Everything was beautiful when we arrived Such a beautiful place to stay, kids loved it as well.Ocean views were absolutely stunning. Kids love the pool table and ping-pong table.When we had to stay for an extra 3 more nights due to circumstances out of our control they were so nice and accommodated us.Couldn’t find a more beautiful place to stay.

Great family holiday house

Fantastic weekend. The Albatross House is the most amazing place to stay. Very clean, spacious, comfortable with clearly the best ocean views in Culburra. Well priced for a luxurious home. Has become our favourite - 10 stars and highly recommended.

Expensive, but ultimately worth it.

Stayed here recently, place is huge with a few different living spaces and a very short stroll to the beach. It was more expensive than we'd have liked, but that's what we get for booking late and during school holidays. I'd stay here again.

Hi Nicholas, thanks for reviewing Albatross. You get what you pay for here and that's luxury and views! It's a very spacious home with fantastic inclusions and the cherry on top is being located next to the ocean! School holidays are also a little more expensive with some of our properties. We would happily welcome you back again in future.

Lovely location

The house is nice and sitting on good location, close to Tilbury Cove which is nice and calm water, good for swimming. However, some teething problems likes no salt in the house, lightning in the laundry is not working, air conditioning in the upstair lounge is not working, toilet door in ensuite room downstairs is not closed at all

Good View / Bad Neighbors

Despite being couples only with no noise or parties, we faced bad attitude and words from the old lady living in neighborhood (we heard she is the owner's relative). If we ignore old neighbors rude behaviours, we spend good time there. Lolaction was pretty good with good view. Facilities were good but TV was old.

Hi Mohammad, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for Albatross. Despite your troubles with neighbouring people, we are glad you enjoyed your time here. It is a beautiful property in beautiful location. We will suggest the tv to the owners who will put it into consideration.

Stay somewhere else

Place had cockroaches and the back yard back of onto a cliff without any fencing which is very dangerous if you have kids. Only thing going for it is the view but considering that the back yard backs onto a cliff the safety risks outweigh the views. Place is very overpriced for what is provided and due to that fact you're better of staying elsewhere.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Sept 2023
We are open to all feedback provided. This property is located on the headland at Culburra Beach and does have fantastic views. A fence was installed at the property at the at the beginning of October and the yard is very secure for both children and pets. The rear yard is and always has been fenced and secure to the road. Advertising did state that a fence was still to be installed on the water side. The owners of this property take great pride and care in the presentation of the property providing a great games room with many DVDs , games, pool table and table tennis table, golf clubs etc all for guests use, 2 living areas, double garage and a fully equipped kitchen. This particular guest did have a bond claim made on them after their stay. Owners are entitled to have their possessions and property cared for by guests and Bond is only taken in extreme cases. Holiday Rental Specialists manage over 150 properties in the Southern Highlands and South Coast and it is not very often that Bond is required to be claimed as most guests care for the property that they are staying in.

Lovely large house with excellent sea views

Had a great time over Easter. Plenty of room for family and friends. Our only negative was the beds were quite small and our adult children found the singles very uncomfortable.

Fabulous stay. Awesome hospitality.

This is the very best place we have ever stayed at. Driving into the driveway our 5 children squealed with delight. The home is massive, immaculate and welcoming. We really felt at home with the array of books and games that the hosts have available. We watched the dolphins playing out the front and because it was winter had almost the exclusive use of Culburra beach. With the awesome facilities and fabulous views we decided to eat all our meals at home,or picnic on the beach. The kids had a cook off which was alot of fun. The husky ferry wasn't running as it was off season so it was a bit of a drive to explore Jervis bay but we are very glad we did. My daughter left her ipad at the property and before we even noticed we had a phone call to arrange its return. Thank you for an excellent holiday. We cant wait to come back.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Sept 2023
Thank you for taking the time to review this superb property. We agree the owners have certainly done a great job in setting it up for large families or groups to enjoy. The fabulous location allows you to enjoy magnificent views across Warrain Beach all the way to Currarong. Holiday Rental Specialists – Beach and Bay holidays take great pride in presenting properties that are warm, clean and inviting. Given the property's tranquility it is hard to imagine that cafe's, Woolworth and the local club are only a 5 minute drive from the property. We do hope you will return and enjoy more time at this beautiful property.

Absolute heaven

Just the two us stayed with our two dogs. Never seen much of Culburra because it was too hard to leave this gorgeous home. Wanted absolute waterfront and the views were breathtaking!!! Didn't eat out as the kitchen was a chefs kitchen. The owners have thought carefully about every need a guest could want including the excellent books and docos . Even the dogs timber homes were brand new. Never wanted to leave and the dogs wouldn't get out of the car when we got home. Loved everything.
