About this property

Shore Thing Absolute Waterfront - Currarong. Luxury, family friendly beach house

Welcome to Shore Thing where you can turn your holiday into an unforgettable memory. Enjoy luxury accommodation, fabulous views and scenery, spectacular fishing, bush-walking, snorkelling, surfing, water sports and more.
Meticulously renovated to the highest standard and family friendly: it is everything a beach escape should be. Shore Thing is so homely you won't want to leave. That is until you look outside.
The house is built on the edge of a lagoon with stunning 180 degree views to the ocean. You can swim, fish, paddle-board and kayak right from your back door step. Or sit back on the deck and view the daily parade of holiday activity: from paddle-boarders at high tide to soldier crabs at low tide.
Shore Thing has everything an old-fashioned family holiday needs: most of which are easily accessible by foot.
Zac's Place for fish and chips is a few minutes stroll away but it's hard to beat BBQing on the deck with parakeets and kookaburras dropping in, pelicans gliding onto the lagoon and the sun setting below the horizon.
Shore Thing is so homely you won't want to leave. There are 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living areas and a billiard room. It has a fully equipped galley kitchen and a sun-drenched deck with a BBQ, overlooking the water. It caters to a maximum of 12 guests.
It's a double-storey house, there's another secluded deck downstairs with a day-bed and lounge setting. There's plenty of private spaces for everyone.

There's an outside shower, which is perfect for rinsing off after a swim.

Shore Thing is situated in the sleepy outpost of Currarong: a quiet seaside village where time stands still. It is 2.5 hours drive from Sydney and 2.5 hours from Canberra. The beaches are beautiful, peaceful and uncrowded. There are excellent bush-walks in the National Park at Beecroft Head, where you can spot dolphins and whales and explore the shipwreck of the SS Merimbula.

Gorgeous Golden memories made at Shore Thing

Shore Thing was the perfect paradise for our inter generational family holiday. Relaxing for adults whilst exciting and adventurous for children of all ages. We couldn’t have chosen a better property to celebrate our Golden wedding anniversary with family. Well done Jenny. Your house exceeded our expectations and is just lovely.

Host was super communicative which makes you feel like an old friend, went out of her way to make sure any requests were met. House was inviting, clean and well set up. Easy access to water, and has hand rail. If you want to recharge your batteries and have a wonderful view, this is the place.

Perfect location for a family getaway

We loved our stay here. The location is perfect, and we were able to fish and paddle board directly from the back steps. We had 12 people in total ranging from 6 to 80yrs old and it was amazing that the grandparents could relax on the balcony and watch the kids have fun in the water. The pool table got a LOT of use as well. It's a beautifully presented house, very clean and a great layout of bedrooms allowing everyone to have their own space. We'd love to come back again.

Location & amenities great - but cleaniness & maintenance issues let this lovely place down.

Family 3 day getaway. The house and location were great. Plenty of room for all of us and bedrooms were cozy. Unfortunately there were issues around cleanliness & maintenance that let this property down. Under the main lounge was covered in a very thick layer of crumbs & dust (including a mouldy piece of half eated donut). Which was found whilst looking for one of my grandchild's toys. The main lounge itself & it's many scatter cushions were al a bit grubby & need a wash (making it uncomfortable to sit on). Kitchen fridge door seals are all in need of replacement, making it difficult to close the doors properly. There was a cochroach infestation in the downstairs area, crawling over the pool table and beds durtge night. The lights downstairs kept shorting out & there are loose (not working PowerPoint's in the main bedroom). So there are definitely some electrical issues going on! Lastly, there is a very musty smell in the house, but once ALL windows were opened to air it out, it did dissipate a little. I believe these issues should be addressed. Quite disappointed really. Shore-Thing definitely need to lift their game.

Wonderful time

We were 3 families with children ages ranging from 11months,-5 years. Our kids had an amazing time without resorting to technology. The river was at our fingertips - high tide we swam and paddle boarded and low tide we walked across to the beach and swam and played in the rock pools. Walking distance as well to the club and take away. The house had everything we needed..was clean and well stocked The Owners were helpful especially when we had a few requests around our youngest guest. Would recommend with or without kids. Amazing house

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Johnston

Host profile image
I grew up in Berry on the NSW South Coast and had many memorable family holidays at Currarong. We bought a house ourselves in Currarong in 2000 and so my children have also grown up having family holidays in Currarong. I now live in Sydney and our favourite holiday destination is Shore Thing

Why they chose this property

I'd holidayed in Currarong since I was a child and I wanted my children to have the same experience. We bought a small house across the road from this one in 2000 and we had some wonderful holidays there. This house came up for sale and we thought that it would be fantastic to be on the water and have a house with more space.
It needed a major renovation, we were able to keep the original look at the front of the house and extend the back to make the most of the incredible views.

What makes this property unique

As soon as I walked into this house I was captivated by the uninterrupted views out to the lagoon. When we renovated we maintained this vista, so when you open the front door, the view is there
