Ben Boyd National Park is a only an 8km drive from the cottage which is home to some of the most pristine & private beaches the south coast has to offer.

Fabulous country cottage
We had a five night getaway following the hectic Christmas period down the coast, and chose to stay at Yowaka River Cottage. The cottage is beautifully appointed and renovated for easy living. You could not want for more in a holiday property. Comfortable beds, incredibly clean, lots of light and places to watch the sunrise or sunset and great views in every direction. A thoughtful snack basket awaited us, including snacks for our 10 month old, and all the basic essentials (less vegemite) in the cupboard! :P Communication was simple and easy and response times were almost immediate. Summer and Taj made sure everything was there that we needed. We lit the fire almost every night for toasted marshmallows and watched many sunsets from the deck with a glass of wine. The stars have to be seen to be believed. We had moonless skies and crystal clear nights. Ive never seen so many stars.... we watched them for hours. Yowaka Cottage is very private. My single and only complaint, is the Princes Highway. While the turn off to the property is a km or more from the road, the actual property sits maybe 30m back and just above the highway. The cars and trucks are pretty noisy but generally stop around 9pm and don't really get going again until 5am or so. It did ruin the ambiance a little, but there was reasonable amounts of breaks between traffic where you could just listen to the birds and the wind in the trees. It was a fabulous property, one which we would love to come back to.

Modern, cozy and stylish - the perfect stay!
Where do I start. This place had everything you could ask for and more! Freshly renovated, quality styling with a warm and cozy feel. The river views from the kitchen and deck were amazing, we enjoyed several breakfast and dinners here soaking up the sun. The owners were so friendly and went above and beyond in making sure our stay was perfect. From the basket of goodies on arrival, the guide to local attractions (including web links and contact details for Restaurants and Cafe’s etc) to the activities and treats for the kids, they really did think of everything! The fire-pit was a highlight, a perfect way to unwind and soak up the views. So many beautiful beaches and places to explore close by, the location was perfect. Magic Mountain in Merimbula was a great family day out, definitely a must see! A beautiful part of the South Coast, we had the best time (not long enough) and will definitely be back!

Wonderful Fully Renovated Modern Cottage
We had a relaxing and peaceful stay at this wonderful fully renovated modern cottage with 270 degree views of river / rural outlooks. Modern kitchen / bathroom / furniture and decor / wifi and air con. You could not ask for more in terms of quality / modern holiday accommodation. We really appreciated property owners helpful communication, guide to local attractions and welcome card and goodies on arrival. Had a great time visiting local beaches, fishing and exploring Pambula, Merimbula and Eden. Would love to live permanently in this part of the world and would not hesitate to rebook this beautiful property in the future.
