We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January.

If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Xmas at Culburra
It was disappointing that the garden was overgrown and the lawn needed mowing. One of the bedroom doors had a damaged latch and couldn’t be closed. The vacuum cleaner was very ineffective and there was no broom. The gas ran out after a day, but, luckily, we worked out how to switch the bottles. We were advised we couldn’t check in before 4, although, this was revised to 3.30 on enquiry. This is later than we would have preferred.

Cottage is clean and tidy , well maintained. There is no privacy and excessive construction.
While the cottage is clean and tidy and well maintained, the information regarding the construction was far from accurate. Tradesman everywhere including pressure washing the roof of the adjacent property at 7.30am. Tradesman had to enter the yard twice, the noise was excessive. The is no privacy. Spoke to property manager who said they would investigate and resolve within 48 hours- that was over a week ago and follow up emails have not been answered. Website said construction was mostly midweek but started at 7am Monday morning and continued. Parking is on the street but we had to park two houses away initially due to others parked out front. Also lack of room in wardrobes, we couldn't unpack our suitcases. Otherwise this was a pleasant stay but the construction ruined it.
