About this property
Buwadi - Pet Friendly - 3 Mins Walk to Beach
With its coastal décor and cozy vibes, as soon as you arrive and smell the sea salt in the air, you’ll already be settled in for a relaxing holiday.
With air conditioning and outdoor seating for the summer, and heaters and warm showers for the winter holidays, this house is equipped for all seasons. For those rainy days, the kids can enjoy a game of table tennis in the games room. It’s the perfect undercover entertainment for adults and kids, and a welcome respite from the heat on sunny days. Your furry friends can be safely ensconced within the fully fenced garden too. Whether inside or outside, there’s plenty of room for everyone, and the convenience of two bathrooms to avoid those queues for the shower!
When mealtimes come around, everyone can gather at the table in the spacious living area or out on the back grass and enjoy fish and chips from down the road in the air conditioning, or cook up a storm on the backyard bbq to enjoy the sun and sea breeze. We have no doubt you’ll want to stay for a while at this lovely property, so take your time and appreciate all the options Buwadi provides for you to come together or spread out and enjoy some alone time. Enjoy Netflix or some tunes on the Bluetooth speaker or simply enjoy the tranquility outside in a chair with an espresso or cold drink.
Once you’re fed and rested, it’s time to see the sights! The shining sands and sparkling waves of Culburra Beach are just a three-minute walk away. You can even hop in the car and drive the short distance to explore Culburra Beach’s local shops and restaurants; the owners recommend Bamboleo Pizzeria Café for dinner! Of course, Buwadi will be waiting for you to come back, rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower, and settle on the deck with some cold beers to watch the sunset. For a magically unique experience see how many constellations you can spot in the clear coastal night sky.
However you choose to spend your holiday, you’ll make precious memories of love and leisure at Buwadi.

We had such a lovely little break at Buwadi. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. We loved all the different games to play, and our dog had the best time running around the big grassy backyard. A really cozy spot for a relaxing getaway.

It's great to know you enjoyed the quiet and friendly neighbourhood, and we look forward to welcoming you back!
We stayed for a few nights in the April school holidays - 2 adults, 2 boys and our kelpie. We had a nice time and it was fantastic being only a short quiet walk to the beach. The house had everything we needed and was nice, clean and comfortable and the boys really enjoyed the indoor table tennis table of the evening.

Thanks for the awesome review, and for choosing to stay with us. We’re delighted you had a great time, and hope you can stay with us again soon.
What a beautiful, well stocked, clean and well appointed house! Two couples and two kids absolutely loved being together and having enough space to spread out. The thought that has gone into supplying the games, books and even kitchen utensils made it like being at home, but more relaxing. I was able to bake a birthday cake for my friend, and we shared many a game of table tennis, ring toss and cricket. The location is awesome,So close to the beach, skate park and playground, cafes, Woolies and TV r bowls club. I can’t wait to come back.

Lovely beach home. Very well laid out and extremely clean. Nicely decorated with everything you need for a home away from home. The beautiful beach of Culburra only a very short walk away. Our young pup loved playing and swimming with the other friendly dogs. Our only issue was we couldn’t access the lovely backyard due to the very aggressive birds and their small chicks that had decided to make this gorgeous little spot of paradise theirs

Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the layout, cleanliness, and décor of the home, along with its proximity to beautiful Culburra Beach. It's wonderful that your pup had a great time with other friendly dogs! We’re sorry to hear about the bird situation in the backyard; nature can sometimes bring surprises. We’ll look into options to manage this better for future guests while ensuring a peaceful environment. We hope to welcome you back for another lovely stay!
I have fallen in love with Culburra, this house was lovely!
Excellent, I was granted a 3 hour early check in as I was already in another holiday home in Culburra. It saved me driving around with my belongings in the heat.
The house was lovely, it had everything we needed for our stay. I would stay there again.
The girls from the company that manage the property were extremely helpful and any issues from the first property were addressed promptly. I 💜 Culburra

Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re happy to hear you had a lovely stay, and can’t wait to have you back with us on your next holiday!
THANKYOU so much for a wonderful beach getaway with hubby and our baby Max ( 4 year old Jack Russell). The house was clean and more than well equipped with all the essentials and all we had to do was just turn up. Our two grandchildren ( 4 and 10) came to visit and LOVED the games rooms full of books, board games, table tennis and more. The enclosed back yard was flat and huge for us to relax in and have an outdoor warm shower after hitting the beach. Highly recommend this place for a quiet and fully equipped getaway!!!! We were spoilt for choice for where to swim and enjoy our time!!

Thank you Jacklyn for leaving a fantastic review, we’re delighted you had a comfortable stay. Nothing is more important for a holiday than a well equipped house with the best amenities. Our housekeepers are the best in the business, thanks for appreciating the job they do! We hope you and your family stay with us again soon.
We loved staying at Buwadi. It was very clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the aircon and heaters made the place very cosy during our mid winter stay. The ping pong table and games/activities were great for our 2 sons (5 yo and 3 yo). Only minor down side was that our 11 month old crawler was crawling on cold floorboard and tiled floors as there were no rugs/carpeting. Just something to be mindful of if you're there with an infant during winter! Otherwise the place was perfect - couldn't ask for more! Thank you for having us :)

We are delighted to hear of your wonderful stay at one of our holiday houses! The cleanliness, comfort of the beds, and the cozy atmosphere created by the air conditioning and heaters during your mid-winter visit were all highlights for you. It's great to hear the ping pong table and games/activities kept your 5-year-old and 3-year-old entertained.
It's understandable that having cold floorboards and tiled floors might have been a bit of a downside for your 11-month-old crawler during the winter months. Your comment about the lack of rugs/carpeting is helpful for other parents to be aware of if they are visiting with infants.
Overall, it sounds like you found the ideal property being a perfect fit for your family, and you were very pleased with your experience overall. Thank you for choosing Professional Holiday Homes and we hope your family can come back for another memorable stay in the future.
Property as described. Very clean & has everything required for your stay. Plenty of games & activities to occupy younger generation. House was very comfortable and convenient getting to the beach.Had one issue with tv. Watching Netflix & it stopped after a couple of minutes, then the tv turned off and wouldn't come back on. Just before it did that I noticed a message that said "try turning tv off at power point", we did that & it started operating again. Thought this may be helpful incase this happens to you.When leaving went looking for bins....nowhere to be seen.FYI...Finally realised that the bins lying on their sides on the other side of the street may belong to #9
