About this property

Old Spice Beach House - Great view, sleepy location, perfect for families

'Old Spice' is owned by two families who have holidayed in the area for over 20 years, purchasing the house together in late 2018. We’ve named the house to reflect the early 80s vibe of the house, which, as you will see, we have leaned into a little.

'Old Spice' is a four bedroom, two-bathroom freestanding house about 100 metres from the water. It was substantially renovated over 2019 and 2020 to add new front and rear decks, a new bathroom and extra bedroom.

Amenities:
- Four bedrooms – 3 x queen beds and 1 bunk room, with two double bunks and a day bed - suitable for 11 people across all four rooms, with the bunk room best suited to children. (There is also a trundle bed in the bunk room. When in use there is very little floor space.)
- Two bathrooms – one with toilet/bath/shower and one with toilet/shower only.
- All sheets, pillowcases and bath towels are provided for guests.
- Compact kitchen with electric stove/oven, microwave and dishwasher.
- Gorgeous Lounge area on front deck with a view of the ocean (best in the morning)
- Dining area on rear deck (best in the afternoon)
- Generous dining table for large gatherings
- Comfy leather couches in lounge room
- Outdoor shower
- Smart TVs upstairs and downstairs
- Sony PlayStation 4
- DVD players plus DVD collection for all ages and tastes
- Stereo via bluetooth connection
- Gas BBQ
- Weber charcoal kettle BBQ (byo charcoal)
- Washing machine
- Roomy and safe backyard with plenty of native flora and a little veggie and herb patch

About Currarong
The reason you are visiting Currarong is to be in a beautiful and relaxed coastal environment.

Currarong is a small coastal fishing and tourist village at the northern tip of the dramatic Beecroft Peninsula and adjacent to Jervis Bay. The village is a haven for holidaymakers keen on relaxing, swimming, fishing and walking.

Currarong is one of the few places in NSW where you can sit on a North West facing beach looking at mountains across the water, and watch the sun set over the ocean.

Rock shelves, caves, and middens tell us that the Beecroft Peninsula and Currarong have been inhabited by First Nations communities from 4000 (and perhaps up to 7000) years ago. The area is very important to the Jerrinja and Wreck Bay communities and is set on traditional Yuin country.

Beaches
Currarong is surrounded by 14 beautiful beaches, most notably Warrain Beach and the sheltered Abrahams Bosom beach. Currarong is also famous for its rock pool, and for the many protected beaches a few minutes’ drive away on the other side of the headland in Jervis Bay, including Long Beach, Cabbage Tree Beach and the horse-shoe shaped Honeymoon Bay.

Bush Walking
Currarong is famous for its bushwalks and there are great walks accessible on the Beecroft Headland (accessible via the little wooden bridge near Abrahams Bosom beach) and in the Jervis Bay National Park about 3 kms from the house (entry via the road into Currarong).

Fishing and diving
Currarong has world class fishing - rock, beach and ocean. In 2011 a new boat ramp was completed that allows for launching two boats at a time. The area is also renowned for its scuba diving and snorkelling.

Currarong is also close to the Beecroft Weapons Range. The range provides access to some spectacular sights, including Honeymoon Bay and the Point Perpendicular Lighthouse, among other sites.

Fabulous Beach House
This a perfect relaxed beach house in a great location. The fully fenced back yard (and nearby off lead dog beach) made looking after our dogs a breeze. The house was super clean and well equipped and we enjoyed the beach view from the balcony. We’ll be back!

Cosy and Comfy!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Old Spice. The house is cosy but spacious enough for two families and the kids stayed downstairs while the adults enjoyed the decks upstairs! Beautiful location and the little cafe/grocery store at the end of the street was perfect!

Great house at our "happy place" with friends and dogs
We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 nights at this house - we'd book again and recommend it to others. This is our 9th Currarong stay in 7 years with our 2 small dogs, it is our "happy place". We've variously stayed In small beach shacks for 2 through to bigger houses for 6-10. Each at different price points and degrees of "lux". Our friends agree this was possibly one of our best house picks. Why? - It is a chilled holiday beach house - it has everything you need, a well equiped (if compact and simple) kitchen, comfy beds, relaxed furniture , abundant mix matched wine glasses and plates that simply invite a relaxed good time. It is evident it's managed and used by the owners - you feel a friend lent you their house. Board games, books, dvds, some random helpful ingredients, coffee machine, a soda stream and two BBQ's. And it's one of the few properties (when we stayed) that included bed linen and towels - a massive plus. It is true to the photos in the listing (although there are more comfy view watching seats out the front than I first saw in photos) Our dogs loved the well fenced and well maintained garden (large rosemary bush for the lamb roast). We were here during a very wet week - but the front verandah was covered enough to still use the space and enjoy the view. And it didn't stop us enjoying the beach. We love the peace and serenity of Currarong and we do a supermarket order to bring in provisions and then we just relax - our dogs (and friends with small children) love the dog friendly beach & bush walks and swims.

This property is well equipped for an adventure filled holiday. It accommodates all ages with a great range of indoor and outdoor activities available. If you like to entertain or have a big extended family that likes to visit while you are away, there is plenty of incidentals to feed many. Our parents, children and grand children had a ball...we can't thank our host enough.

Perfect
So comfortable, felt right at home as soon as we'd unpacked. Everything has been thought of in the set up of this holiday home. We'll definitely be back. Car didn't leave the drive once we'd arrived because it's such a great spot to access walks, creek, beach and rockpool! Nice and secure yard for the dogs and both a morning sun deck and an afternoon/ sunset deck! Perfect! Thanks so much!
