Beach vibes all around. Love the proximity to the beach and glad we had 1 hot day so the kids got to experience having a dip in the water and playing in the sand. The cottage itself is beautifully renovated and lovingly well-maintained. We appreciate the opportunity to stay in the property.
I remembered my Mom - she had the same sewing machine.
Fire pit at the back is perfect for roasting marshmallows while listening to the waves.
We also enjoyed the grill!

Second time just as good as the first

This is the second time staying at Aida's property and we enjoyed every moment as much as the first. Our family had such a nice relaxing time and the house itself provides all the comforts needed for a coast getaway. The beach practically on our doorstep makes this property worth every cent. We are looking forward to coming back again in the future.

Perfect location

We spent all our time in the backyard of the property enjoying the beautiful view and surroundings. Perfect place to set up a backyard picnic right by the beach and have a nice breakfast with a view. The inside was clean and had everything we needed for the night. Hosts were also very accomodating and easy to contact with any questions. Highly recommend and hope to stay again

Lawn to the Dunes - an incredible place to stay!

Karel's at Long Beach has been in our family for 70 years. It is a very special place for many family and friends. Spending every weekend at the beach was wonderful. Each weekend we would travel as a family from Canberra to our beach house. We spent weekends walking along the beach, fishing, bushwalking, watching the dolphins, swimming and shell collecting. These were great memories which have stayed with our family to this day. We hope you can create your own memories and enjoy this special slice of heaven.

Why they chose this property

This property was bought 75 years ago. It is the original beach cottage which was bought by my father Karel. It has been totally renovated inside and the position is to die for.

The beach and sand is your backyard. A few steps away from the house you will enjoy total bliss and tranquility at the best beach on the South Coast Long Beach. Long beach is also a dog friendly beach.
