About this property

Pet Friendly and less than 5 mins to the Beach

Enjoy this stunningly designed and superbly appointed 3bedroom retreat located only a short stroll away from the famous (but usually deserted) Culburra Beach.

Everything about this designer home-away-from-home is about the unwinding and indulging. Enjoy the new Wifi internet just installed, DVD collection, delve into a novel on the couch, relax to your favourite music floating room to room from a bluetooth speaker or sit back and savour a rich, steaming coffee from the quality espresso machine. Hungry? Sizzle up a good old barbie out back on our expansive hardwood decking. Thirsty? The mohitos go down a treat as you sink back on the deck chairs on a blue sky day.

Venturing from the Retreat, days are all about swimming, snorkeling, surfing and whale watching. Of course, it may simply be about lazing on the golden sands with a good book. Only 200 meters away, the impressive 3km-long Culburra Beach is your second backyard and offers a great playground for your whole family or even your beloved pets (yes, we're dog friendly as is the beach).

Culburra Retreat, in this sleepy town of Culburra on the central NSW South coast, is the place to unwind for anyone who needs a break to remember. And come back to time and again.

This is a functional dog friendly home. However, the photos are probably a decade old and don't reflect the current product. It's tired and need of tender loving care and maintenance.David was responsive and reduced our fee due to back doors which didn't shut.

Thanks for the review Julian. I’m gutted the cleaner mixed up her dates for your stay. We go to lots of effort making the house feel inviting and cosy so as soon as you arrive you feel relaxed and on holiday. Thank you for being so accommodating. Karen mentioned you were very kind. If you guys ever would like to come back then message me with your past booking date and I’d be happy to give you a discount on your next booking. I’d love you to arrive to the house as it should be.

The house was charming with its retro furnishings and lovely styling throughout offering many touches for a very comfortable stay for the family and fur baby. The fully fenced backyard is a good size and we enjoyed relaxing on the back deck in between playing table tennis each afternoon.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr, 2023
Hi Mary. Thank you for all your correspondence since your stay. I was so upset you needed to cut your holiday short. Unfortunately, because you told us about the issue once you had left the house, I didn't have any time to investigate or repair the issue. I've chatted to the housekeeper, and she is convinced it was because we had six days of consecutive rain just before your stay, then high heat days while you were there. If you had contacted one of us, we could have brought over a dehumidifier and powerful fans to air out the house quickly. Once the housekeeper returned to the house after your stay, there were no smells at all. Understand because of your chest and breathing issues you leaving early, as your health is paramount. I just wish you told us earlier so we would have had a chance to fix it. If you ever did want to book again Mary, then let me know in your booking it's you and I’ll give you a 25% discount on your next booking. Hopefully we will get a chance to redeem your shortened holiday. All the very best David
