About this property

Carraway Country Cottage

This is the dream getaway with 15 acres of gardens, paddocks and fruit trees bursting with fruit and nuts in season. You can explore the large property or just relax.

The rambling 100 year old farm house with its 12 foot high ceilings and additions has charm and a beautiful fire for those cold months. Four comfortable bedrooms and two large living areas and separate office, allows you to embrace the rural lifestyle without compromise.

With your own jetty and pontoon at the bottom of the property there is direct access to the Shoalhaven River for fishing, kayaking, boating or enjoying the many water birds (hand launch boats only). The kids will love the swings under the magnificent Fig tree. If you head down the road and across the car pontoon you will often find yourself alone on the idyllic Comerong Island beach. Great for fishing and long walks.

The old dairy has been transformed into a quaint games room and bar with a pot belly fire, a BBQ area and fairy lights that make it magical.

Come and enjoy an action packed stay or just relax under the trees while watching the cattle in the paddock when they are there. Have your own little farm for just a while.

Please Note: There are NO Party's permitted to be held at the property.

The house sleeps 11, however please read the Bedding Configuration below for all details.

Bedding Configuration

There are 2 two Queen Bed Rooms, A Bunk Room with 2 bunks (4 beds) and a Front Room with 1 bunk and a King Single bed (3 beds).

Ideally two large families would be very comfortable or three small families could fit in (providing some adults are happy to sleep on a single bed or a bunk).

One Queen Room has French doors that open up onto the Front Room - curtains are provided for privacy.

Bathroom Facilities

Two Showers, One Bath and Three toilets.

There is one main bathroom in the centre of the house, with a large shower and separate cast iron bath. The main toilet is next to this.

There is a second shower in a nook of the Front Room, there is also a second toilet off this room.

There is a third toilet out in the Dairy/Games Room.

Explains the high ratings!!!
Loved our stay at this cute cottage with its beautiful garden and surrounds. Fully equipped kitchen, nice bbq, barn was charming and unique, beds were so comfortable, so too were the bathrooms. We enjoyed games by the fireplace. Many places to sit outside to soak in the serenity. We had fish and chips and oysters from Greenwell point and had a surf at Culbura beach, visited cute Jindyandy Mill markets. More to do and see than expected. Great stay.

Should have stayed longer
Lovely country property. Amazing location. Enjoyed sitting on the verandah and day dreaming whilst having a coffee. The wharf enticed a family member to go to BCF and buy fishing gear. He had a great time fishing from the wharf. Would love to bring the entire family back and stay for a week. Thank you :)

Amazing getaway
An amazing property steeped in history! Situated far enough from Nowra to be tranquil and relaxing but still close enough to duck in for groceries (10 min drive). Also a short 15mins to Culburra beach. The place has everything you need, comfiest beds, lots of sitting space, an amazing barn with pool table, bbq and the biggest tree to laze under with a book and glass of wine. Fishing from your own jetty space is great fun too! Great hosts supplied everything we needed and there's even a coffee machine plus grinder (not pods). We loved every minute at Carraway and can't wait to return.

Beautiful and convenient
A beautiful property. We felt we were in the middle of the country but only 10 mins from the convenience of Nowra, 15 mins from Jervis Bay and Culburra (surf beach) and 2 hours from Sydney. Surrounded by dairy farms, the property grounds are immaculate, very well maintained. The house itself was spacious with everything you could ask for (including actual sharp knives in the kitchen!). It was clean and everything was in good condition. We had 7 kids under 8 with us and there was room for them all to roam both inside and outside. Definitely recommend.

Family getaway
What an amazing property! Stunning location and immaculately kept grounds. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay with family. Plenty of fish to be caught off the jetty and a nice easy kayak up and down the river. The dairy shed was perfect for the evening once the kids had gone to bed. Couldn't fault a thing.

Relaxing getaway, great location
We had a fabulous, relaxing time at Carraway Cottage, it was so tranquil with beautiful grounds & garden. A very comfortable house & the kitchen is well equipped but once you see how inviting the old dairy is, you'll want to use the BBQ as much as possible. With the games room & bar area, the river vista and that beautiful fig tree. We were there with our 'kidults', so put the pool table to good use as well as the direct access to the river for our kayaks; but all agreed that as younger kids they would have enjoyed the play equipment & spacious lawns. It was an easy drive to Culburra & Callalla Beaches and Shoalhaven is just a truly beautiful area to explore.

Gorgeous stay by the river
Carraway Cottage was a marvellous place for a family summer stay - we swam in the river, picnicked and played hide’n seek in the garden and befriended the neighbouring cows and calves. The house was beautifully cool and spacious and we enjoyed looking out on the river from the dining table and playing lots of board games . It is only a short drive to surrounding beaches- Callala Bay was gorgeous- and the famous Lolly Shop. All in all a wonderful time in a lovely farmhouse!

Lovely As Always
Great stay with family and friends. Such a shame that we had torrential rain, and were flooded out of the dairy shed, and the fishing was off limits, but still lots of laughs in a beautiful setting.

Great property
We were on the South Coast for a wedding - slept our 3 families of 9 people very comfortably. The house was very well equipped and we loved the dairy. The weather was a little unkind, We would love to return one day for a few days stay.
