'Becalmed' is a newly renovated 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom family friendly beach house just a few minutes stroll to Warrain and Culburra surf beaches and Tilbury Cove, a calmer, sheltered beach more suited for children. Enjoy this choice location in the best part of Culburra plus the comforts of a well appointed home and the benefits of a large private garden with large deck area for outdoor dining and relaxing.
Set on a quiet street, 'Becalmed' provides the perfect place to unwind. The spacious open plan indoor living areas include a comfortable main lounge, with adjoining dining and kitchen area, leading onto the outside deck overlooking a huge, secluded backyard. Sit back on the deck and enjoy a drink or a book, whilst someone else fires up the BBQ and the kids play a game of football or cricket in front of you.
The 5 bedrooms are freshly painted, with new flooring, and all are large and bright with views over the garden or trees. All rooms have ceiling or portable fans and plenty of drawers and hanging spaces for clothes. Enjoy privacy and comfort as you drift off to sleep with the sound of surf in the background.
The 5th bedroom combines as a games room complete with table and chairs, an additional TV, an Xbox360 and an assortment of indoor children’s games allowing spaces for both adults and children to have fun and relax separately, or together.
Three newly renovated bathrooms mean a choice of 3 showers available when returning from the beach when you all need to rinse off the salt and sand.
The fully equipped kitchen has all the home comforts including dishwasher and Espressotoria machine. Or, if you prefer Barista made coffee, then there is an excellent beach cafe just 250m from the house. Additional cafes, restaurants, shops and a large Woolworths store are conveniently located less than 5 minutes drive away.
There is plenty to do and to explore in Culburra beach whether it is swimming, snorkelling, walking, cycling, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, fishing or just relaxing on the beach. Both Warrain and Culburra beaches are patrolled during the peak summer holiday season and both surf lessons and kayak hire are available 450m from home.
Also close by is the family friendly white sands of Callala beach; picturesque Honeymoon bay near Currarong (perfect for snorkelling); spectacular Point Perpendicular with its classic blue and white lighthouse; jetty fishing at Orient Point; and a chance to enjoy freshly shucked oysters at the Oyster leases of Greenwell Point.

Wonderful

The hosts were very pleasant and helpful with a couple of issues caused by previous tenants and public holidays. It was very handy to the beaches and shops and the yard was spacious for children to play in.

Yes, it is good to be in a place that is close to the two patrolled beaches. We are glad to hear that the kids enjoyed the back yard - families usually love the space to be able to kick a ball around in.
The instructions from the host were crystal clear, no problems with Check In or Check out. The house was a perfect size for us (4 adults, 3 children and a labrador), all rooms were clean, and the kitchen, albeit small, had plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking items to get by. Location-wise it was perfect as we could get down to the beach within minutes, and the nearby cafe, only 3 minutes walk away, was a frequent stop for us (excellent coffee!)
Great location and nice big house. Plenty of room for extended family or multiple families. Also accommodated our furry family members.. great place would stay again.
Great place for 3 families, their kids and pets. Close to beach, great backyard for pets and playing with the children. Plenty of space, all the appliances you need, great deck with BBQ.. Very comfortable and clean. Highly recommend.
Richard was very kind to assist us when Covid decided to wreck the plans for a few of our group, but those that were able to make it had a lovely time. Definitely recommend based on our communication with the owners.

Thankyou for your kind comments Kyle and I hope your covid scare ended up a negative.
Great family beach house, perfect location as close to beach, lake and local cafe, with a great pet friendly backyard and huge deck with BBQ.Kitchen was a bit small for our group of 8, but was manageable and had everything we needed. Richard was a great host, easy to communicate with and accommodating. My family all enjoyed our stay and we can't wait to visit Culburra again soon.
Remarkable location - between the lake, warrain beach and culburra beach- only 10 mins max walk to each
Excellent owner communications and easy to check in
Huge beautiful deck for afternoon bbq or morning brekkie
Fantastic large flat fenced backyard - good for Christmas cricket or lounging in the sun/ shade
Kitchen is tiny and linen could do with an upgrade
The house is big & comfortable, and well set out.
We stayed with children and grandchildren & the house is very child friendly. The big deck and backyard are a bonus.
The bird life and bunnies provided great entertainment.
The house stayed cool with fans provided and a sea breeze.
The beach and the lake are only a short walk away and doable for the children.
Overall, we all had a wonderful time.

So glad you enjoyed your time there. Yes, it is in a great position close to both the lifeguard patrolled beach and the lake. We are lucky with all the bird life in the garden and I am glad the bunnies also made an appearance for you!
We had an absolutely lovely time at Richard and Bella's property. The place was lovely and clean and well stocked with everyday essentials (a real bonus). Richard communicated everything superbly which made check-in and check-out extremely easy. Would definitely recommend this property to families looking for a quiet relaxing break!!
A group of 8 of us stayed at Richard & Bella’s place over a weekend and each of us thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The house was fantastic size, clean and fitted out with all the basics & more (the board games were a huge hit!).
The well kept garden made for a great hangout place especially after a lazy / long lunch. So close to the beach too! Richard and Bella were super easy to communicate with when needed to - and want to highlight the lovely bottle of wine & chocolates left by them for our stay which was such a thoughtful touch.
We all absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend to groups of friends and/or family looking for a beach side getaway. Thanks again Richard & Bella!
What a wonderful relaxing Eater vacation. The house was clean and well catered. The large bedrooms and generous living areas were perfect for the family and especially the kids.
The hospitality of the owners with easter eggs and bottles of wine on arrival were a lovely touch and much appreciated.
Thanks again.
