The Captains Cabin, is a converted old school room, made into three bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and a backyard overlooking a large paddock. It is just one block from the bakery, cafes and half a block from the local hotel. It is 7 mins stroll to surf, and 1 min to the lake, hotel and shops. Sit and watch the view and have a barbeque.
It has a covered front veranda and at the back, a spacious outdoor entertaining area opening onto your private paddock that you can park your boat and car in. (Entry at 3 Dorron Ave, Bruces Boat Parking)
You can park your boat either beside the unit at the front entry, or even more private, park in the paddock at the back. Entry through 3 Dorron Ave. When you park behind in the paddock you will be able to see your boat from the back patio BBQ area. This is where you can wash your boat. You can also moor your craft at the jetty below.
Pets are allowed into the cabin as well as the fenced yard. The Captain’s Cabin provides secure 1200 mm high fencing to slow down dogs and young children. Remember to put anti-tick medication on your dog (Bravecto or similar - Frontline flea, is not strong enough Mallacoota ticks).
Its three bedrooms includes one queen, one single bed with a trundle bed, and a double bunk. We also have a double Sofa Bed in the lounge. The Cabin is set up to accommodate 5 people - but can sleep up to 8, provided you are happy to share a bed.

Lovely little cabin just a few minutes walk from town and beaches, very clean and comfortable. Our dogs loved the big fenced in yard, would definitely stay again!
stayed for work, but am looking forward to bringing the family back to fully enjoy what Captains Cabin has to offer. Very clean, has everything you would need for a comfortable stay.
Bruce’s cabin was such a great place to stay in, clean and so accommodating for my pet dog especially with the front yard being secure with enough space to run around in. Thank you, will definitely be back.
The property was comfortable and well presented. It had all the basics and wasn’t overstyled which can be very stressful when you’ve got little ones. The location is great, close to the shops and the inlet.
The check in process was easy and we knew we could contact the property manager if we needed.

sunny and warm during winter
We really enjoyed our 2 nights here. This has obviously just been painted and the kitchen updated. Good heating, even though there is no carpet. The big windows in the kitchen and back area mean the place is light filled all day. I'm guessing they'll update the crockery by summer.

An older but very clean and quaint cottage, walking distance to the shops and water around Mallacoota.
The manager Shane was very accommodating and friendly.
Very clean and fantastic shower (great water pressure) great place for a family as almost all things needed have been taken into consideration. Amazing communication from management. Looking forward to next visit.

Lovely little cottage, nothing flash, but clean and tidy with everything supplied. Convenient to town. No real views from this property. Shane was a lovely property manager, polite and helpful.
