CULBURRA
Culburra is the quintessential Aussie beach side town
Culburra Beach is on your doorstep (literally) and Warrain Beach 5 minutes' walk. Both are surf beaches. My surfing sons tell me it's the perfect combination.
The "bowlo " is fabulous and we have a Woolies which is a large, well-stocked shop with long opening hours. They will home deliver - have your shopping waiting! There is also a fabulous new restaurant/coffee shop in the centre of town called The Little Snapper.


Culburra is nestled amongst some of the Shoalhaven's most beautiful countryside.
Near bye lake and Shoalhaven River for boating - 2 boat ramps.
Great fishing: beach and river, catch fish in front of the house.
Lovely beach and bushwalks nearby, Jervis Bay, National Parks, Kangaroo Valley, Berry, Milton, Abraham's Bosom. Book on local walks available at Escape which also gives information about dog friendly local walks.
The local attractions include Callala Beach a 15-minute drive away. Towards Currarong, you'll find many more secluded white sandy beaches including gorgeous Honeymoon Bay. Delicious seafood is available at Greenwell Point.
Great local fish and the best oysters in Australia from near bye Greenwell Point.
Visit fantastic local wineries and restaurants.
Oyster farms at Greenwell Point.
Dairy Farms - visit a Robotic dairy farm, great fun!
Golf; 3 courses nearby
Horse riding
Great for bike riding. Culburra is very flat and quiet, easy to ride to the headland at the end of the street, down to the lake, river, lighthouse and shops.
Children's playground with picnic facilities 5 mins up the road or accessed from beach via Tilbury Cove.
Surf school just up the road; arrange surf lessons, hire boards, wet suits, kayaks, paddle boards.
Jervis Bay is 15 min drive away.
Lake Woollumboola nearby is famous for its bird life.
We are 2.5 hours from Sydney and 3 hours from Canberra.

Family Birthday Celebration
I booked Escape@Vulburra as a gift to my brother for his 70th birthday. I knew that he would appreciate time with the family. So his wife, children and grandchildren, joined my family (adult children and dogs) for 3 days of family time. Everyone had a relaxing time. We prepared meals in the large and well equipped kitchen, played cricket, soccer and rugby in the backyard, swam, walked and fished on the privately accessible beach, watched sport, news and movies. Everyone slept comfortably, there were plenty of impeccably clean bathrooms and the large laundry was a particular bonus for feeding the doggos and keeping up with the need for clean and dry towels! We relaxed.........the view is beyond words! We talked, laughed, ate, slept and played. Everyone thought Escape@ Culburra was THE perfect setting for a family holiday - a perfect blend of stylish, practical, beautiful, private and social. We will be returning for sure!

Outstanding Property
There was only one issue we had, it was that the side of the property on the sea side was not fenced, and our dog escaped and ran up the road. The house has been beautifully set up, comfortable furniture, bathrooms are all great, kitchen good, everything we needed for our stay and more. Extremely clean too which was excellent. Owner very accessible and helpful, provided a load of information and was quick to answer any queries we had. The pantry was also well stocked. The deck was great, good furniture to sit there and watch the sea. Only issue again, was we had to keep our dog tied up when we were out there so she didn't run off. It wouldn't be difficult to put a small fence on the inside of the property where the bushes along the side were, and would make a dog owners stay perfect. It does say in the listing the front is not fenced, but I thought I read the side was fenced but maybe I misread that. It is easy to block off the path to the beach and this would keep dogs in if the side was also blocked off. There is a fenced area on the side of the house, but if we were sitting in the beachfront area, our dog would not want to be somewhere else. This property is truly sensational, a perfect spot with a quick walk down to the beautiful beach. Views from the master bedroom and living area and the sound of the sea is fantastic. So would we come again? Absolutely, but without our dog, which is a shame as it is a perfect area for dogs on that fantastic beach.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Rhynehart

Host profile image
We are an active, retired couple with a large family of children and grandchildren. Escape is our much loved, family beach house. We enjoy travelling, gardening, hiking and spending time with our family.
We are also puppy raisers for Guide Dogs NSW and our foster puppies love their holidays @Escape!

Why they chose this property

In Feb 2010 we went to Culburra to visit a friend for a coffee and bought a house! It was rundown and multi coloured but in arguably one of the best locations on the east coast of Australia. It faces due north, has its own direct beach access onto 3 kms of pristine south coast beach and has magnificent views all the way up the coast. We did our own Grand Design project, gutting the house, adding the huge deck and fitting it out with all new furniture and appliances. We have a great photo book of the "transformation of Escape " at the house. We have also won many national and state tourism awards.
We opened for guests in Jan 2011 and since then we have hosted 430 guest groups receiving 227 5-star reviews. Many of our guests are regulars coming back year after year. We get a great deal of enjoyment from providing a great guest experience. We also frequently enjoy the house with our family and friends which I think gives it that unique family ambiance which is so often mentioned in our reviews.
We are new to the delights of the South Coast and continue to be delighted by its beauty and pristine nature.
It is just as fabulous in winter as in summer with its direct north aspect the house fills with sunshine while the open fire heats the whole house at night.
We have just completed a major renovation of Escape from June to Dec 2020. We have replaced the roof, all windows and doors, replaced and extended the deck and added a Cabana for shade and entertaining, repainted inside and out, added an En suite bathroom to the main bedroom and replaced most of the furniture. It looks terrific!

What makes this property unique

We stayed in many rental properties when our children were growing up and Escape is a "wish list " of all the things we'd have wanted in a rental house!
The most unique thing about Escape is its location -one of the best spots on the east coast -faces due north with direct beach access down the south safe swimming end of Culburra Beach. The views are amazing from all the living areas and the main bedroom.
We pride ourselves in providing an excellent, quality holiday experience. All the beds are comfortable with quality linen and towels, all the appliances are of good quality and in excellent working order, we have a full pantry and many extras which are not usually included in holiday letting properties. We are also pet friendly -it is rare to get such a quality property which allows pets both inside and out.
I think many of our reviews highlight the many special things about Escape.
We have won many National and regional tourism awards and display our awards proudly at the house!
