Callala Beach Shack - Pet Friendly

It's time to coast!

Just a 200m/3-minute walk puts you on the white sands of Callala Beach, we really are that close to the beach! Beach views from the top deck and loft window!

Spread out over 3 levels & 5 bedrooms, Callala Beach Shack is the perfect accommodation for your family getaway, all grown-up family gathering, several couples, or taking some romantic time out just
for 2.

We are only two and a half hour drive from Sydney airport and three hours from Canberra. Don't forget we are also pet-friendly & so is Callala Beach!

With off-leash times all year round.

(October – April)
4 pm - 8 pm

(May – September)
(3 pm - 10 am)

Please check the signage on each entrance as there are other rules.

Enjoy walks, building sandcastles, reading on the beach, or going for a swim in the clear waters of Jervis Bay. You can also go cycling, fishing, tennis, golf, and many other local activities including
diving trips, whale /dolphin watching & sailing tours, or you just relax & soak up the sun…

Spend the afternoons and evenings on the covered back deck, with an outdoor dining setting, and a gas BBQ. There's a good-sized yard that is fully fenced for kids & dogs to play in including a swing set
& other sports equipment & outdoor games.

The 1st & loft levels are air-conditioned for your comfort, or you may choose to open the deck doors & listen to the sounds of Jervis Bay in your footstep.

The ground floor is also air-conditioned in both the kitchenette/living area.

There is a digital HD TV and DVD/Chromecast in the main living area.

The property is fully fenced so the kids are safe & dogs are welcome on the ground floor & outside. The local beach is nearly all off-leash and dog-friendly.

We just ask that you notify us if your four-legged friend will be coming. Water & food bowls are there so just bring your best friend's bedding.

This is a shack so works well for children and its configuration works well for extended family groups. Has been done up but not in a particularly professional way. Not particularly well equipped but very comfortable beds.

Our group of friends had a great time at this place which was quite spacious (5 bedrooms) and the amenities and large backyard made our stay quite enjoyable after long days out and about. Callala Beach was a leisurely 2 min walk along a quiet main road. Will consider again in future.

Beautiful light-filled home so close to the beach! The Beach Shack is a perfect home away from home that can comfortably accommodate 2 families and fur babies. To top it all off, the property owners are locals and were quick to respond to requests. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back!

A perfect pet friendly place to stay
Plenty of parking at the front & secure good sized pet friendly back yard. Nice big covered back deck area good night lights. The BBQ is big but is different to the pictures and 3 of the burners don't work. The downstairs apartment is a good size with kitchenette, washer and a big bathroom. The loft at the top was great my boy loved it. There are lots of beds throughout the house upstairs & downstairs. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable and clean. Plenty of blankets and pillows too. We brought our own anyway. Has a small but cozy lounge area with Chromecast and the dining table was big enough. We loved the fire pit at night. The kitchen is small but well stocked. The fridge has seen better days but does the job. The top main bathroom is nice enough it has a corner bath. The fan is a bit noisy. There is a long crack in the front facing top sliding door lower panel (was rhere before us). I'd like to suggest there should to be a condition report noting damage already at the property before you go, or acknowledgement there are some things damaged they already know of so everyone is on the same page when it comes to the condition of the property prior to entering. It's in a good location near the beach. The sunsets are lovely from the balcony & people are friendly. Overall, we had a nice break away from home, would we go back? We'd consider it. Great prompt communication from the host pretty seamless booking transaction which I prefer. Thank you 😊

Relaxing Weekend Away
The location is perfect such a short stroll to the beach, the house is big enough for everyone and we had a good time away as a family. There were a couple of minor issues around TLC for the house that we've mentioned to Roxii but outside of that, everything was good. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place.

Great holiday experience
The place housed the 12 of us comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped and convenient, although the dishwasher could be bigger. Distance to the beach was perfect - we didn't get the traffic of beach goers, while still being able to hear the waves from our bedrooms. The property can do with some maintenance but overall comfortable and relaxing. Communication with the owners was prompt and their consideration for a later than usual checkout was a bonus. Thank you Geoff and Roxanne!

Owners were easy to communicate with. We had 7 adults and 6 children (3-11years) staying. The washer dryer combo is actually just a washer but was not a big deal. Kitchen is small but well equipped. Some maintenance would be ideal, however property is as advertised - not fancy but comfortable. Great location so close to the beach in a quiet residential area. Highly recommended.

Great for a large family or two families.
The property had everything we needed to accommodate a large group of people and kids. The size of dining table inside and outside made eating a breeze. The balcony And backyard were favourite spots. The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful. The DVD/VHS players are a bit outdated and temperamental, and sometimes didn’t work. This normally wouldn’t be an issue but it rained for two days straight during our stay which meant we did rely on the entertainment inside the house. The other things I would advise other guests is that the “queen size sofa bed” is actually a futon bed which according to my father was not very comfortable. Other than that the place was great.
