Summary: Cosy beachside couples getaway. I’m awash with sun-kissed rooms and nestled in a playful seaside town, lapped by the white sandy beaches of Jervis Bay. Soak up the sunshine, sip on spritzers, and witness amazing dawn skies, all on my sun-drenched deck overlooking the sparkling waters of the bay. Mid-week stays make for magical, uncrowded stretches of sand, with less of the monopoly that the weekends bring about. This is Sandy feet and salty hair.
The Space: I am Minerva Cottage, your home away from home. With so many options on hand I am the perfect destination for a restful, or playful, coastal getaway – the choice is completely yours! I have the cooler months covered with electric blankets on all my beds, outdoor fire pit for toasting marshmallows and my northerly aspect means I am sun drenched all day long. My boutique rooms are full of all the creature comforts just waiting to spoil you.
Enjoy two intimately-sized bedrooms adorned with a king bed bed in the master and queen bed in the secondary bedroom, luxe slippers, bathrobes, woollen blankets, and linen as soft as fleece.
Revel in the mastery of good old-fashioned home cooking in my modern kitchen, stocked with utensils and the basics for creating a gourmet work of art. There are loads of cookbooks and foodie mags for inspiration. And if you prefer to don your culinary skills amidst the sea breeze air, a Meat Eaters barbeque is available on my entertainers’ deck.
For breakfast, you can enjoy complimentary hand-made muesli and Nespresso coffee.
Mix up some herbal tea or kick the party into gear with your own cocktail (or mocktail) fusion using herbs from my garden – it’s brimming with fresh offerings of mint, rosemary, oregano, thyme and chilli.
You can chillax on my comfortable lounge and catch your favourite movie on Netflix or from the DVD library.
Get your camping vibe on, take in the night’s stars and salty air, right next to your very own outdoor fire pit. Unwind with a good book (included too), a complimentary bottle of red, and make use of the fire utensils and kindling included for free. I don’t mind sharing at all.
On arrival, I’ll also surprise and delight you with some special treats we know will make your stay just that little bit better.
They say home is where the heart is, but I am a treat for the entire body. My attention to detail is lavish. So, let’s meet someday soon!
Guest Access: I am your home away from home, you will enjoy exclusive use
The Neighborhood: Spoilt for choice; it’s just a casual stroll to the stunningly exclusive Orions Beach and a brief drive to experience the splendour of locations like Hyams Beach, Murrays Beach and Greenpatch.
Watch dolphins at play in the bay and you may even get a glimpse of a whale or two as they pass through between May and November. There are numerous companies who offer boat tours and experiences with these majestic beauties. Don’t forget to pack your camera.
My fav cafe, Albert and Miso is a 15min stroll away. The perfect spot for a fresh juice, EXCELLENT coffee and the most amazing Breaky Burrito
Other Things to Note: Comfort and convenience is Minerva Cottage’s game.
If the beach is beckoning you for some fun in the sun – grab your beach towels and sunscreen, along with a frisbee, snorkels, paddle bat ball games.
There is an ample stash of DVD’s, books, Netflix and free WIFI too!
The main bedroom offers space to store your luggage, whilst the generous queen bed and extra comforts in the guest bedroom mean rationed storage and floor space.

A great house in a terrific location
The house was modern and clean, and walking distance to the local shops and beach. The front verandah, with its ocean views, was ideal for passing the time away! We would definitely recommend.

Comfortable and stylish cottage
We stayed for a long weekend with our dog at Minerva Cottage and we wished we’d stayed longer. This is a comfy and stylish cottage, thoughtfully fitted out and just delightful. We loved the water views & morning sun on the front deck, and afternoon sunlight on the back deck. Such a quick trip to all the beautiful beaches and delish food too.
We’d love to return for a longer break next time. Thank you Bede, Rob and the Supercalla team!

Loved it! Would stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house has been totally renovated and was immaculate. It felt stylish yet cosy and homely. The views from the deck are amazing and we could hear the waves. The gifts that were left were really thoughtful and very much appreciated and enjoyed! The home felt loved and cared for -we will stay again and recommend.

All the small details where covered, it had everything plus more.
A fantastic well decorated place, with the thought of details I didn’t expect. A few blocks up the hill from the beach but the view is amazing. Not fenced but I liked that, it made you feel like your on the South Coast not in blocked estate.
Thanks to the managing agents they went above and beyond.
Didn’t get to use the fire Pitt, but I would recommend this place, the owners had a wonderful gift pack, even slippers and robes.

The Views over the ocean + the Sunrises!!
Incredible spot- perched on the high side with sweeping views over the bay- the sunrises and sunsets were captivating and lit up the home with the most beautiful warm glow! Location was perfect for exploring each of the white sanded beaches nearby, right along to the popular hyams beach where you can stop for a bite to eat and a drink of choice! Also, it’s the perfect place to bring your pup along- the dog friendly beach is gorgeous! Love that dogs are welcome here! A winter stay was perfect to avoid the hustle and bustle of high season! It was so peaceful and the winter sun still allowing us to get around in shorts and tee!! The house itself had EVERYTHING (even zooper doopers! Biggest fan!!), beds were super comfy, fire pit was stocked ready- with everything we needed and we all love an aesthetically, new and fresh space to call home while on holidays- this property ticked all the boxes!
And to top it off- the hosts Bede and Rob were amazing, super pleasant, responsive and accomodating, adding an extra night and getting the home ready for us at last minute, Having the house lights on and the home beautifully warm for our late night/ early morning arrival!
Thanks again Bede and Rob! We look for forward to our next visit! Xx
