About this property

Culburra Retreat - Newly Renovated, Pet Friendly, 4 Min Walk to the Beach

  • Culburra Retreat has had a new lease of life. Our much-loved beach cottage has been rebuilt and restyled from the roof down. It's still the same relaxed, sandy-feet holiday house, just warmer, brighter and more beautiful than ever, and now with air conditioning to keep you cool on those hot summer days. And it's only a short stroll to the famous (but usually deserted) Culburra Beach.

    Everything here is about unwinding. Curl up with a novel on the couch, let your favourite music drift from room to room, or start the morning with a proper coffee from the espresso machine. Hungry? Fire up the barbie on the brand-new hardwood deck. Thirsty? The mojitos go down a treat as you sink into a deck chair on a blue-sky day. And yes, there's fast Wifi.

    Out the back, the garage has been turned into a fun zone that kids (and plenty of grown-ups) love: ping pong, darts and an art space for little creatives. It's the perfect spot for rainy afternoons, or for settling who's doing the dishes.

    Venturing from the Retreat, days are all about swimming, snorkelling, surfing and whale watching. Of course, it may simply be about lazing on the golden sands with a good book. Just a 4-minute walk 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 the sleepy town of Culburra on the NSW South Coast, is the place to unwind for anyone who needs a break to remember. And come back to time and again.

Beach holiday

We loved our week in Culburra. The house was exactly as it had been described. So close to the beach which was one of our priorities when booking. Fantastic enclosed garden for our dog so we knew he was safe and happy when we were out. Love the garden and deck. Thank you

Great little beach shack

We had a lovely week in Culburra - the house is small but has everything you need. We are a family of 4 with a dog and the beach is so close that you can hear the waves from the backyard deck. David was super quick to respond when I had a query and the kids had a great time swinging in the hammock and playing ping pong in the garage.

Mums 60th

The property was perfect for a wekeend away fo celebrate my mums 60th. Other family stayed at the caravan park which was only a few minutes away so we could visit each other. The kids could come to the house and play in the back yard and it was a short walk to the beach. The backyard was perfect for the dogs to run around and enjoy the sun. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

The best of the best

We keep coming back every year as this property is truly special. It’s our family’s happy place. For starters, David is the most personable, generous and relaxed host. He is a pleasure to deal with. The property itself is stylishly appointed and is wonderfully equipped for both cooking and relaxing. The ever changing stack of high end recipe books are my favourite feature! Location wise, it is a perfect base for the nearby beachfront. My pets couldn’t have been happier as there were no finicky rules and they were truly welcomed as part of our family. Dog bowls and poo bags were even provided. We will be back again next year :-) Thanks again David.
