About this property

A lovely cosy cottage with a delightful double deck to enjoy the views

Come to the Cottage for a wonderful weekend or more getaway.
Unfortunately we will not accept bookings from “schoolies”.
Our Cottage has a beautiful aspect looking out to the Pacific with nothing except a great nature reserve between the house and the water. The Cottage sits above a great rocky cove for the skin divers, walkers and explorers.

We welcome all well behaved dogs.

The Cottage has two bedrooms, large ktichen, lounge and dining, bathroom and laundry. All our furnishings are modern and clean. Our crockery is "Maxwells" and all the wine and champagne glasses are new and clean. There are games to use, videos to watch or just gaze out the windows at the birds, the ocean or the bush. It has a great aspect looking straight out to the Pacific with nothing but a reserve between you and the ocean. The yard is secure. It can accommodate four adults - the master bedroom has a queen size bed, the second bedroom has a double bed and a set of bunks Family of six would be very well accommodated.

There is a delightful large double deck looking out to the reserve and ocean capturing lovely views through the trees to the ocean which is relaxing all year round with a great rocky cove at the bottom of the reserve for explorers. There are great fishing spots and walks.

The Cottage is walking distance (less than 10 minutes) to either Garden Bay (north) or Malua Bay beach and great shops and restaurants (south).

The house is available for weekly rental and weekend getaways.

The beds come with Doonas and doona covers, pillow and pillow cases that match doonas and mattress protector. You should bring your own sheets, pillow cases and towels, bath mats and beach towels.

However to save that hassle you can hire a linen package from Blissful Linen Service at a very reasonable price. Go to the web site https://blissfulbedding.com.au to view their packages. www.blissfulbedding.com.au

For weekly rentals Saturday to Saturday is preferred and is negotiable during off season.

For weekend rentals arrival time is from 2pm Friday and departure is 11am Sunday. Times are negotiable depending on bookings.

We have wifi and a smart tv supporting Netflix and other pay TV accounts that you can access.

Malua Bay is two hours drive from Canberra - approximately 15 minutes south of Batemans Bay. From Sydney is it is approximately four hours south.

Things to see and do from The Cottage -

Easy walking distance (5 mins) from the Cottage leads you to the lovely Malua Bay Village which has everything you need - grocery shop, liquor shop, butcher shop, chemist, newsagency, restaurant and the best fish and chips shop. Malua Bay Beach is patrolled during the summer and offers great surfing and amenities. Full toilet/shower blocks; beaut park for all ages is located on the grass area of the beach. Regular monthly markets are not to be missed. To the north of the Cottage is Garden Bay Beach (5 mins walk) which is great for families, scuba diving, kayaking and snorkelling. Mckenzies Beach is a quick car trip (5mins) south which is also great fun and great surfing. Heading north will take you to Batehaven. A great spot for kayaking hire and surfing. Great shopping here too. Heading south from Malua leads through lovely villages such as Mossy Point, Broulee - great for surfing and swimming, Mogo - famous for its zoo and excellent street shopping. Further on is Moruya which has great markets every Saturday. Lots of old world charm and wonderful rivers to be explored.a

Beautiful getaway
Beautiful property in an amazing location, close to the beach with walking tracks at the back gate, a stunning outlook and the sound of the waves from the back deck. Our doggie loved the backyard which had ample room for him to run and play. Kate was a wonderful host with excellent communication, allowing us an early check in/late check out so we could maximise our time away. We will definitely stay here again!

Great getaway location
A perfect spot on the headland and close to the beach and shops. The house is setup well with a great outdoor area where we spent most of our time. With views through the bushland to the ocean it created a serene atmosphere where we could relax and escape for a while.

We had a great stay. Property has everything you could need. We were very comfortable. The deck is fantastic with ocean views through the trees, and the outdoor lounge is super comfortable. We had regular breakfasts and dinners on the deck, using the little bbq. We would definately book again!

Comfortable, relaxing, great location
The view of the neat green garden, big gum trees and ocean is so relaxing. We don't want to leave! Great for dogs with the fully fenced front and back areas, and beautiful wide clearing out the back to walk along the back of all the houses. We only discovered trails down to the pebbly bay on our last morning and had fun looking for colourful shells. House is very well appointed with kitchen stuff, coffee pods, washing machine, fast wifi, etc. You could stay here for longer periods and be very comfortable. Bed was firm but comfortable too. Only minor niggles were lack of remote for the DVD player so we couldn't turn off subtitles, and the fine spray shower head was a bit meh. We'll definitely consider coming back! Thanks, Kate. Great place.

Lovely location and very pet friendly
We really enjoyed our long weekend at this cute cottage. Great view, amazing deck and very close to dog friendly beaches. Great place to stay with a dog with a fully fenced yard and large lawn area. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and spices and the owner was very friendly to deal with. We hope to be back!

Great property with an amazing deck.
The property owner was a pleasure to speak with and helped with questions or queries. Highly recommend the getaway that's looking for to sleeping to the sound of ocean waves. The property was very clean and had a very generous pantry full of seasoning and spices. Thank you for the hospitality, and we will be seeing you soon again!!!

Fantastic Garden, Close to Beach
Quaint and tranquil - it is a gorgeous little property that is perfect for those looking for an escape. The amenities were nice and the large deck was perfect for hosting barbecues. It is also in close proximity to a very private beach and is located in a quiet but attractive area. Overall, it was a brilliant stay.

Trees and sea
2 Adults and 1 dog had a lovely time here at Malua Bay. Great location, house, amazing deck, views of bush and sea beyond. Great cliff path at bottom of garden. Could spend all day on that deck gazing and relaxing. Remember to bring your own sheets, towels, shampoo and conditioner as I did not (quick trip into the Bay solved this) Would we return, absolutely!

Fantastic dog friendly cottage
The outlook to the ocean from the cottage is fantastic through the rear glass wall, the yard, and the decks. Easy walking distance (although steep in places) to Malula Bay shops and beaches, to Lilli Pilli bay and cafe, and a relaxing drive to explore anywhere on the south coast. A lovely, clean, well equiped and relaxing place to unwind, lovely neighbours and it was great to be able to take my dog.

Lovely comfortable cottage and peaceful views
This is a lovely cottage with everything you need in a very nice location. My two dogs loved the huge backyard and the rocky cove just outside the back gate and the fences were good. Guests should be aware that there are other resident dogs on both sides, with just wire fences. They enjoy a bit of a bark and play so some management may be required for some dogs.
