good entertainment options. Off street parking for multiple vehicles - short drive to all your other Jervis Bay highlights. Suzanne was super helpful and responsive - check in was easy. We booked this place last minute and it had everything to make our weekend a really enjoyable, stress-free getaway.

Great family getaway

A great family and dog friendly getaway close to the beach. Suzanne was very accomodating with our extra dogs which I greatly appreciate.We all had a wonderful time and made some lovely memories.The house was very comfortable and met our expectation.We enjoyed the puzzles and games especially naughts and crosses.We did note the toilet in the main bathroom is loose at the base and may need attention. Many thanks for your hospitality.

Comfortable and nicely decorated house. Short walk to the beach.Great yard for the dog!

We were generally very happy. I may have misread the listing but I didn't realise that there was air-conditioning in the living room only. Bed rooms did have fans but not as cool. All manageable. Thank you.

Best beach stay ever!

This is by far the best beach house I have ever stayed in. It's in a quiet neighbourhood. It is a stone's throw to a beautiful white sand beach. The house itself is really well thought out. Has a lovely back garden and an enclosed outdoor lounge where you can hang your wet stuff if it's raining outside. Super powerful shower and 2 loos which is a bonus. Lovely wee verandah to sit out on of an evening and excellent wifi. Because we had our dog we had to stop in each evening and didn't get the least bit bored as it's such a lovely house to be in. On your doorstep are some more amazing beaches to explore. In terms of eating there's quite a choice of fish and chips in the immediate area and a local no-frills chinese. There's also a pizza place that when we were there were no longer delivering. If you like restaurants take a drive to Huskisson it's beautiful! For decent coffee I liked Benny's cafe at Culburra Beach (right near a decent Woolies for your shop). They do a mean French Toast there. Also there's a cute food truck in Huskisson (Harleys) that do nice coffee and brekkie. There's a cute vintage shop joined to it. Seating outside as well. For a bit of a drive there's a decent winery Two Figs in Berry in a gorgeous setting. We stayed with our doggie and found most places dog friendly. The whole of Jindyandy Mill is dog friendly with quirky shops and a lovely cafe. The only negative of the trip was the amount of pot holes on the roads so take care. Suzanne (the host) is amazing checking in to see if we needed anything and gave us plenty of hints and tips for our stay. We went to Mollymook which is south of Callara Beach and although it is lovely it lacked the tranquility of Jervis Bay so glad we chose to travel a little bit further up the coast. I can't wait to go back! Thanks Suzanne!

An ideal south coast getaway in an idyllic location! Our family really enjoyed their stay and loved the easy stroll to the beautiful Callala Beach! The cottage is well appointed and is an easy fit for young families. My kids loved having the trampoline and we all appreciated the warm outdoor shower post beach! We hope to be back

We had another lovely stay at this gorgeous little house. Even with inclement weather, it was a great HQ for beach combing and super comfortable with games, books, DVDs and a lego collection to keep the kids engaged.

Callala Beach Break

We had a wonderful week's stay at On The Verge. The short walk to the beach made it extra special. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The yard was excellent for our two Miniature Schnauzers with secure fencing all around.

This cute property was a smaller property but with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beds were very comfy, large yard for dogs, grandkids loved the trampoline and the board games. We enjoyed our stay, we found the ferry was expensive especially for a family group, probably best to drive
