“Escape is our number one choice for staying in Culburra.” Belinda Dec 2025
Winner of 6 South Coast Tourism and Stayz Awards
Escape is a multi-award-winning, luxury designer beach house located absolute beachfront in the prestigious “dress circle” of Culburra Beach. North-facing and set at the safe, patrolled (summer) southern end of the beach near Tilbury Cove, Escape offers breathtaking views, direct private beach access, and an exceptional coastal holiday experience.
This is one of the rarest beachfront homes on the east coast — positioned right on the sand, facing due north, with panoramic ocean views and all-day sunshine.
✔ Our calendar is always accurate and up to date.
Escape is ideal for families, couples, groups of friends, and guests holidaying with their dog. We are also perfectly located near popular wedding venues in Terara, Merribee, Nowra and Berry, making Escape an excellent base for wedding guests and families. Please note: Escape is not available for weddings or parties of any kind.

Escape @ Culburra – The Ultimate Aussie Beachside Getaway
Culburra is the quintessential Australian beach town — relaxed, friendly, and surrounded by spectacular natural beauty.
Culburra Beach is literally on your doorstep, with Warrain Beach just a 5-minute walk away. Both are surf beaches, and according to our surfing sons, it’s the perfect combination.
The local Bowling Club (“the bowlo”) is fabulous, and the town has a large, well-stocked Woolworths with long opening hours — including home delivery, so you can arrive to your shopping already waiting. Don’t miss the wonderful Little Snapper, a popular new restaurant and coffee spot in the town centre.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Rhynehart
We are an active, retired couple with a large family of children and grandchildren. Escape is our much loved, family beach house. We enjoy travelling, gardening, hiking and spending time with our family. We are also puppy raisers for Guide Dogs NSW and our foster puppies love their holidays @Escape!
Why they chose this property
In Feb 2010 we went to Culburra to visit a friend for a coffee and bought a house! It was rundown and multi coloured but in arguably one of the best locations on the east coast of Australia. It faces due north, has its own direct beach access onto 3 kms of pristine south coast beach and has magnificent views all the way up the coast. We did our own Grand Design project, gutting the house, adding the huge deck and fitting it out with all new furniture and appliances. We have a great photo book of the "transformation of Escape " at the house. We have also won many national and state tourism awards. We opened for guests in Jan 2011 and since then we have hosted over 500 guest groups receiving over 99% 5-star reviews. Many of our guests are regulars coming back year after year. We get a great deal of enjoyment from providing a great guest experience. We also frequently enjoy the house with our family and friends which I think gives it that unique family ambiance which is so often mentioned in our reviews. We are new to the delights of the South Coast and continue to be delighted by its beauty and pristine nature. It is just as fabulous in winter as in summer with its direct north aspect the house fills with sunshine while the open fire heats the whole house at night. We have just completed a major renovation of Escape from June to Dec 2020. We have replaced the roof, all windows and doors, replaced and extended the deck and added a Cabana for shade and entertaining, repainted inside and out, added an En suite bathroom to the main bedroom and replaced most of the furniture. It looks terrific!
What makes this property unique
We stayed in many rental properties when our children were growing up and Escape is a "wish list " of all the things we'd have wanted in a rental house! The most unique thing about Escape is its location -one of the best spots on the east coast -faces due north with direct beach access down the south safe swimming end of Culburra Beach. The views are amazing from all the living areas and the main bedroom. We pride ourselves in providing an excellent, quality holiday experience. All the beds are comfortable with quality linen and towels, all the appliances are of good quality and in excellent working order, we have a full pantry and many extras which are not usually included in holiday letting properties. We are also pet friendly -it is rare to get such a quality property which allows pets both inside and out. I think many of our reviews highlight the many special things about Escape. We have won many National and regional tourism awards and display our awards proudly at the house!
