This little getaway cottage is perfect for all seasons. The cosy stylish cottage with exposed beam ceilings has a living area, kitchen, large bedroom and bathroom.

Perfect for a couple but also fine with 2 kids. Bring your small dog along to take advantage of the unleashed beaches and some of the best dog walks in the state. Walk to Ettalong shops (about a 200m walk) and 300m to the white sandy beaches, bars, cafes and award winning restaurants or use the 2 push bikes provided at the cottage to get around. You have on offer many surf and calm waterways and magnificent walks in surrounding national parks that hug Ettalong Beach. Take your pick from surfing, swimming, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, cycling and boating in this waterfront town on the Central Coast of NSW. Or just laze around at the cottage, enjoy a cocktail with a bbq and all with complete privacy.

What an amazing little place and the perfect location for short or long stays. We loved the beachy feel the place had and with only a very short 4min walk to the beach. Being able to take our little toy poodle with us and go for walks along the beach meant the world to us and we will certainly book this property again. The owner is super responsive and great to deal with.Highly recommend this place!

A week vacation with pets on the coast

Travelled from Bathurst to spend a week on the coast with small pets.perfect lodging for us and pets and autonomous enough to control anxious pets away from home close enough to pet friendly beach to allow us and pets to run free and experience calm shallow surf despite rain and wind, a holiday is always a pleasurable experience, and we managed to be outdoors every day considering that was the planneighbourhood restaurants cafes and eateries all within short vicinity of stayrecommend this stay and will do it again

What a great stay!!! Love this place.

This was a great place. Every single part of our stay was fabulous. The communication with the owners was always very fast and with lots of detail, the place itself was beautifully set up (I think that we were the first people to stay there), lots of basics in the pantry already with loads of nice touches and a lovely beach vibe to the whole cottage. The location of the place is just 5 mins walk (or 2 minute drive) to Ettalong Beach - GREAT LOCATION! Close to beach, shops & restaurants. We were a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 kids 13 & 9). The 2nd room was a great set up - like an oversized granny flat in a secure space. All very safe and again, beautifully appointed. I would have no hesitation in recommending this place - affordable and a great location (check out LA Taco, Lords of the Pour, Palacinki Cafe & Safran - local places while here). Would def come back!!!

Great for short stay

We stayed 3 weeks a bit too small for that long, I don't think they usually have people stay that long. There is no dish washing machine or microwave, there could have been a few plastic containers, a radio would be nice and we defiantly needed a mop and broom, I found a sort of broom outside. The clock stopped a couple of days in we bought a battery but that doesn't seem to be the problem. We turned the fridge up on a really hot day and it started making a dreadful noise.

Great little getaway

Great little granny flat(s) and little outdoor space, close to shops and restaurants. Clementine was a great host and the place had most basics you could need. Decorated well and clean. The only extras we could think of was that it was a cold but clear winters night and it would have been nice to have an outdoor gas heater to stay out a little longer with our glass of wine :)

Perfect Ettalong beach stay

Clementine was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We love the home and was a short walk to ettalong beach or a quick drive to umina beach. The house was comfortable for our family of 4 and 1 dog. I would certainly return if I revisit Ettalong beach again.

Little Gem

Although small in size, it’s very relaxing and close enough to get to beaches. Nice to also have a clean bbq for use (would suggest they buy a drip tray). Great place, and being dog friendly was a bonus.
