Escape-Luxury Absolute Beachfront Holiday Home, Culburra Beach

“Escape is a truly amazing holiday home – the best we have ever stayed in.”
Jane G, January 2023

“Escape is our number one choice for staying in Culburra.”
Belinda

Winner of 6 South Coast Tourism and Stayz Awards

Escape is a multi-award-winning, luxury designer beach house located absolute beachfront in the prestigious “dress circle” of Culburra Beach. North-facing and set at the safe, patrolled (summer) southern end of the beach near Tilbury Cove, Escape offers breathtaking views, direct private beach access, and an exceptional coastal holiday experience.

This is one of the rarest beachfront homes on the east coast — positioned right on the sand, facing due north, with panoramic ocean views and all-day sunshine.

✔ Our calendar is always accurate and up to date.

Escape is ideal for families, couples, groups of friends, and guests holidaying with their dog. We are also perfectly located near popular wedding venues in Terara, Merribee, Nowra and Berry, making Escape an excellent base for wedding guests and families.
Please note: Escape is not available for weddings or parties of any kind.

Property Highlights
• Absolute Beachfront – walk directly from the garden onto 3 km of beautiful Culburra Beach via your own private access. Located at the best, safe swimming end of the beach (patrolled in summer).
• Stunning Ocean Views – uninterrupted coastal views from all living areas and the main bedroom. Fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.
• Single-Level Living – rare for a beachfront home. Ideal for mature guests with wide ramp access, no steps, and safety rails in the shower and toilet. All living areas open onto the deck.
• Enormous Deck & Outdoor Pavilion – featuring a Weber BBQ, outdoor dining table, large outdoor lounges, sun loungers and a spacious flat lawn below.
• Open-Plan Living & Kitchen – huge modern kitchen with all new appliances, excellent cookware, and a large dining table seating 10. Two comfortable lounge areas.
• Flat Lawn & Native Garden – perfect for children and outdoor relaxation, with a lower deck and outdoor shower.

Escape @ Culburra – The Ultimate Aussie Beachside Getaway

Culburra is the quintessential Australian beach town — relaxed, friendly, and surrounded by spectacular natural beauty.

Culburra Beach is literally on your doorstep, with Warrain Beach just a 5-minute walk away. Both are surf beaches, and according to our surfing sons, it’s the perfect combination.

The local Bowling Club (“the bowlo”) is fabulous, and the town has a large, well-stocked Woolworths with long opening hours — including home delivery, so you can arrive to your shopping already waiting. Don’t miss the wonderful Little Snapper, a popular new restaurant and coffee spot in the town centre.

Nature, Adventure & Local Experiences

Culburra is nestled among some of the Shoalhaven’s most beautiful countryside, offering endless things to see and do:

Fishing from the beach or river — even catch fish right in front of the house

Lake Woolumboola, famous for its birdlife

Shoalhaven River & nearby lakes with two boat ramps

Beach and bush walks, including dog-friendly trails

Surf school nearby — lessons, board hire, wetsuits, kayaks & paddleboards

Flat, quiet streets perfect for bike riding

Children’s playground & picnic area just 5 minutes away

Explore the Region

Within easy reach you’ll find:

Jervis Bay (15 minutes)

Callala Beach (15 minutes)

Secluded white-sand beaches near Currarong, including stunning Honeymoon Bay

Fresh seafood and Australia’s best oysters at nearby Greenwell Point

Local wineries, restaurants, dairy farms, and even a robotic dairy experience

Golf (3 courses nearby) and horse riding

We’re just 2.5 hours from Sydney and 3 hours from Canberra.

Something Special

We proudly raise puppies for Guide Dogs NSW. Each puppy spends their first 12 months with us before beginning formal training — and they love their holidays at Escape! Photos are available at the house or on Facebook: EscapeatCulburra.

This beautiful home is gorgeously decorated, well equipped (literally everything!), has stunning views, a terrific outdoor area, access to the beach, and a cafe up the road.

This stunning property offers breath-taking views from every corner of the backyard, as well as from all indoor living areas and the main bedroom. The home is immaculate, well equipped, and perfectly suited for our large family and our fur-babies, with multiple spacious areas to relax both inside and out. We were blessed to spot dolphins and whales daily—right from the comfort of this luxurious retreat. The host was warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch that made our stay even more special. We cannot wait to return again!!

Another wonderful stay at Escape! So lucky to have stayed here multiple times - each stay filled with great memories. Jen is a brilliant host and has really thought of everything when curating the Escape experience. A few of our stays have been during winter/ raining weather and it never puts a dampener on our experience because the facilities are so well equipped. The fire place make winter days and nights so cosy and there is something to keep every age occupied. Thanks again Jen - we will be back!

Everything about our stay was better than expected. The house and views were amazing and we were lucky enough to see many, many whales breaching right in front of us while sitting in the lounge room. The house is very tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and there was a special touch for my birthday left for us. I often find that there are a million rules after you have booked and paid your money which can be annoying. This was not the case here. Only reasonable rules.
