About this property

Maldas Retreat Pet Friendly Absolute Beachfront with Spa

2024 Award Winner - Highest Performing - 3 Bedroom.

2022 Award Winner - Best Pet Friendly Property.

Wake up slowly with a cuppa on the couch, and when the urge to jump in the water strikes, you can walk right down the back steps of the house to the golden sands of beautiful Culburra Beach. There you can swim or just float under perfect blue skies whilst your four-legged friend runs for kilometres on the dog-friendly beach and the kids splash in the waves.

When you come back inside, your only difficulty will be deciding how to relax; Malda’s isn’t short on areas to recline: with a large backyard and shaded outdoor dining table for enjoying the sunshine; a comfortable living room just inside the sliding doors where you can enjoy the light coming in through floor-to-ceiling windows in all directions; and a sitting room with beautiful wicker couches around the combustion fire for colder days.

If some tunes outside are more your style there's a rechargeable Bluetooth speaker that you can take out to the spa for an afternoon soak with your partner and a few cold drinks. When mealtimes come around, cook up a storm on the BBQ to dine on the outdoor dining table, and enjoy the beautiful sun in the fully-fenced backyard and garden that extends out past the spa with deck chairs to read or sunbake on a yard big enough for a game of footy.

Once you’re fed and rested, it’s time to see the sights; the shining sands and sparkling waves continue for kilometres around Jervis Bay, so go on leisurely walks along the shore and breathe in the fresh sea air for as long as you like. Malda’s Retreat is the perfect home base for all of your Shoalhaven adventures, an opportunity to rejuvenate, and a coastal holiday you won’t soon forget.

A beautiful beach stay for your furry friends
Our stay at Malda's Retreat was great. I loved that the backyard was gorgeous and also totally fenced and safe for my dog. The nearby dog beach was wonderful. The house was beautiful and comfortable and the hot tub was to die for!

Summer Last Minute Get Away
Perfect beach location, direct access to dog friendly beach in which our Labrador loved. The house in general is great, nice light and private-comfortable living areas,beds and clean linen. Attention to detail lacking in aspects of home, kitchen wares and crockery definately in need of upgrade..TVs in need of repair,Netflix not working.Spa and surrounds lovely although BBQ gas bottle empty on arrival which was frustrating .All in all we had a lovely stay and loved Culburra ,room for improvements though

Lovely Culburra Pet-friendly Property
Overall a great propery with the added bonus of outdoor spa. House very comportable and spacious. Would suggest fencing needs to be checked as small dog got out several times after finding a few spots that had loose or broken wire fencing.

A wonderful family getaway
We loved Maldas Retreat. It was the first time we took our fur babies away. They were excellent and loved it too, I can tell. We enjoyed the open rooms and windows. Spa bath was great. Hot tub was great. Room for all of us to chill and do our own thing. We played card games at the big dining table. Perfect. Great kitchen and comfy beds. Thankyou

Big fail on so many details
When we arrived, the kitchen was full of cockroaches but there was no insect spray. The guide says we can go and buy our own and be reimbursed. That might work if you're staying at a YMCA, but not at a property charging what Malda's is. There's a complete lack of attention to detail. The back door lock is broken so you can't lock the house when you go to the beach. In each bedroom, one of the lamps was broken. The remote to the TV was held together by silver electrical tape. The windows were dirty, the spa bath hadn't been cleaned out. In the bathroom, the soap, shampoo and conditioner were all empty. Culburra Beach is a great place for a holiday, Malda's is not. If you're holidaying in Culburra, I'd look elsewhere - there are plenty of better quality, better priced properties that do look after their guests and do have the requisite attention to detail

We work in a people business and very infrequently things go wrong - if this happens we will do our best to rectify the situation immediately.
