The closest cottage to Little Bay, located on the fringe of Little Bay...

Nestled quietly amongst the trees, you will find this charming two-bedroom cottage located
on the fringe of Arakoon National Park.

With Little Bay beach and picnic area at your back door and nearby attractions such as Trial
Bay Gaol, Laggers Point, and the Smoky Cape Lighthouse only a few minutes away, this is the
perfect escape for a weekend of bushwalking, fishing, swimming, and exploring.

The cottage boasts an open plan kitchen, dining, and lounge that spills out through glass
doors to the deck area. You can cook your dinner on the Gas BBQ while relaxing on the
deck.

The main bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom has 3 single beds consisting
of a set of bunks and a trundle. The bathroom features a separate toilet and the laundry is
located downstairs underneath the house with a washing machine and dryer.

This cottage is in the perfect position for a short hike across to Trial Bay Gaol via Monument
Hill walking track and finish the loop back via the Bridle Trail or Powder Magazine track.
Monument Hill is a haven for bird watchers with fantails, wrens, and honeyeaters fluttering
about while hawks, falcons, and ospreys soar above the cliffs and forage along the beaches.
Also, at the right time of year, Little Bay is the perfect whale watching location.

Wildlife is in abundance in the area, however please ensure you keep your distance and
admire from afar. Feeding wildlife is strictly prohibited as it is detrimental to the health and
wellbeing of our precious fauna.

Please note that sheets and towels are not supplied but can be hired for an additional
fee by contacting our office. Strictly no pets are allowed on the property, as the property is
within Arakoon National Park.

Little Bay cottage is an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Don't forget to pack your swimmers, sun cream, snorkels and bug spray of course!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely charming! Little Bay Cottage is a hidden gem that offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with a sense of peace and tranquillity that’s truly rejuvenating. The cottage itself is wonderfully cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.What truly sets Little Bay Cottage apart, though, is its stunning natural surroundings. Nestled in a serene location, it offers excellent views and an abundance of wildlife that enhances the overall experience. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch while watching kangaroos graze or enjoying a peaceful walk through the national park, the connection to nature is truly special.I highly recommend Little Bay Cottage to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat.

Comfortable cottage in a great location
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here several times and this time was just as good. It's a basic but comfirtable cottage and the location is great, just a 5 minute walk to Littel Bay Beach and the headland walks and it is only a few minutes drive to town. The only complaint is the bad smell from the toilet, of urine, which we don;t think was cleaned prior to our arrival. Not ideal but otherwise we had a great stay.

Nestled in Nature
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just experienced our best Christmas holiday ever. This is the perfect location! Nestled in nature with Koalas in the trees, Kangaroos on the grass and only a 3 minute walk to Little Bay Beach and bush walking tracks - this place is beautiful. The accommodation is quaint, comfortable and clean. There is a constant cool coastal breeze that cooled the house and kept it comfortable, there were also fans if required. Arakoon is just a short drive (or a comfortable walk) from south west rocks restaurants and shopping precinct. It is away from the hustle and bustle of this tourist town. The beautiful Trial bay is just around the corner, accessed by car or beautiful short bush walks. There is so much to do and enjoy in this region... I will definitely be back and would stay again at Little Bay Cottage, it was ideal for me and my two girls and our love of nature and the outdoors.

As advertised. Basic but functional with surprisingly well stocked kitchen utensils. Some ambient lighting in living area wouldn’t go astray i.e. a lamp or two.
