About this property

Pagoda @ Culburra - Pet Friendly - Newly Renovated

2022 Award Winner - Best Value Property

With its amazing Balinese pagoda and numerous large windows, this house’s spacious layout will give your stay a light, airy feel. Of course, being nestled between a lake, a bay and two beaches doesn’t hurt either!

From sunrise to sunset, Pagoda will provide you with everything you need to enjoy your stay in the beautiful coastal town of Culburra Beach. Wake up to the sound of birds in the trees and make yourself an espresso coffee to enjoy outside. When the urge strikes to have your first swim of the day, you can grab a towel and in ten minutes sink your toes into the stunning sands of the local beach. After swimming in the sparkling waves decide how you want to spend the rest of your day in one of the most beautiful places in the country.

Stay inside comfortably in any kind of weather with the air conditioning or relax in front of the roaring combustion fire and enjoy some Netflix on TV, or settle down on a chair outside in the sun with a book and a cuppa. When the weather is good (and it usually is), prepare food together in the fully equipped kitchen, then cook up a storm on the BBQ outside on the Pagoda (which we know will be your favourite spot for some cold drinks!)

The back garden is fully enclosed so Fido can run free, and a secret gate out the back will have you at the local shops and cafes within 2 minutes flat! Once you’re fed and rested, it’s time to see the sights; the shining sands and sparkling waves of Warrain Beach and Culburra Beach are close by, as is Penguin Head with its breathtaking view off the headland. There’s so much to see and do, and however you spend your time in this beautiful vista, Pagoda will ensure you’ll make happy memories to last a lifetime.

Mid week stay

Close to local shops and restaurants. Newly and nicely renovated. Nice pagoda in the front yard for relaxing. Second bedroom is seperate in renovated garage, which could make it convenient for couples wanting some privacy as it is physically seperate from the main house. Dog friendly is a plus, but there are gaps under the house in the rear yard that small dogs (we have dachshund) could escape which was a bit disappointing. Overall a nice house.

Disappointed in this host bribing guests for 5 star reviews

I wasn’t going to leave a review, but this morning I received two messages from the host saying that if I leave a 5 star review, I will get 50. This to me seems super disingenuous and unfair to future guests who are being lied to. Our *honest* review on this stay is that it was 3/5. The house was clean (5/5 there), however ammenities were flimsy and cheap (all Kmart brand) which made using them hard. There were no scissors, knives were too blunt to use, plates so cheap they were paper thin and see through. It is clear this house was designed for aesthetics over practicality, and is not one actually lived in by the hosts. Further more two important things to note is 1) the second bedroom is completely seperate to the house and actually in the garage. If you were planning to travel with kids, be aware you will be in two seperate areas (main house and garage, with two seperate entry ways / doors). 2) while there is a fenced in backyard, this doesn’t connect to the house (there is no door in the house leading to a secure outside area). If you have your dog and want to have them inside and outside, or leave the door open for them while your inside, there’s no way to secure them, and they can easily walk onto the road or wander off.

Thank you for your feedback. We take these claims seriously and must clarify that **we do not offer or send incentives for 5-star reviews**. Any suggestion otherwise is incorrect. All reviews shared by guests are voluntary and reflect their personal experiences. We maintain a firm policy against review incentives to preserve transparency and fairness for all future guests. Regarding the property itself, we appreciate you noting the cleanliness. The home is professionally styled and fitted for short-term rental use, not as a lived-in private residence, which is common and appropriate for holiday accommodation. Kitchen inventory, including scissors and knives, is regularly checked and replaced as needed, and we encourage guests to notify us during their stay if any item is missing or not functioning so it can be promptly addressed. The layout of the property, including the configuration of the second bedroom and backyard access, is clearly stated in the listing. Guests are expected to review these details before booking to ensure suitability for their specific needs. We appreciate constructive feedback when it reflects the terms and facts accurately, and we remain committed to providing a fair and high-standard experience for all guests.

Quiet Central Culburra Beach

Walking distance to shops and beach. The house is small. Could do with extra kitchen utensils and appliances such as a stick vac, silicone spatulas, microwave dishes with lids, an electric frypan and a large pot with a lid. Needs a deep clean, especially the lounge, rug, carpets and windows. Would be nice to have small additions such as firewood and ice in the freezer neither of which was on hand when we arrived. Overall though, a good location. Quiet. Bed is comfy. Netflix was a welcome inclusion. Wifi is terrible but I believe that's the area, not specific to this dwelling.

Tiny

Within an hour of arrival we had a old guy show up with his dog to drop off a bin to put our recyclables in. Gave us his life story. Told him to come back later in the week to pick it up. Second day same guy shows up with another bin basically walked up to the back door. Called the property management and was basically told I didn't deal with this issue properly. Next day another guy shows up to tell us the old guy wont be back but we need to mow the lawn as its overgrown. Told him to come back another day. Went away for some quiet time and obviously couldn't get it so we left a day early. Property management was dismissive of all my concerns and refused to offer any form of compensation. I guess we were just unlucky this time. Would not stay there again.

Hi Jason, unfortunately we're not able to control the actions of a member of the public. Not something we could foresee and not something we could prevent. You didn't call us when this first occurred, you called us the second day when you said he had come back. Our property management team responded to your call both professionally and friendly, taking your concern into account. The owners were called straight away to let them know and had it sorted so you wouldn't need to worry about being disturbed. Problem solved within 2 minutes. To state that our team were dismissive of your concerns is a false statement in every sense. The man who turned up to tell you the man would not be back and mow the lawn was actually the owner, who was, for your comfort trying to do the right thing. Leaving early was unnecessary and your choice. Your experience does not reflect the usual guest satisfaction at this property.

A comfortable house at Culburra Beach

We really enjoyed our stay at Pagoda Culburra Beach. The house was clean and fresh. It was a comfortable space, and we loved the extra provisions, such as milk and butter in the fridge, coffee machine and pods, sauces, salt & pepper etc. We used the outdoor pagoda each evening, and again it is spacious and with great furniture and bbq. The separate bedroom and bathroom worked well for us, as we were two couples. We could enjoy the shared living spaces, then have privacy at night. One small thing - The remote for the living room TV was tricky, and we could only have the sound at one level (fairly loud) or mute. Great house for a coastal stay.

Lovely spot for a cosy long weekend

We really enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on the massive comfy couch on a wintery weekend. The kitchen was also very well stocked with new utensils which made cooking easy. The backyard was very secure for our dogs. We have no recommended the house to friends of ours as we found it to be such a great spot.
