Escape @Culburra Absolute Beach Front -private access / Amazing Views / Luxury


Escape is a truly amazing holiday home - the best we have ever stayed in "Jane G Jan 2023
“Escape is our number one choice for staying in Culburra "Belinda"
Winner of 6 South Coast Tourism and Stayz Awards
Luxury Designer Beach House, absolute beachfront, amazing views, huge deck, huge new cabana on the deck, open fire, north facing, lovely flat lawn area, multi award winning holiday home. We have direct, private access to the safe swimming, south end of Culburra Beach near Tilbury Cove.
Escape is one of the rarest of gems on the east coast - faces due north and right on the beach in the premier "dress circle " of Culburra - located at the superior safe (patrolled in summer) swimming south end of Culburra Beach near Tilbury Cove.
Our calendar is always accurate and up to date.
Escape is the perfect holiday home for families, groups of singles, couples and holidaying with your dog. We are located near many of the local wedding venues at Terara, Merribee, Nowra and Berry so the perfect base for guests and families.

Woolworths and BWS both near bye
DOG FRIENDLY – inside and out. Maximum of 2 dogs unless agreed with owner.Fully fenced, large front yard, (street side) secure side courtyard. The beach is always dog friendly and leash free at certain hours every day depending on the season. The backyard (beach side) is not fenced but we find our dogs to not stray far from the elevated lawn area (see photos) while we are around. Strictly no cats.


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.


We raise puppies for Guide Dogs N.S.W. Puppies spend their first 12 months with us prior to starting their "official " Guide Dog training. They absolutely love their holidays at Escape, and we have lots of photos at the house or on our Facebook page. Escape@Culburra

Blissful Base for a Family Celebration
Escape set the scene for a wonderful few days of an extended family catch up and celebration. The house is stunning and the setting spectacular. The amazingly well-stocked kitchen was an added bonus. The young teens loved the bunk room (and the beach, who said you can’t swim mid-winter?). The John Olsen prints were also a highlight. We’d love to come back!

Beautiful beach house with everything you need
The house is well situated to maximise the extraordinary views as well as having direct beach side access. It’s also well positioned to explore the local area. We found it the ideal ‘escape’ for some much needed R&R - comfortable, well catered and quiet.

We have stayed at Escape a number of times and always have a wonderful time. The home and the location are gorgeous and there is nothing Jen has not thought of.

Beautiful property
We loved our time at Escape, it's so relaxing and like the fact that there are no clocks, so there's no time schedule. It was lovely to be able to take our dog with us, she also loved it. No matter what the weather it's still just as enjoyable taking in the view from inside

Escape is a truely amazing holiday home - the best we’ve ever stayed in. The home accommodated 8 adults plus dogs with comfort and the living areas, both inside and outside, are very spacious. The owners were very easy to correspond with which makes it hassle free so you can just enjoy your holiday. The extremely well stocked kitchen is a real bonus. The view and location is truely spectacular at Escape and we couldn’t have asked for more. Wonderful!

Relaxing and unwinding at Culburra
Escape at Culburra was the perfect stay for my family. Direct access to a beautiful beach, clean and spacious property, wonderful deck and garden and spectacular view. We did everything we planned to; beach walks, surfing, spear fishing, kayaking, playing games, reading on the deck, cooking and unwinding from a busy year. And it was super that the property is dog friendly and we could take our Cavalier along too. I would highly recommend it to others looking for a great place to relax with family and friends.

Family holiday with our dogs
Our family of adults and two dogs had an amazing trip, staying at Escape at Culburra Beach. Jen is the best host we have ever had at a holiday house. She was easy to communicate with, provided timely responses and had the house set up with so many extra touches to ensure our stay was great. The house was very clean, the furnishings were beautiful and it also suited our dogs perfectly. The views out to the ocean were spectacular with easy access to the house and beach. Enjoying the sun, watching the ocean (with dolphins) while being warmed by the wood fire was perfect. Can't wait to go back and stay again!

Stunning contemporary comfortable home. Great spaces inside and out. Well equipped and top location. Even though the weather was unfortunately very wet and windy we had such a relaxing chilled time. Looking out to the beach and the sea made you feel you were outside anyway. Excellent communication from the host prior , during and after our stay. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

Great beachside getaway
Another great stay at Escape Culburra . Wonderful place to take our two beach loving pups. Great to see a high quality house that has no qualms about well-behaved pets ...wish there were more around Australia. We have stayed in many places around the world and the one thing that makes a good property stand out (beside the comfortable beds and great view ) is the attention to detail and generosity of the host. Everything you could possible need is catered for at Escape. A property and host that we would highly recommend!

Amazing property!
Escape @ Culburra is an incredible property that exceeded our expectations in every regard. As good as the photos look, the reality is even better, with stunning views and north facing aspect - the living spaces were drenched in warm sunlight during our winter stay. Everything at the property has been very well thought through in terms of the design and use of space, with quality furnishings, fittings and inclusions, especially the beautiful art throughout and the well equipped kitchen. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and will definitely be booking again and recommending to our friends and family. Thank you Jennifer and Ian!
