Beach escape
Raglan Cottage was just what we need for our beach escape. The sunsets over the bay were spectacular to watch while enjoying a nice drink after a stroll along the beach with our woofie. The beach is only an 5 minute walk away and shops a casual 20 minute stroll. Christine ensured that we needed for nothing while we were there. Kitchen has everything you need, has an amazing oven!! And the three bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. It was so nice and quiet; great place to hide from the city.

Rustic and Quiet
Raglan cottage was a lovely old house that was well appointed and served our family (3 teenage boys) well. The location was a drive away to Culburra shops and great coffee with beach, fishing spots and skate park close by. A good escape from the rat race indeed. The house however, was in need of a good clean and was internally very dusty and floors/walls not clean. Feedback on this was taken really well, and I thank Christine for her warm welcome and help when we were loooking for it for car trouble.

Tranquil family holiday
We had a great time - the house is neat and tidy and has everything we needed. We enjoyed the location - looking over the water and being able to walk to the beach. We were pleased to be able to take our dog and had fun playing board games that were provided. We hope to return.

Simple & lovely
Our stay at Raglan Cottage was simply lovely. It’s a perfect little retreat for families. Highlights were waking up to a view of pelicans on the lake from the main bedroom and the kids found the bus in the yard a source of endless entertainment. The fully screened back deck meant we could have meals outside without the threat of mozzies and the short walk to the doggie friendly Culburra beach was a win. The cottage is simple but has everything you need.

Great little cottage
We had a lovely stay at Raglan Cottage. It’s simple but comfortable with an excellent renovated kitchen. We brought our small dog, and it was perfectly set up for her as well. The dog-off-leash beach down the road was perfect. Culburra Beach is a hidden gem of a location. Quiet, low key but with great amenities. Some of the local cafes were top notch. There were three patrolled beaches within an 8 minute drive plus a wonderful lighthouse walk. The cottage itself has lovely gardens, a large lawn and is very quiet. It was really relaxing, comfortable and practical. The vibe was exactly what we wanted in a summer beach holiday.

Beautiful spot, great house, very private
We had a great time at Culburra beach. Raglan Cottage was a lovely property in a nice spot. The house is great, very private, plenty of space for our family of four, loved sitting out on the back deck as well. It was great to be able to bring our dog, the beaches near by are all dog friendly and ours had the best time. Highly recommend this holiday house,

Our Stay
From the initial contact with the owner, the whole booking process was friendly and seamless. The owner was so accommodating and her communication with me was sufficient without being either suffocating or lacking. Arriving at the house I was so impressed with its cleanliness and location, how abundantly stocked the house was with essential items and the overall aura of the home. I came from western Victoria to relax with family and friends and this home provided the perfect base for that to occur. Taking the dogs to the dog friendly beach each morning and afternoon for a swim was definitely the highlight of our stay. Returning to the house after our swim and kicking back on the verandah with some amazing local oysters and beers was the perfect end to each day. I cannot thank the owner enough for allowing us to share their little piece of paradise. We will definitely be returning.

Awesome place loved it
Recently stayed and had a great time. The area is fantastic and the actual house is just perfect. Everything that you could possible need is available, the house has all the mod cons. Very spacious great for kids, fell in love with it instantly. We had our pugs with us and they loved it at no point was I concerned for them dog owners would know when you go away with your four legged friends you normally spend a great deal of time fussing over them,here they happily sat on the porch and explored the back yard there are no cars zipping around or other people you need to be concerned about. we had a short walk to the beach every day the place was peaceful and quiet. Mozzies are bad at night however if you keep the screens shut and light a coil out back once it gets dark there no problem, part of huge abundance of wildlife in the area. Awesome location, fantastic property and super nice people to deal with. As long as this place is available we will be visiting. Thanks again for everything.

Why they chose this property

It's Curley's Bay waterfront and walking distance to the beach. A classic character beach house that doesn't feel suburban, within a comfortable driving distance from Canberra and Sydney. We were impressed by the superb large screened deck looking over Curley's Bay. We love being on the river and also close to the beach.

What makes this property unique

This property is private and secluded and very relaxing. Several guests have described their stay as therapeutic and rejuvenating.
