About this property

The Deckhouse - Pet Friendly - 2 Mins to Beach

Start your day with a cuppa out on the deck, then grab a towel and sink your toes into the golden sands of one of the South Coast’s finest beaches. Swim, surf, or just float in crystal clear water and dry off under the shining sun whilst the kids splash in the waves and your four-legged friends tire themselves out on the endless coastline.

Enjoy lunch cooked in the modern kitchen or out on the BBQ and dine inside or outside with the sea breeze and sunshine. After eating, the kids will stay entertained by TV, Netflix, a gaming console and foosball in the self-contained flat where they’ll be sleeping at nights, with all their noise safely away from the adults relaxing in front of the TV or chatting out on the deck.

When the weather is perfect as it often is, the owners recommend a walk around the rocks from Warrain Beach to Tilbury Cove, a stroll up to the Lighthouse at the northern end of Culburra Beach, coffee at Ritual Habitual or Food & More, and definitely try to catch the whale migration from the lookout at the end of Penguin Head Road.

There’s so much to see and do, and so many different ways to unwind. However you spend your time in this beautiful vista, The Deckhouse will ensure you’ll make happy memories to last a lifetime.

Holiday house

House was good, siutable for our needs, back lawns need to be mowed, only 1 wine glass plus 2 plastic wine glases. Not owners fault. However, there were a lot of flies, so fly screens on the back door and bungalo door would've been helpful

Cant check in to very late and have to check out very early . Earlier then other property's
Response from VrboOwner on 14 May 2021
Hi Tariq, all of our properties have the same check in and check out times. We're always flexible where we can be and will always get guests in early when we can, unfortunately we had guests checking out the day you checked in, so getting you in earlier when a whole house clean and linen change over needs to be done between guests is harder. We would have loved some feedback about the property

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!
