About this property

Banksia Cottage - Pet Friendly Waterfront

*New Listing - October 2025*

We are an experienced property manager with over two hundred carefully selected properties and thousands of reviews. Book with us with confidence!

Escape to the water’s edge — a lovingly kept, pet-friendly cottage with sun-drenched deck and direct waterfront access through the leafy reserve in the backyard. From the deck you can drink in lovely bay views and the gentle soundtrack of the water — perfect for slow mornings with coffee or sunset evenings by the fire.

Inside, warm, comfortable living zones invite relaxed stays: the lounge centres on a cosy fireplace and opens to bright, view-facing living and dining areas. The fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, gas cooktop and coffee machine) overlooks the bay — handy for family meals or casual BBQs on the deck.

The layout is flexible for families: there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (a separate studio provides a fourth bedroom with its own bathroom and laundry, ideal as a private parents’ retreat or extra guest space). The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 9 guests and has an enclosed yard so pets can enjoy the outdoors too.

Practical extras you’ll appreciate: off-street parking, roomy deck with BBQ, smart TV and WiFi (note: internet in regional areas can be patchy), and a warm outdoor ambiance courtesy of the fireplace — an especially nice touch during cooler months. This is a family-friendly, non-party waterfront cottage that invites easy, relaxed stays.

Linen is not provided. This property is Bring your own Linen.

About the host

Hosted by Professional Holiday Homes

Host profile image
Our name is Professional Holiday Homes and we aim to live up to the word “Professional” in everything we do. The formula for our properties is based on the award winning holiday homes created by our CEO.

Our approach to property management is that we want you to feel that the property is your own for a few days. As such we limit our communications to a few important emails, but otherwise we will leave you alone! If you are looking for a host that provides welcome platters on arrival, champagne in the fridge and who will contact you throughout your stay, we may not be the right host for you.

What you will get from us are well equipped, fairly priced, pet and family friendly holiday homes that are loved by their owners.

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. In busy periods it may take us a few hours to get to messages so picking up the phone is the fastest and best way for us to provide you with the support you need in an urgent situation.

As we are a licensed real estate agent you can be assured that all properties are fully insured, meet fire safety standards and are registered with NSW planning.

Don’t just book any holiday home, choose a Professional Holiday Home!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy calm swimming beaches and a relaxed coastal culture in this scenic town. Tucked into the northern pocket of Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast, Callala Bay has a boat ramp and jetty, providing easy access to the clear aqua waters for sailing, fishing and snorkelling. Make sure you keep an eye out for dolphins.

You can learn to sail with Jervis Bay Sailing Club, or go bushwalking and fishing in nearby Jervis Bay National Park. The park is a natural sanctuary of sand forests, eucalypt woodlands and beaches with powder-white sand. It’s also home to abundant wildlife and important Aboriginal cultural conservation sites.

Just south of Callala Bay is gorgeous Callala Beach, which is backed by a reserve with BBQs and picnic tables. At Club Callala enjoy a bite to eat, lawn bowls and a round of golf on the 18-hole course where kangaroos roam. A courtesy bus operates around the local area seven days a week.

Nearby is the village of Myola, located on the banks of Currambene Creek, a popular fishing spot. You can rent a boat from Husky Hire-A-Boat at Woollamia Boat Ramp and explore the pretty waterway. Take the Husky Ferry from Myola to Huskisson, where dolphin and whale-watching cruises depart.
