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.

Our second visit, so wonderful we had to go back

We had another lovely stay at this gorgeous little house. Even with inclement weather, it was a great HQ for beach combing and super comfortable with games, books, DVDs and a lego collection to keep the kids engaged.

Callala Beach Break

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.

A great family and dog friendly getaway close to the beach. Suzanne was very accomodating with our extra dogs which I greatly appreciate.We all had a wonderful time and made some lovely memories.The house was very comfortable and met our expectation.We enjoyed the puzzles and games especially naughts and crosses.We did note the toilet in the main bathroom is loose at the base and may need attention.

This cute property was a smaller property but with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beds were very comfy, large yard for dogs, grandkids loved the trampoline and the board games. We enjoyed our stay, we found the ferry was expensive especially for a family group, probably best to drive

‘On the Verge’……..Beach getaway

Lovely old cottage at Callala Beach……if you’re after a quiet getaway by the sea with your Dog this little cottage offers it all. Comfortable beds, great location, only a short walk to a Dog friendly beach, secure yard and the odd rabbit to watch while you relax on the bench out the front……prime location allowing you to explore beautiful Jervis Bay.
