Polly’s is a perfect choice for families or couples looking for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. Located in the tranquil village of Callala Bay in the Shoalhaven area, on the northern shores of Jervis Bay.

Callala Bay is a fantastic holiday location. A pleasant 2 ½ hour drive from Sydney this area has it all - safe swimming, great walks, idyllic scenery and plenty of opportunities for fishing, boating and bike riding.

Polly’s has a large, central open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen in the middle of the house. Enjoy a great family meal around the large dining table. There are two lounges, a large wall-mounted smart TV and cosy fireplace for those chillier winter nights. Internet access is provided free. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, coffee machine, large oven and gas cooktop, fridge, kettle, toaster and more.

In summer the ducted air-conditioning throughout will keep you comfortable on warmer days.

Polly’s is a 240m stroll from Wowly Creek, Callala Bay and guests can follow the walking track along the spectacular Callala Bay Headland to the beautiful Callala Beach.

The boat ramp is located a few hundred metres away or bring the fishing gear and throw in a line off the Callala Bay wharf. There are two outdoor showers to wash off the sand once you come back to the house.

The local shops are just a 10-minute walk away and provide all you need for a relaxing coastal break. There is an IGA, a hot food takeaway, cafes, boutique / gift shop and bakery. There is even a day spa if you want to reward yourself with a massage or facial. You can also stop off on your way through at Nowra Fresh and the Farmers Market to collect supplies. Callala Bay and Callala Beach have a few lovely restaurants and cafes if you choose to dine out. Nowra is only a 20-minute drive away. Berry is located slightly further afield and well worth a visit.

There are so many pristine beaches to explore around Currarong, Culburra Beach or further down the coast in Jervis Bay. Beecroft Peninsula and the lighthouse at Point Perpendicular are also worth exploring. Book your beachside holiday with us today!

This was a beautiful stay for our group of friends. The house was clean and so close to the beach. We didn't have any wifi on the trip however and it wasn't fixed for us but we were informed beforehand. Would love to come stay again. It was gorgeous!

Large family house

Well positioned and very comfortable home. We were a group of 10 and had lots of space. Easy walk to the inlet at Callala Bay. One thing to be aware of is the bathroom set up, only one main bathroom and the other an open plan style ensuite. The 4 pm check in is a pain and really should be reconsidered.

Thank you Jason for your great review. We appreciate your 5-star rating and are thrilled to hear your group of 10 had such a comfortable stay. We always try to offer our guests a 2pm check in, however in peak season due to back to back bookings it isnt always possible. We hope to have the opportunity to host you all again for another future stay.

Beautifull and nice but very late check in.

Absolutely beautiful home. Good and clean facilities we had a very good time but felt like we were only there for a day due to the very late check in. Also had yelling neighbors due to our dogs occasionally noisy in the middle of the day. We made sure to keep them controlled and quiet most of the time though. It was still an amazing stay altogether. The backyard was amazing

They didn’t inform that no internet connection during my stay. I work from . I needed internet badly but no luck. For some reason mobile network was very poor as well. We stayed there for 2 nights. . Children asked for Netflix.They were bored . Cleanliness was very good, no issues at all.

Great location

We had a fabulous stay at Polly’s! Very close to Callala Bay which is absolutely gorgeous with crystal blue water :) Very short 2min drive from the shops which has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. We loved the 850m road loop we were on as it made for a great running track. The house itself was very spacious, it had 2 ends which comfortably housed 2 families each with their on living quarters and bathrooms. Big garage with lots of storage. Pros: Close to beach and shops Quiet peaceful area Large kitchen and living spaces Aircon Large outdoor entertaining area Several TV’s Cons: 2nd fridge would have been ideal Thanks for a lovely stay!

Good house, excellent location but annoying late check-in (4 pm)

Polly's is in an excellent location and the house was well set up for our multi-generational family group. The property managers(Holiday Rental Specialists) demand an uncomfortable amount of personal information; have endless rules and regulations (with threats of fines for all sorts) and only allowed a 4 pm check in. This was not compensated by a later check out time. The apparent reason was cleaning but it was quite clear to us the property was ready for us by 2pm( no cleaners there)and when we finally received the code and got in, we found the outdoor patio had not been cleaned. We found fragments of glass there, dust and bird droppings. The gas for the BBQ ran out after using it once. I would not normally fuss about small details but we had to jump through so many hoops to get access, even after we had paid the full fee, I felt annoyed by the time we arrived. Fortunately, we had a lovely few days and the house itself is fine.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Sylvia. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the property well set up for your group. We are sorry to hear that you found our policies over bearing and that we were unable to offer you a complimentary early check in this time around. It sounds like our usual high standards of cleaning were not met and we do apologise. We welcome the opportunity to host you in the future for a 5 star experience all round.
