Culburra Retreat - Newly Renovated, Pet Friendly, 4 Min Walk to the Beach

Culburra Retreat has had a new lease of life. Our much-loved beach cottage has been rebuilt and restyled from the roof down. It's still the same relaxed, sandy-feet holiday house, just warmer, brighter and more beautiful than ever, and now with air conditioning to keep you cool on those hot summer days. And it's only a short stroll to the famous (but usually deserted) Culburra Beach.

Everything here is about unwinding. Curl up with a novel on the couch, let your favourite music drift from room to room, or start the morning with a proper coffee from the espresso machine. Hungry? Fire up the barbie on the brand-new hardwood deck. Thirsty? The mojitos go down a treat as you sink into a deck chair on a blue-sky day. And yes, there's fast Wifi.

Out the back, the garage has been turned into a fun zone that kids (and plenty of grown-ups) love: ping pong, darts and an art space for little creatives. It's the perfect spot for rainy afternoons, or for settling who's doing the dishes.

Venturing from the Retreat, days are all about swimming, snorkelling, surfing and whale watching. Of course, it may simply be about lazing on the golden sands with a good book. Just a 4-minute walk away, the impressive 3km-long Culburra Beach is your second backyard and offers a great playground for your whole family or even your beloved pets (yes, we're dog friendly, as is the beach).

Culburra Retreat, in the sleepy town of Culburra on the NSW South Coast, is the place to unwind for anyone who needs a break to remember. And come back to time and again.

Wonderful stay

The house was charming with its retro furnishings and lovely styling throughout offering many touches for a very comfortable stay for the family and fur baby. The fully fenced backyard is a good size and we enjoyed relaxing on the back deck in between playing table tennis each afternoon. The beach, only a short stroll away, is really beautiful and dog friendly too making our stay fun for all. Thanks for having us at your lovely property, we would love to visit again.
