Lovely family holiday

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage. It was perfect for our family of two adults and two older teens with a dog. The house is nicely set up and very well equiped including an incredible selection of books! It's close to the beach and bush walks.

A lovely place for a relaxing stay

We had a wonderful time in this lovely house. Only a short walk from the beach and five minutes into town it's a lovely house to relax in. It's got a lovely kitchen and I cooked up some excellent holiday food on the BBQ. It's got a wonderful garden and my dog had a lovely time exploring in it. I will be back soon!

Culburra Sands

A very quaint and compact beach house. It was well kitted out and only a 5 minute walking distance to the beach. Lovely safe yard for the kids and dog. Opposite a bike track into Culburra. Great place for a week or more by the beach.

Have stayed here before in summer. However with only one heater, the house became uncomfortable for a winter stay. An electric blanket for the beds would be great for the winter months

Little piece of paradise

When you first enter this beautiful cute cottage you notice how homely it feels and that the intention of making you feel like home away from home hits the spot. At night sit in the family room and listen to the waves in the background while having a chat and discussing the days events at the beach! Culburra Beach is a piece of heaven! At night head out back and fire up the BBQ while you regale stories of the day and watch fur babies or children run around the beautiful backyard! In the morning sit outside and listen to the myriad of Australian birds singing. You want for nothing in this beautiful home and we will definitely be visiting again and again! Tanya

I will definitely not be back.

I have rented many properties in Culburra Beach and this one was probably the worst. The house, albeit tidy, was not clean. The flyscreens and front door were full of dust so once opened filled the house with black dirt. The property is old and pokey. The bath was filthy and it somehow filled with mosquitoes and moths even though the house had screens they did not close property. The outdoor setting was dirty as was the concrete paving. It had not been swept. The garden though full of trees and shrubs were overgrown and messy with long weeds and lots of dead tree branches. Neglect! The fear of snakes hiding in the garden rumble would certainly not be compatible with young children. Also, this property is on a very busy road. Horrible.

Hi Karen, Thank you for your feedback. I would like to confirm that our housekeepers do have an extensive checklist that they complete prior to a guests arrival. We wish that you had of contacted us during your stay as we could have arranged for the housekeeper to return to the property as we want to ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. Prior to your arrival at the property, the area had experienced some high winds and we believe that this may have contributed to this dust on the front door and outdoor area. We have looked into the fly screens of the property and these will be replaced before summer to ensure that the insects do not enter. The gardens and lawns are scheduled fortnightly. We apologise that the yard was not sufficiently maintained before your arrival. Please note that many of these issues could have been rectified if you afforded us the opportunity by contacting us during your stay. Warm regards, HRS

Nice well equipped house in lovely Culburra

This place would be gorgeous in summer. The house has a good layout and has everything you need. The gardens are gorgeous (hammocks!) and there were scooters and boogy boards and a ping pong table and lots of games and books. If you stay in winter I’d recommend bringing lots of warm things because like many coast houses it’s not really built for cold weather. It was very cold and the windows in multiple rooms were prone to blowing open in the wind which didn’t help with the temperature. Booking through Stayz but they also have a separate company property manager which meant a few tiresome extra steps, filling multiple things out after already booking and paying and being required to give credit card to multiple parties which I don’t really like (sort of eliminates the benefit of using a site like this). Ungenerous checkin/checkout times (partially, I appreciate, because of covid, but 4pm checkin in winter means it’s not far off being dark before you get there!) made it a pretty expensive price for effectively one day - may be better value over a longer period. Still, we very much liked the house and for a longer stay and in better weather I think it would be delightful.

Hi Sam, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We do apologise that your check in time was delayed, unfortunately on that particular weekend we did need to allow our cleaners additional time with every property booked out back to back and with COVID cleaning practices in place. We do also request guests register with us to prevent credit card fraud as unfortunately this is a common occurence on third party websites. We’d love to have you stay with us again. Please keep HRS in mind when booking your next holiday.

Cute Retro Beach Cottage

Loved staying at this 50's beach Cottage. Original 50's character with modern updates and retro/contemporary styling made it just my thing. Stayed over weekend with my 14yr old son and some of his friends. The double bunk room suited them well with easy walk to beach, table tennis setup, TV with selection of DVDs, wifi and updated well equipped kitchen for them to cook together kept them happy. I loved the comfy queen room with TV and lovely old fashioned lush garden. Will be back for sure!

Great stay!

If you're looking for a lovely slow and restorative break, this house is a wonderful choice. We loved being so close to the beach for early morning and dusk walks, the local fresh seafood (especially oysters) is delicious, there are plenty of bush walks around and delicious restaurants in the surrounding area. The house was great! One of our party wanted some more heaters available in the house (we stayed in winter and they feel the cold easily) but that's the only constructive feedback I can offer :) Thanks for having us.
