Wonderful stay

What a relaxing and beautiful property. It had all the comforts of a real home. The balcony and light breeze on a sunny day was delightful. Spacious and very well decorated, it was a real treat to stay here. Close to beach and only a few mins drive to shops. Beds were comfortable and all amenities were great and new(ish). We absolutely all loved the stay and would definitely return! Dogs loved the backyard too.

Beautiful, well appointed home which was easy to find. The new estate lacks personality which is found down in the old area of Catherine Hill Bay but beaches are close and the Catho Pub is walking distance.

Stay was good, there was not enough toilet paper for our stay which was bothersome. The hot water also ran out very quickly so for four of us to shower it was difficult and we had cold showers. Otherwise stay was comfortable and location is great. Love the balcony! Maybe some heaters on the balcony for the winter months :)

Why they chose this property

Catherine Hill Bay is a small coastal village located in New South Wales. Known for its pristine beaches and historical significance, it offers a charming blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The township is named after the "Catherine Hill" a two masted wooden topsail schooner built at Wisemans Ferry in 1866. Catherine Hill ran aground on the beach between Bird Island Point and Lake Macquarie, during a fierce gale. The beach and bay where the shipwreck occurred was later named Catherine Hill Bay in commemoration of the wreck. The owner of the ship was Captain Hill.

The town's iconic jetty, surrounded by picturesque cliffs, provides a stunning backdrop for visitors to enjoy the atmosphere and indulge in various outdoor activities such as swimming, surfing, and fishing. Catherine Hill Bay is known as one of 'Australia's 101 Best Beaches'.

This coastal gem renowned for its popular surf beach, attracting surfers from far and wide. Its historic coal mining jetty stands proudly as a local landmark. The town boasts convenient proximity, just a short 5-minute drive from Swansea's city centre. For diving enthusiasts, an exciting adventure awaits with the exploration of the shipwreck 'Shamrock.' Ideal diving conditions occur during offshore winds and calm seas.

While in Catherine Hill Bay, a visit to the famous 'Catho Pub' is a must, offering a relaxed ambiance for enjoying drinks or a fantastic meal. Sunday evenings come alive with live bands, perfect for those seeking a lively atmosphere. Additionally, the pub features a dedicated kids play area.
