About this property

Family cottage, 8 minutes from the beach, pet friendly

Just down the road from Cookies Beach in South Durras!
Relax in this comfy three bedroom cottage set on sprawling lawns, with views of tall gumtrees. Open plan kitchen, dining and living room with a well-stocked wood fireplace plus electric heating to keep warm in the cooler months. The kitchen is fully equipped and there are three very comfortable bedrooms with fresh pillows. Soak up the morning sun on the north facing porch and lawns, with a timber deck extending out from the living area, outdoor setting and gas BBQ that overlooks the large family and pet friendly backyard.

About South Durras:

South Durras is a small hamlet-like ‘sanctuary’ nestled in the beautiful Murramarang National Park, with pristine isolated beaches, kangaroos, wallabies, numerous bird species, other vibrant wildlife, even the occasional fur seal. Nature is paramount! Very family friendly area, with abundant opportunities for bush walks, bike riding and visits to hidden beaches.

There is no town water, so all houses have limited rain water tanks. Please use water sparingly. Also, there is no town sewerage system, so all houses have septic tanks – please don’t use too much toilet paper.

There are not really any shops or restaurants, except for a bistro and convenience kiosk at Murramarang Beachfront Holiday Resort, and a coffee and snack van (open in peak holiday periods) at the BIG4 Holiday Park. For a greater range of shops and eateries, head to Batemans Bay.

These so-called ‘limitations’ add to the beauty and natural feel of South Durras in the Murramurang National Park.

Important notes:

- There is no front fence to contain ‘escapee’ dogs :)
- This property cannot accommodate more than 6 people due to limitations on the water tanks.
- Sheets and towels are not provided (comfy mattresses, doonas and pillows are provided). Please bring your own bed, bath & kitchen linen, or alternatively contact Judy of Blissful Bedding in South Durras for all your linen requirements.
- The property includes a laundry sink in the bathroom, and washing machine & dryer. - The solar hot water system (particularly with the electric booster turned on) can be VERY HOT! Please watch small children in the shower and with other hot taps.

Great retreat to stay near beach
Overall we liked the calm stay at this property near to beach with clean house and facilities. I always make my reviews helpful for other travellers so that they won't have any surprises when they visit. Near to the stay you will get a long email from Peter :) explaining the puzzles you have to solve before you enter the property which was fun. Though we were there for a getaway from our busy schedule, absence of TV was a surprise for us, which was not known before we arrived at the property. The pics are a little bit misleading since I thought we had that space in the backyard, but on arrival, we understood that the space shown in the pics was actually our side of the house and backyard is pretty close to the fence and near to other houses. South Durras is a place where most houses are depending on rain water tanks. Though this did not cause any issue for our water use, it caused a little bit of tension when we heard about the water restrictions through Peter's email. We took our 5 litre water container which we use for even brushing our teeth since we were not comfortable using tap water. Other than this, property was very clean and facilities were good. Wifi was strong. All rooms had fans though not ceiling fans. Toilet would have been more private if there were some blinds. We managed to cover with our sheets. Though no linen was provided, all beds were quite clean and we used our own bed sheets and towels. Thank you Peter for a wonderful stay at your property.

Great location
This cottage was an excellent place to relax in South Durras. Everything was clean and comfortable and we all enjoyed a game of monopoly. A quick walk to either Cookies beach for a swim or to the dog beach for our four legged fur-friend to run, dig and play with other dogs. Thanks!

Clean and comfortable home
A lovely home for our family holiday. Peter was a very responsive and thorough host. Comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen. A great games drawer for down time. The kids loved seeing the kangaroos come through the yard.
