About this property

Forty Paces - beautiful beach house

Designer beach house, beautiful views, north facing, located on the best part of Culburra Beach with safe swimming, pet friendly, huge deck and garden...

Forty Paces offers the perfect place to unwind in luxurious yet welcoming comfort. It has beeen lovingly renovated, impeccably styled and thoughtfully appointed, all with the guest in mind. It's the little things like the fireplace, the hot outdoor shower and the Nespresso coffee machine that make this house feel like a home. From the moment you walk in the door, the stunning water view, the salty air and the sound of the crashing waves, lets you know you're on holiday.

Ideally positioned, facing north, it is a short stroll from the back gate to the patrolled flagged area or to the more sheltered Tilbury Cove. Culburra Beach is pet friendly, so the 4.5km of sandy shore is doggy paradise. You may just be lucky enough to spot a whale or even swim with the dolphins that are often seen close to shore.

With two bedrooms, two living areas and two bathrooms the house works perfectly for a family or friends. Having a separate space for the kids works brilliantly and is a rarity in a holiday house. Cleverly designed, Forty Paces is an extremely adaptable space that also suits those looking for a more intimate and romantic getaway.

The large level fenced backyard is equally as exciting for the four legged family member as it is for the kids. The gardens have been designed with the prettiest of native plants that entice the incredible birdlife in the area, the Black Cockatoo a firm favourite. With front and rear decks, the house provides options for outdoor living depending on the weather.

Once you've stayed at Forty Paces you'll want to come back, again and again and again.

A beautiful beachside retreat
I stayed in this gorgeous house for a wet chilly week with my sister, my 82 year old neighbour and my dog. We could not have been happier with the comfort, warmth and attention to detail that the house offered. Bron is an incredible host, checking in by text without intruding. I have enjoyed many family holidays in Culburra in the past but this is truly the most spectacular property I have visited. A short walk to the beautiful beach, brilliant views from the deck and living areas, an incredibly well equipped kitchen and super comfortable beds. I hope to bring my family back soon!

You can never tire of that view!
Desperate to escape a gloomy Adelaide winter and a hectic work calendar I bundled my Border Collie, Gracie into the car and headed to Forty Paces collecting my mother from rural NSW along the way. Forty Paces was exactly the mid winter haven I desired. A beautiful property extremely well maintained and everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay at your finger tips. Bronwyn, the host was lovely to deal with right from the beginning of our booking. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She showed genuine care that our long journey was safe. Gracie loved her daily walks on the pristine beach a mere stones throw from the back deck. A wonderful home to wile away the hours buried in a book or simply watching the water.

The perfect beach house
We honestly could not fault Forty Paces for the quintessential beach house holiday. The location and view are incredible, with the beach just a short stroll from the back gate. The big back yard was a huge win for both kids and dog, and the icing on the cake was whale watching from the deck. Everything has been thought of, and the house is well equipped and spotless. Bron was so lovely and amazing with all communication. We would love to stay here again in a heartbeat, what a special place.

Idyllic getaway a few hours from Sydney
The first thing you notice as you walk through Forty Paces is the perfect gap in the trees for an ocean view beyond. A spacious living area with comfy sofas and large dining table open to a deck where we spent loads of time listening to the waves and staring at the water. Being there 5 days in a nonpeak period incl a weekend, no one was around us so very quiet. The yard was great for our dogs to have a run and explore and they loved running along the sand off-leash. The water is hot, bed firm and kitchen well equipped. Actually there are so many thoughtful extras - beach umbrella, coffee machine with loads of pods, baby furniture, books, magazines, games, binoculars to name a few.

Forty Paces Stay
Beautifully decorated home with everything we needed. When it was wet for few days, we had plenty to do, as many games and books are available. Lovely log fireplace. Great access to beach and plenty of room for our dog to run around.

Wonderful stay
Spent a lovely and idyllic 4 nights at this property and left super relaxed. The property is very well fitted out lots of areas to kick back and read a good book loved the back deck hearing and seeing the ocean. My six month old German Shepard had a ball and came back very tired from all the beach plays. The beach access is so close walk out back gate and either direction beach stairs a minute away. Up the road less than five minutes walk coffee and takeaway shop as well. Bronwyn the owner was fantastic and contactable will definitely look forward to coming for another stay

Great Stay
Great stay - the house is warm, inviting and cosy. Doesn't feel cold or uninviting like other holiday homes which is so nice. Really well furnished and when we arrived everything was perfect. The house is so well stocked with books, games, fire wood, the kitchen is well stocked and they even have dog bowls for your pet! The only downside for us that would impact returning agin - the sofa is incredibly uncomfortable. I did mention this and i was told its a feather sofa that requires to be reset but its more than that - it has no support and is lumpy and considering the rest of the house is great it really lets it down. We found the bed very hard (but it may suit others). The garden was great our dog loved it. Apart from those two things i would have rated it 5 stars!

Forty Places proved to be the ideal property for our 'home away from home'.
From the moment we arrived we felt very comfortable at Forty Paces. My wife, myself and our two dogs (Cavalier, and Cavodle) loved the place. Ideally situated, comfortably furnished, well fenced with all of the standard things that you need in a kitchen and bathrooms. It was great not to have to go to the shops and buy, next time we won't need to pack much of the stuff that we usually do when staying away. Bronwyn has been more than helpful in meeting our particular needs and is very easy to do business with. We highly recommend Forty Paces to those looking for a comfortable stay, peace and quiet and a great beach.
