LATEST NEWS
(June 2009)
We have purchased two new teak tables that we have put into the conservatory as this area seems to be the place where guests tend to relax and chill out. The great thing about these tables is that they are identical and extendable - to a total of nearly 6 metres. We decided to also get some lovely teak chairs with cushions so the area can now seat 20 people comfortably - great for big family get togethers or weddings. There are further plans underway for the conservatory so watch this space.

We\'ve had recent guest feedback that Cockle Bay House is great for playing murder mysteries so think about that when you visit with friends and family.

(May 2009)
With chillier nights now upon us we have placed a wood box near to the front door and guests are thoroughly enjoying the large wood fire in the lounge in the evenings. The solar heated pool is still getting used and we have recently acquired a couple of additional sunloungers for use during the day. Some moran furniture has also been acquired (including a moran sofabed/couch) as well as other furniture that has been placed in the guest house. Cockle Bay House can now accommodate 18 people (assuming two people sharing beds of double size or larger).

(March 2009) -
1. For tennis lovers, or for people keen to have a hit against a machine, the tennis ball machine that has all the bells and whistles is now available for hire at a very reasonable hourly rate. It comes with remote control and a bucket full of balls - one player will be very tired after one hours usage!
2. The music system in the lounge has been updated and you are welcome to bring your own I-Pod and/or CDs.
3. One of the queen beds has been replaced with a new Sealy pillowtop mattress. It is very comfortable and we believe the only thing that will wake you is the birds!
4. The property now has the capacity to sleep 16 people.

(February 2009) - The availability of top quality kayaks has proved to be a hit and so for tennis lovers, a tennis ball machine will be available for optional use by mid February. One of the king bedrooms has been newly carpeted. The sleeping capacity of the guest house will shortly be increased by one to 16. A new pillow top queen bed will be in place by mid February. The kayaks are available at very reasonable rates.

(January 2009)
Cockle Bay House is now under new ownership and management. We will be introducing many new improvements and options available to guests. High on the \'to do\' list is to make available high quality kayaks so guests may enjoy the beautiful Brisbane Waters.

Local Attractions

On the property enjoy bushwalks, swimming or tennis. Nearby is horse riding, golf, sailing and kyaking. Local attractions are the 8 different beaches within 10 minutes drive, the Ettalong Weekend Markets, The Fragrant Garden, and a choice of more than 40 restaurants.

Terrigal is a short 8 minute drive away with a cosmopolitan range of beachside cafes and fine dining restaurants.

Three local restaurants offer a pick-up and drop home service so that you can enjoy a drink or two with your meal.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "It was a fantastic weekend, with so much to do and you didn't have to leave the property. e.g. Tennis courts BBQ area, pool, or just relaxing in the enclosed sun deck."

  • "We had a wonderful time at Cockle Bay House. It was a perfect size with large bedrooms and facilities in each room. The pool, tennis court and sunroom added a feeling of luxury that we thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely stay again. "

  • "We let out two houses as 23 of us went. The people in Cockle Bay House had a fabulous time and was pleased to be there. The others in Bay vista were not so pleased. But for the money and the facilities we had a great time. Where could you accomodate 23 people so easily with the large rooms and the pleasant atmosphere. We stayed for 3 days and never left the house or its surrounds, nor did we want to, which I think says it all."

  • "Our group of families enjoyed our stay at the Cockle Bay House. We have our annual Christmas reunion for the past 14 years now and we think this has been one of the best so far. Our kids and teenagers had lots to dio with the tennis court, swimming pool and nearby beaches to enjoy."

  • "Had a wonderful weekend. The house was absolutely gorgeous. Everything there. Pool was too cold to swim even though it was solar heated, that could be fixed, but other than that, great place to stay, very peaceful and relaxing."

  • "We stayed for a weekend with our children and grandchildren and they all had a great time. The house is a good size and individual bathrooms made life easy for that many. (Ten adults and seven children) We didn't need to leave the house for entertainment with the swimming pool and tennis court right there. Great time. "
