About this property

Bluetongue @ Culburra: Pet Friendly, 4 Mins to Beach

You’ll be staying at a classic beach house with a wonderful, eclectic style that will take you back in time to the summers of your childhood. Brushed with a 1960’s vibe, Bluetongue is classic surf shack that captures the quintessential essence of beach life on the South Coast. Whilst relaxing on the back deck from the main living area you can simply relax enjoy the sea breeze whilst you’ll sip a glass of wine and listen to the waves crash in the distance. Winter visitors will love the combustion fire with complimentary firewood which will keep you warm and toasty on those crisp south coast nights.

The large outdoor garden is the ideal spot to launch a tennis ball to the dog, read a book and watch the children play. When you do come inside your only difficulty will be deciding how to relax. Maybe kick back on the couch and enjoy Netflix, listen to some tunes or reconnect the family over a well-contested board game. Whilst the kids and dog play you can be busy uploading your amazing holiday photos using the complimentary unlimited wifi.

On the back deck the chef of the family can show off their culinary skills in the woodfire pizza oven, or on the BBQ before the family gathers around to laugh, tell tales and enjoy a memorable feast (please BYO wood for pizza oven).

When it’s finally time to hit the hay, you’ll find four bedrooms with inviting beds with extra pillows and blankets if you need them. Fans for summer and heaters for winter will keep you so comfortable that you won’t want to get up the next day. But you’ll already know from our exclusive guidebook that there are so many things to see and do in the Culburra; Jervis Bay area – from where to shop and where to dine out to in-the-know local knowledge of the area’s “hidden secrets” that you’ll want to jump out of bed and explore

But before you head out for the day be sure to enjoy a lazy holiday breakfast and an espresso coffee on the back deck.

Holidays are precious and memories are forever. We invite you to make beautiful family memories with us at Bluetongue Beach House.

Disappointed with some aspects of the cleanliness of the property
We were very satisfied with the location and amenities provided at the property. However we were very disappointed with some aspects of the cleanliness of the property. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms were covered in a dust, as were the power points and light switches. One of the bedroom windows had mould on the window frame. The spa had sand in it and the outside decking and eating area had garden debri and dust on the floor.

Firstly this place has a lot of potential for being really amazing! Just let down by a few very small things E.g: In the main living room one of the switches trips all the lights in the house The main sliding glass doors don’t even open up And a few small other things this place would be amazing.

Great time had by all!
We had a great time at this property We arrived and found the house and all amenities very clean and tidy. Loved the extra fluffy blankets in the lounge to snuggle with of a night. We loved discovering little luxuries, including a very well equipped kitchen. Spa was a needed after the day trips, was clean and serviced twice during our stay The close proximity to shops and beach was handy. Great place to do day trips from Property management staff were friendly and prompt with any maintenance that was need Other than the weather, a great stay was had by all!

Absolutely disgusting
The place was dirty and run down. Nothing like in the pictures. Extremely overpriced for what is offered. The fridge was filthy, the floor and furniture dirty and I could go on and on. The owner clearly does not care about feedback provided previously and making any improvements. He just cares about the money. Definitely do not stay there!

It was overall a nice stay.
It was a lovely property, some adjusting of the following would help: 1)probably needs a new dining table set with new chairs inside, as my niece sat on one of the chair’s and she fell to the ground and injured her back as the chair broke. 2)also the back yard lawn was not mowed and the pergola area was messy and not blown 3) also needs a new couch as we could feel the legs weren’t steady. 4) the bathroom tiles in the kids bedroom were coming off

Cosy beach home
Bluetongue is located in an area that is near to everything. You can simply take a leisurely stroll to the beach or if you are lazy, a quick less-than-5-minutes drive to the beach. Whilst the description of the house was quite accurate, the cleanliness upon check in is not on par to the cleaning fee we paid for or would expect on check in. Whilst every effort was made to contact the property managers to have the house cleaned (the floors dirty and the shower cubicle was not clean at all), the cleaners never did come by to give the house another clean. We also had an issue with the oven working. This is not the fault of the owners or property managers but a guide on how to operate major appliances would be a plus-point.

The amazing view and the wonderful location
The place was well located as you can do many activities such as bushwalking, swimming at the closest beach (which was 4 minutes away), go drive around to see other beaches that were at 20-30 minutes drive (the journey was worth it when arriving at the destination) and many other things.

Sunny days
Overall our stay was great. Location is perfect, with a short walk to the beach and a sunny drenched deck with large backyard perfect for the dog. The down side is the house is in need of a really good clean, a dust and surfaces wiped. In the kitchen we found utensils and crockery had seen better day's and some things could do with being replaced. Plastic chopping board's had mould on them, milk frother still had old milk in it. We also found a pair of undies in the corner of a room. These are things that can be fixed and will make for a more comfortable stay.

Great for families
Bluetongue is a charming, well-equipped and affordable property with a laidback beachy vibe. It was perfect for our extended family group, including our labrador puppy. We stayed for a week. The deck and backyard gets lots of sun and is a great place to hang out, and we enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen has everything you'd expect and more, and there is a washing machine and dryer in the laundry. The wi-fi was reliable and there are plenty of books, games and DVDs. The house is walking distance to a beautiful and dog-friendly beach and a cafe/shop with good coffee, excellent fish and chips, and general supplies. There is a very good playground and skate park nearby.
