CULBURRA HOUSE

Culburra House is very private with a protected beach front position and the views are second to none. All surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The house has been meticulously designed with entertainment and fun in mind. Luxury, comfort and practicality all take equal priority at Culburra House.

The second you walk through the front door into the open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area you will be knocked over by the views of the beach, ocean and mountains! Ten meters of sliding glass doors open directly onto an enormous covered deck that spans the width of the house. The combined floor area totals an enormous 90m2 and the soaring vaulted ceilings create an incredible open feeling.

ON THE DECK

There's a huge heavy wooden dining table, an almighty 5-burner Beefeater BBQ, bar fridge, pullout bin and drawer stocked with everything you will need to char grill to your heart's content. There's also an overhead fan to keep everyone cool and comfortable while watching the whales that frequently pass by (May to Aug and Oct to Dec) or the glorious sunsets (with drink in hand of course) .

THE CHEFS KITCHEN

Is to-die-for, with commercial stainless steel benches, a huge 140cm double fridge, 120cm double gas oven with simmer plate/wok burner, top quality pots, pans, knives, a double drawer dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine (so don't forget to bring lots of capsules!) and almost everything else a chef could wish for in a kitchen. The pantry is stocked with all the basics as well as a range of cleaning products. There is also a large round dining table which seats 8 and can be extended to handle a group of up to 14.

THE MAIN LOUNGE ROOM

Has probably the most comfortable oversized 'swallow me' linen sofas you will ever experience. The sofas are perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning view, watch the 50" TV or gaze on the beautiful fireplace. You can build a roaring open fire for marshmallow toasting or use the fireplace as a combustion stove for cozy winter warming. Culburra House also comes with enough fire wood to ensure you can keep the house warm and cozy throughout your stay.

3 BEDROOMS & A LARGE BUNK ROOM/PLAY ROOM

1 x king bedroom
2 x queen bedrooms
1 x playroom - queen sofa bed and 2 sets of triple bunks.

We've gone to town here! All beds are fitted with luxurious 100% Sheridan linen, 100% Australian wool underlays and feather duvets for extra snugness and warmth. There is two sets of pillows on the king and queens and a beautiful alpaca throw on each bed. Each bed also has a bedside light and power point. The sofa bed is no ordinary sofa bed, rigged with a commercial grade mechanism and a 6-inch inner spring mattress which should ensure a comfortable night's sleep! There is also a pool table, ping pong table and a big screen TV with a good selection of movies to keep everyone entertained when they're not at the beach.


BATHROOMS & AN OUTDOOR SHOWER AREA

There is two indoor bathrooms and a separate bathroom/powder room at Culburra House. One bathroom includes an enormous bath made from a giant river stone as well as a generous 12'' shower-head. The second bathroom has a large walk-in shower tiled with river stones. There is also a hot and cold outdoor shower for rinsing after the beach and a stainless steel rinsing station for your cossie, wetsuit and snorkelling, spear fishing and diving gear.


OUTDOOR SEATING AREAS - SPOILT FOR CHOICE

You'll be totally spoilt for choice for places to sit and relax at Culburra House. Take in the incredible views from the dining table on the main deck or spread out in The Penguin Lounge just outside the bunk room/playroom. There is plenty of seating in the Penguin lounge as well as an oversized low wooden table all surrounded by a lush garden of bamboo. There is also an intimate sitting area which captures the glorious morning sunshine on the deck outside the front door. However, the ultimate relaxation spot down of the front deck in the garden. The Tilbury Lounge includes two four seater and one two seater lounges and a fire pit. You can sit in the sun while taking in the view of the beach and ocean or sit around the fire pit slow cooking your dinner on the giant Brazilian style skewers or toasting marshmallows.


LOCATION, LOCATION - VIEWS, PRIVACY, POSITION with 2 BEACH ACCESS

Culburra House has the BEST VIEWS in Culburra (well, we think so anyway) and the northwest orientation means the house is filled with gorgeous sunshine, priceless in the winter months. The aspect also means we experience something very few houses on the east coast of Australia enjoy, magnificent sunsets over the ocean timed perfectly for wine o'clock.

Culburra House is also VERY PRIVATE. The property is fully fenced and surrounded by lush gardens. The house is situated up on a headland and bordered on one side by a large grassed area. This means there is only neighbours on one side of the property.

Another feature of Culburra House is something you can't see and many will probably never realise this about the house. Due to the unique position of the property, tucked snuggly into Tilbury Cove, the house, decks and seating areas are TOTALLY PROTECTED from the southerly and nor'easter winds (Culburra means "very windy place"). These winds can be reasonably strong to say the least, particularly in the summer months with the nor'easter winds. When everyone else has to move inside and batten down the hatches you will be able to continue to sit on the deck or in the Tilbury Lounge enjoying the views in a pleasant breeze. This really has to be experienced to be believed!

We also have TWO BEACHES both within 2-3 minutes walk. One of our guests recently stated "you can hear the waves in stereo!" Directly in front of Culburra House is Tilbury Cove. This is the most protected section of Culburra Beach. It is safe for swimming, and great for snorkelling. Just round the point is also one of the best spots to free dive for lobster on the South Coast! Directly across the street is a gently sloping path leading down to Warrain Surf Beach. This means you can move from beach to beach depending on the conditions. The surf at Warrain has produced a number of Australian and World surf champions. If you're lucky enough to have a hunter-gatherer or two in your group, Culburra is also known for its excellent river, lake and ocean fishing and you can also catch prawns, crab and lobster!


DOGS - VERY WELCOME

Dogs are very welcome at Culburra House. Both beaches are dog friendly and leash free between 4pm and 8am. The property is fully enclosed so your pooch can roam freely in the garden. There is also a selection of bowls, dog tags with the Culburra House address (for your use during your stay) as well as a few doggie toys. While your pets are allowed inside the house, we ask that you keep them off of the furniture and beds please.
