Amazing location for a relaxing weekend.
The standout for the property is the location, deck, views and garden. The house was very well equipped and well stocked to cater for a large group and easily accommodates family groups in this deceptively large cottage. The cottage was perfect for a gathering by the beach enjoying the oudoor facilities. Walking access to the dog friendly beach and Copacabana and Macmasters patrolled beaches and shops.a plus.

Exactly what we needed :)
What a spectacular spot! The VIEW! The Deck! Plenty of space to unwind and chat! Beds were comfy and we were left wanting for nothing! As the property is on the older side, it really needed a good airing out when we first arrived.

Anzac Day weekend at the beach
What an amazing location ! This well appointed and well maintained classic beach house has immediate access to McMasters beach and lagoon. There are multiple areas in the back yard to sit and enjoy the view over the beach & waves, it’s like everyone could have their own little quiet seat to read and breath in the sea air. There’s a great deck with two tables, one for the adults and one for the kids, we had a BBQ breakfast every morning as the birds came to visit. We will definitely be bookings again, as Charmaine and her partner were easy to deal with and provide a great beachside holiday location.

Awesome location with breathtaking views
A charming Macs Beach house offering direct beach access via a shared pathway. While the house features older-style furnishings, it is meticulously clean and has ample outdoor dining areas. Take in breathtaking views from the main deck or one of the cozy garden seating spots, perfect for enjoying a sunrise coffee or sunset cocktail. This idyllic setting is ideal for a family beach getaway, conveniently located near cafes and restaurants in Copa, accessible via a leisurely stroll along the beach. Our dogs loved it too!

Beautiful view
The very best block at Macs. Amazing access to the beach. Easy walk to flags at Macs or Copa. Just a short stroll along the beach for morning coffee. We loved it. The house is very simple with comfy beds. Don’t expect luxury but the house has everything you need for a beach holiday. The deck and beach side garden are definitely the highlight.

Great location and very comfortable accommodations.
We enjoyed our time at Yallambee Cottage. Fantastic location and direct access to MacMasters Beach. Good, clear communication with property owner, who accommodated our requirements. House itself was old, but spacious and comfortable for our group of 4 adults, 6 kids and dog. Extensive amenities which made living and using the property and space very easy and enjoyable. Pretty sure we’ll be back for another visit in the future.

Comfy family cottage
The Host Charmaine was extremely helpful. Magnificent views and pretty garden. From the large deck I was able to watch the grandkids play on the beach. Kitchen well equiped -cottage old and a bit dated but large bedrooms (comfortable beds) with good linen and homely decor. Despite the incessant rain we had the wood fire blaring - (wood was supplied) and had special family time enjoying the grandchildren.

Although Yallambee Cottage is is an older house every other aspect outweighs it! The location and view is unbeatable. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. There are plenty of beds, lounges inside and out! We love it! This is our second stay here and we look forward to more.

Superb
This is an amazing property in a perfect location with direct beach access, and perfect for family and friends. Great views from inside the house and amazing views from the large deck and garden area where there are plenty of places set up to take in the vista. This house is very well equipped with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday - lots of plates, cutlery, serving platters etc as well as wifi, smart TV and Foxtel. Three of the bedrooms are separated by a door from the living area which is a bonus with kids, or in my case teens, who loved their privacy while I enjoyed my room with a view out to the ocean! Loved this pet friendly house, especially as this stretch of beach is off leash with a lagoon right nearby. Easy walk to Copacabana or to the Barefoot Cafe at Macmasters. Would book again in a heartbeat! Thanks Charmaine and Steve for your hospitality and hope to be back when we can find an opening!
