Cosy Currumbin Cottage

Space

Currumbin Cottage is open plan, with a light and airy feeling. There is a garden at the front, as well as a large private garden at the back on 2 levels. The cottage is built on the side of a tree-covered hill. It is very close to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, so there are always beautiful birds flying through the garden on their way to and from the sanctuary, as well as other wildlife like water dragons, geckos and bush turkeys.

Access

Currumbin Cottage is furnished with an eclectic mix of antique and modern furniture and art works, giving it a comfortable, quirky and relaxed feel.
