About this property

The Watershed: Absolute Beachfront, 3 Bedrooms, Pet Friendly, Hot Tub. Sleep 10.

Escape to Coastal Bliss:

Discover a hidden treasure tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in The Marina, with direct beachfront access to the pristine sands of Culburra Beach. This pet-friendly, family beach house offers the perfect retreat for those seeking relaxation and adventure by the sea.

Inside and out, there’s plenty of room to accommodate family and friends. Multiple living areas and outdoor spaces make this property ideal for entertaining, while the proximity to the beach means you’re just steps from sinking your toes into soft sand and refreshing ocean waters.

Follow the private boardwalk through the backyard to a secluded beach access path, where Culburra Beach's natural beauty will take your breath away. This pet-friendly beach invites you and your four-legged friends to explore the shoreline, with off-leash hours varying seasonally.

For beach days, the shed is stocked with all the essentials, including boogie boards and beach shelters. After a dip in the ocean, rinse off in the heated outdoor shower and jump in the hot tub to relax and watch the clouds pass by under the banksia tree.

Every room and living space opens to either a balcony, deck, or porch, where you can bask in the fresh sea breeze and coastal views. Open the bi-fold doors and louvered windows to let in the soothing sounds of the ocean, creating an ambiance that flows seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living.

Spacious Living for All:

Downstairs, two spacious living areas, separated by the kitchen, provide plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. These versatile spaces offer comfort for both adults and children, ensuring everyone has their own area to unwind.

Mealtimes are effortless with the well-equipped kitchen and alfresco BBQ area. The kitchen features a gas stovetop, electric oven, Nespresso coffee pod machine, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook and serve a feast. Bifold doors seamlessly connect the kitchen to the alfresco area, creating a spacious indoor-outdoor flow, with two dining tables providing ample seating for everyone to gather comfortably.
Or alternatively, you can book the courtesy bus to the Culburra Club for a casual dinner out.

Enjoy a large selection of books and board games - in winter by the cozy indoor fireplace, and in summer, alfresco style around the large outdoor dining table.

Rest & Recharge in Style:

Upstairs, three bedrooms contain nine beds.

The spacious master suite features a king bed, an ensuite bathroom with a separate toilet, a wall of louvered windows with a bench seat underneath, and balcony that offers expansive views of the ocean. A dedicated office space ensures a quiet corner for those needing to work while away.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are thoughtfully designed with family comfort in mind. Each room features two custom-built king single loft beds, connected by a staircase with safety rails for peace of mind. There are two queen beds underneath the loft beds in each bedroom. Wall-to-wall shelving ensures belongings stay organised and the rooms remain clutter-free. Each bed includes built-in bedside lamps and USB ports for convenient charging.

Pet-Friendly Considerations:

While we welcome pets, please note that determined dogs may dig under the back fence. There is a pet barrier located under the stairs for your use to contain your furry friends to the ground level, as we kindly ask that you keep them downstairs and off the furniture.
Culburra Beach Off-Leash Hours:
• 1 Oct – 30 April: 4pm – 8am
• 1 May – 30 Sept: 3pm – 10pm

Stunning Property

Our family were more than happy with our stay at this beautiful property! We will definitely be booking again in the warmer months so that we can make the most of the perfect location with the beach being so close.

Amazing property with direct beach access

Stayed here in the October long weekend with 2 other families (6 adults and 5 kids) and there was ample space. I loved the decor and you could tell the owners put thought into the interior design and furniture selection. The custom built rooms with queen sized beds and bunks suited us. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable

My family has been holidaying in Culburra for over 30 years and the Watershed is up there with the best properties we've stayed at. The design is smart, decor tasteful, and the amenities are fantastic, with everything you need for a super comfy stay. The beach access, garden and beach view deck make things easy and have etched stunning Culburra Beach outlooks into my memory.So many fond family memories made, will definitely be back! Thank you.

Lovely ocean views

Second time we have stayed. Loved the comfort of the house - especially the new outdoor lounge. The garden is full of birds - just fill up the birdbath to enjoy their visits. Quite steep stairs to second level - not so suitable for infirm or very young children but everyone else should have a great time.

Beautiful bright house by the Beach

Family of 5 and a Family of 4 stayed for 3 nights over Anzac Weekend, sleeping arrangements worked however there is only 1 main adult bedroom. One couple had to use the bunk bed room and all 5 kids used the other room. Depending on age of kids its more comfortable having 4 kids in the room rather than 5. Perks of the house for us - Close to the beautiful beach, lots of space for everyone to have their own space with having 2 living areas, the outdoor alfresco was perfect for eating together, the outdoor firepit AND best of all was the jacuzzi for kids. Kitchen well equiped with everything you need. Super comfy beds and nice soft towels. It was the perfect getaway weekend with friends. Thank you

The property is absolutely stunning, with beautiul ocean facing aspect, very well designed interiors, sun lit rooms, great amenities, well equipped kitchen, with deck and spa, 50 mts awy from the beach with direct access, what else we could have asked for. We all had a great time. Kids loved the bunk beds and various games stocked in the house, as well as their time on the beach. We didnt even feel the need to step of the house. And not to miss, The sunrise that you can see right from the master bedroom, dont even need to get out of the bed. Highly recommended.
