Captains Cottage

The Captain's Cottage is both a modern and traditional beach cottage which is set up for families to enjoy the ultimate beach holiday.
The cottage is located immediately adjoining a safe sandy beach. Just a short stroll of 20 metres across the back lawn to be on the beach and a further 30 metres across the sand to get your toes wet.
The cottage is located at Long Beach which is a small relatively unspoilt hamlet 5 km north of the regional centre of Batemans Bay and 3 minutes in from the Princess Highway.

Whether you want to relax in the outdoor heated spa, swim, paddle in the water, go fishing, explore the rock pools at each end of the 1km long beach,build sandcastles or just laze around in an idyllic setting and "feel the serenity", this is the place to be for that great holiday or short break in both summer and winter.
The cottage is set up for up to accomodate 10 people (with a maximum of 8 adults).
There are 4 bedrooms
The cottage has two bathrooms. One of these incorporates a large deep bath and a separate shower whilst the other is an ensuite and is modelled on two beach huts (see photos). There is also an outside shower.

One pet is allowed. Details of the areas of Long Beach beach where dogs can be walked are provided in the Cottage.

The cottage has two separate living areas, each with their own TV and VCR/DVD player, three open deck areas with one having a heated 6 person spa, a screened sunroom, and a screened covered deck area. The open backyard fronting the beach is all grass and ideal for that game of cricket or badminton. The cottage even incorporates a fully equipped replica ship's bridge from a 1930's cargo ship.

We provide boogie boards, buckets and spades, cricket set, badminton set, a DVD/Video library (many with a nautical theme), hammock, puzzles, games, magazines, books, outdoor sun lounges, traditional canvas deckchairs and even a picnic basket to take onto the beach.

We can also supply bed linen and bath towels if required.

If you have a trailer boat this can be easily parked in front of the cottage. Limited boat launching facilities are provided at one end of Long Beach and numerous boat ramps are provided around Batemans Bay.

The Captains Cottage is a magic place and unique on the south coast for the very best holiday experience.
