On the Verge - charming Callala Beach cottage

On the Verge is a beautifully presented, traditional cottage, a couple of minutes walk from the clear waters of Callala Beach. With three bedrooms (queen, double, two bunk beds), outdoor dining area, semi-enclosed outdoor lounge, and a spacious backyard, On the Verge is perfect for one family, two couples, or can accommodate two families, as well as dogs (fully fenced). Max four adults please, strictly no schoolies, under 21 yr groups or parties.
On the Verge has everything you need for a relaxing, easy holiday, with a well-equipped kitchen, coffee machine, aircon in the living area, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, flat screen TVs (one in the kids' room with a DVD player), board games, books, toys, outdoor BBQ and woodfire for marshmallow roasting and star-gazing, swings, a cubby hut, a climbing tree, range of outdoor games (including badminton and croquet) and an outdoor shower for washing off after the beach.

Callala Beach area:

Callala Beach is an easy 2 1/2 hour drive south of Sydney and 3 hours from Canberra. It is one of the last sleepy coastal villages with friendly locals, surrounded marine park and national parks.

Callala Beach is renowned for its 4km stretch of beautiful white sand & clear blue waters and is a favourite spot for resident pods of dolphins and migrating whales. Nature is abundant, kangaroo spotting or bird watching with the wake up calls of kookaburras, rosellas and sea eagles. Bring your kayaks for the beach or creek, fishing rods for the rock platform from the beach, snorkelling, sailing, boogie-boarding, boat riding, and cycling, are all popular activities. Catch the ferry to Huskisson for ice cream, fish and chips or a delicious pub lunch.

There are two boat ramps in close proximity, Myola (5min drive) and Callala Bay (5min drive).

The Callala Beach RSL is a great, kid-friendly meeting place with a cheap and cheerful menu, and a 9 hole golf course where you can see Kangaroos.

5 mins drive away, Callala Bay offers Italian and Chinese restaurants, IGA, butcher, bakery, and coffee shop.

An ideal south coast getaway in an idyllic location! Our family really enjoyed their stay and loved the easy stroll to the beautiful Callala Beach! The cottage is well appointed and is an easy fit for young families. My kids loved having the trampoline and we all appreciated the warm outdoor shower post beach! We hope to be back

Location was great. House clean and tidy work well stocked kitchen appliances and utensils. Everything we needed. Loved the coffee machine. Plenty of games to play. Great sitting on the front verandah anytime of day. Lovely shady tree in front yard. Yards very well fenced for our dog. And good sized back yard.The only thing that could be better was the oven took longer than expected. Door may not close properly.

Loved our stay here with family & kids aged 4-8. Short walk to kid-friendly beach. Quiet streets for bike riding. Little cafe down the road. Everything in the kitchen we needed to cook meals. Family friendly eat-out options within walking distance. Convenient beds set up. Great outdoor space/backyard. Trampoline. Good entertainment options. Off street parking for multiple vehicles - short drive to all your other Jervis Bay highlights. Suzanne was super helpful and responsive - check in was easy. We booked this place last minute and it had everything to make our weekend a really enjoyable, stress-free getaway.

We had a wonderful week's stay at On The Verge. The short walk to the beach made it extra special. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The yard was excellent for our two Miniature Schnauzers with secure fencing all around.
