About this property

Glory House @ Culburra - Beachfront

2026 Award Winner - Customer Champion Award for Highest Airbnb Review Score.

2025 Award Winner - Best Beachfront.

Only a one minute walk down the back garden and you’ll be sinking your toes into the golden sands of beautiful Warrain Beach (or if you prefer you can visit stunning Culburra Beach, a three minute walk away).

Glory House is a family friendly three bedroom (one bedroom is has a privacy curtain off the living area) residence with glass doors opening out to the garden with spectacular views and fresh breezes sweeping off the nearby ocean. What’s more, you are only a 10 min drive to the world famous white sands of Jervis Bay.

When you do come inside you can kick back on the couch and cool off under the air conditioning and enjoy a DVD in the living room or maybe reconnect the family over a board game.

If some tunes outside is more your style there's a rechargeable Bluetooth speaker that you can take anywhere in the house. Whilst the kids play outside the chef can show off their culinary skills on the BBQ before the family gathers around the table outside to laugh, tell tales and enjoy a memorable feast.

When it’s finally time to hit the hay, you’ll find 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds, a third sleepout room with privacy curtain and comfy bed, warm showers and bath and extra pillows and blankets if you need them. Fans for summer and heaters for winter will keep you so comfortable that you won’t want to get up the next day. But you’ll already know from our exclusive guidebook that there are so many things to see and do in the Culburra Jervis Bay area – from where to shop and where to dine out to in-the-know local knowledge of the area’s “hidden secrets” that you’ll want to jump out of bed and explore.

But before you head out for the day be sure to enjoy a lazy holiday breakfast on the back deck. For caffeine addicts, there is the bonus of a pod espresso coffee machine with complimentary coffee pods.

Holidays are precious and memories are forever. We invite you to make beautiful family memories with us at Glory House.

Great location!

This is the perfect beach house! It has two beaches, one which you can view from the back deck and one at the front. It is a very dog friendly area and our dog loved being in the water all weekend. The shops/ cafes are conveniently close by as well. Loved our weekend away at Glory House and will be booking here again!

We recently enjoyed our first weekend at 'The Glory House'. We arrived to a fresh bunch of flowers on the table, soft fluffy towels, comfy beds and all the comforts of home. Add to this a great location with fabulous views of the ocean and we had found our 'serenity'. We have just booked our next stay as we can't wait to return.

The picturesque location of this property resulted in us barely leaving the house, rather, we relaxed and looked at the fab views instead. The house is bigger than I imagined, is clean and extremely comfortable, and has everything you need for a relaxing break away from home.

Nice place to relax

We stayed for a long weekend in mid-March and had a very relaxing time with our small dog. The house was cosy and well equipped. Another plus was it was on a single level, so no need to climb up a flight of stairs to see the amazing views. The owner Terese was a pleasure to deal with too. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the simple pleasures of life.

Amazing place to stay

This house was SO clean and comfortable to stay in. It was like staying in our own house but in one of the best locations on the south coast at a very reasonable price. The owners really take pride in this house and present it well to make sure your stay is perfect. And it was. The only thing I'd say the house needs is a dishwasher but that nothing really. Its the best accommodation we have been in to date, hands down!

We stayed at the Glory House for a family gathering. This home is welcoming as you walk in, with fresh flowers, excellent living space, topped up with spectacular views over Warraine beach. There are views also to Culburra beach with sunsets from the western side. Superb aspect and owners very responsive to replacing damaged microwave. We will be back to stay in this "slice of heaven"

Glory is a simple, retro home that had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend in a wonderful location. With beaches on both sides we were spoilt for choice as to where to stroll and with one beach right out the backyard, when it was cold (and it was on one day in particular) we could just sit inside and what the surf. Thoroughly recommend!

This was a spontaneous getaway that did not disappoint. Amazing views, neighbours are lovely and the beach practically in the back yard. The best part though, is the visibility of stars and the solar system at night. This is by far the best holiday home I’ve stayed at, I cannot wait to return. Thank you

Beautiful beach views. But access to the beach is not easy down a steep slope. The house was very clean but the decor is dated and the lack of a dishwasher is unacceptable as surely common place in a family home. The entrance to the property from the street is dangerous as the gate has to be manually opened while the car is still in the way of traffic. On our last day we were awoken at 7am by heavy duty construction next door which went on all day. The host said he was unaware of construction and was subsequently unresponsive.

Thank you for your feedback about Glory House. We're pleased the beautiful beach views and the cleanliness of the property were highlights of your stay. We appreciate your honest comments about the beach access, the decor, the absence of a dishwasher, and the gate entrance - all of these points have been noted and passed on to the property owner for review. We're sorry these aspects didn't meet your expectations and hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide an improved experience.

Glorious views

Where else can you stay where you have beach views sitting on your front porch and sensational views of a different beach from your back deck. We had an enjoyable 4 days at Glory House which epitomises an ideal beach home. It was a pleasure to walk into such an immaculately clean home. Terese was very easy to deal with and kindly allowed us to have a late check out so we could enjoy one more swim. Thank you for sharing your charming holiday house.

Our name is Professional Holiday Homes and we aim to live up to the word “Professional” in everything we do. The formula for our properties is based on the award winning holiday homes created by our CEO.

Our approach to property management is that we want you to feel that the property is your own for a few days. As such we limit our communications to a few important emails, but otherwise we will leave you alone!

What you will get from us are well equipped, fairly priced, pet and family friendly holiday homes that are loved by their owners.

We work in a people business and very infrequently things go wrong - if this happens we will do our best to rectify the situation immediately. In busy periods it may take us a few hours to get to messages so picking up the phone is the fastest and best way for us to provide you with the support you need in an urgent situation.

Why they chose this property

Discover seaside delights in Culburra Beach, where famous Australian photographer Max Dupain snapped the iconic Sunbaker picture in 1937. In the beautiful Shoalhaven region on the NSW South Coast, Culburra will enchant you with fine beaches, sparkling waterways and superb fishing.

Warrain Beach is Culburra’s surf beach and a major attraction where surfing, swimming, fishing and relaxing on fine white sands are popular activities. The Nowra Culburra Surf Lifesaving Club patrols the beach, south of Penguin Head. Culburra Beach Surf School offers surfing lessons and board hire.

Just north of Culburra are Crookhaven Heads Lighthouse and Crookhaven and Shoalhaven rivers, part of Australia’s Oyster Coast. You can taste succulent local oysters from Jim Wild’s Oyster Service at Greenwell Point, a charming village on the Crookhaven estuary and a short drive from Culburra.

Explore the waterway in a boat or kayak from South Coast Retreat Boat and Kayak Hire at Greenwell Point, where the Riverside Markets is held on the third Sunday of the month. Just west of Greenwell Point is picturesque Pyree, where Pyree Village Art and Handmade Market is held on the fourth Sunday.

While in Pyree, browse the gift shops at the historic Jindyandy Mill. There are more shopping opportunities in Culburra, such as Swinging Swaggy Pottery and Ocean Mirrors Gifts. To the south of Culburra is Lake Woolumboola — a popular waterway for sailing, windsurfing and waterskiing — and Currarong and Jervis Bay.

What makes this property unique

We believe our property is in one of Culburra best spots, with glorious views and access from our back door of Culburra’s main beach and also views and access to Tilbury Cove and children’s playground from our front door, the best of both worlds you could say and why we gave it the name the Glory House.
