A wonderland for kids!

The house is situated in a quiet lane with no through traffic and is only a 2 minute walk to the beach, Tathra wharf and Tathra hotel. The view from the house is stunning, overlooking the beautiful, safe Tathra Beach and yet is very protected from coastal winds.

The property is single story at the front and double at the rear. Under the deck at the rear is a private space with laundry room and a second retro bathroom with toilet and shower.

We loved the property. Just right for a family of four and just a short walk to the beach and wharf. Tathra is very relaxing and the house had a fantastic view of the ocean and surrounds. Highly recommended and Chris was very helpful and knew all the spots to visit.

Magical stay in a house with spectacular views
We loved staying in this magical house with spectacular views of Tathra beach. It was a short stroll down to the beach for an early morning swim and then coffee every morning. Amazing location. Walking distance to the historic Tathra Pub. Oysters on the cliff opposite the house on our favourite bench. We loved staying at Cliff top house and will be planning our next holiday there soon.

Perfect, relaxed home away from home
We loved staying at your beautiful house. For our family of four it was perfect; from the comfortable beds, very well equiped kitchen, great little retro touches, thoughtful inclusions such as sunscreen and radox in the bathroom, to the beautifully maintained, large garden to wander round in and magnificent views from the balcony (the great view from the kitchen even makes washing up a pleasure!) all the comforts of home are there. Being pet friendly at Clifftop was a big bonus for us as the 4-legged member of our family loved going leash-free on the northern parts of Tathra beach. Our teenaged son loved exploring the many nearby mountain bike trails while we relaxed on the deck with several good books! Our final nights dinner at Fat Tonys was the icing on the cake of a lovely week. Thank you Chris and Bruce.

Fabulous stay
Great property for a family getaway. It had all the ingredients for a fabulous beach holiday, we even got lucky with the weather. Lots of natural light and nice outlook with sea views and mod cons, including r/c aircon, dishwasher, good wifi, streaming tv and Weber Q topped it off. Can’t wait to return.

Comfortable well equipped house in an amazing location. Incredible views and an easy walk to the beach. The local shops just a short stroll away, as was the Tathra Hotel and Fat Tony’s. The local oysters (Tathra Oysters) were delicious, several trips required. We will certainly be back!

We had a perfect stay in this fabulous 50s style house with the most amazing view and the best location in town. The house is spotlessly clean and well equipped. The owner quickly responded to texts and emails, was friendly and went out of her way to make us feel at home. We will definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Hamilton

Host profile image
Clifftop was built by my parents in 1961. The house is a specially designed Retro home with high timber ceilings and large windows. I grew up in this house and it has a special place in my heart. I inherited the responsibility to look after 'Clifftop' in 2008 and I do my best to manage it with loving care so that others can enjoy its charms. I am a horticulturist and have restored the sub tropical gully and garden, which is on going. We have lots of wildlife which is a blessing and a burden when it comes to gardens but they do add a great attraction to the property for visitors.
Tathra is a special town in a unique location with very friendly people .
I live just out of town on another unique property with horses and wildlife. I have the best of both worlds!

Why they chose this property

'Clifftop' was my childhood home and my family will keep it into the future. It will always be special to our family

What makes this property unique

Clifftop is a unique Retro Home of double brick, high timber ceilings and spectacular views. Every one who visits Clifftop would love to return and most do. The house has a good vibe with easy living and easy care. It is situated very centrally yet quiet , with no through traffic and very friendly next door neighbours. It is only a short stroll to all amenities.
