Idle Hours - Pet Friendly - 5 Mins Walk to Beach
If your ideal holiday revolves around the great outdoors, this much-loved 1950s beach shack will be the perfect base to soak up the sun and sand and explore everything the beautiful Culburra Beach has to offer.
With a massive backyard and plenty of room for the boat, this cosy setup will remind you of the carefree coastal holidays you took as a kid. Get ready to feel the sand in your toes and the breeze in your hair as you enjoy a weekend of fishing, surfing, and cruising the coast.
Reminiscent of childhood getaways but modernised with all the essentials – including comfy furniture, a smart TV, air conditioning in the living room, ceiling fan in the main bedroom and pedestal fan in the third bedroom, Nespresso machine, and portable Bluetooth speaker – this character-filled, open plan beach house is all about relaxed living.
Slap on some sunscreen and throw on your thongs as you head out the door first thing in the morning, and take a short, leisurely walk to Warrain Beach, Culburra Beach, or Lake Wollumboola to get your fill of swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and any just about any other water-based adventure you can think of!
When it’s time for lunch you can grab some fish and chips from the local takeaway shop or cook up a fresh feast on the BBQ. Then shake the sand from your feet and pull up a chair outside to enjoy watching the kids tire themselves out on the massive lawn, ideal for backyard cricket, kicking the footy, and playing fetch with the dog.
As the day ends, settle down with a book, board game, or movie, and know that the memories you create at Idle Hours will be cherished by your family forever.

Great easy walk down to the beach with leash free options for our dog. A wonderful cafe just up the road (Fishwicks). A good central spot to explore other beaches/waterways by car, like Currawong, Callala and Greenwell Point, along with a run into Nowra.
My 2 sons and I and my dog had a lovely 2 nights there for my mothers funeral. 2 of the bedrooms were small but ok. My 6 foot son couldn’t fit in the bunks. Extremely clean and lovely big yard for my dog.
has everything you could need (except maybe a pool!). Backyard is absolutely massive! Suburb does not have much going on. This place is all about closeness (<5min walk) to 2 awesome beaches. Really enjoyed our 2 night stay there.
