Designer beach house, beautiful views, north facing, located on the best part of Culburra Beach with safe swimming, pet friendly, huge deck and garden...

Forty Paces offers the perfect place to unwind in luxurious yet welcoming comfort. It has beeen lovingly renovated, impeccably styled and thoughtfully appointed, all with the guest in mind. It's the little things like the fireplace, the hot outdoor shower and the Nespresso coffee machine that make this house feel like a home. From themoment you walk in the door, the stunning water view, the salty air and the sound of the crashing waves, lets you know you're on holiday.

Ideally positioned, facing north, it is a short stroll from the back gate to the patrolled flagged area or to the more sheltered Tilbury Cove. Culburra Beach is pet friendly, so the 4.5km of sandy shore is doggy paradise. You may just be lucky enough to spot a whale or even swim with the dolphins that are often seen close to shore.

With two bedrooms, two living areas and two bathrooms the house works perfectly for a family or friends. Having a separate space for the kids works brilliantly and is a rarity in a holiday house. Cleverly designed, Forty Paces is an extremely adaptable space that also suits those looking for a more intimate and romantic getaway.

The large level fenced backyard is equally as exciting for the four legged family member as it is for the kids. The gardens have been designed with the prettiest of native plants that entice the incredible birdlife in the area, the Black Cockatoo a firm favourite. With front and rear decks, the house provides options for outdoor living depending on the weather.

Once you've stayed at Forty Paces you'll want to come back, again and again and again.

    A fabulous stay at 40 Paces. Literally across from the beach. A dog walkers paradise. Close to a great cafe - superb lunches and morning coffee. The house is spotless and well appointed. Sitting on the deck watching the water and waves is delightful. We’ll be back!!

    A marvelous place in a terrific location, with the beach just beyond the backyard. We couldn't explore the surrounds for few day due to wild rainstorms, but fortunately the house was warm and cozy thanks to the fireplace. We'll be coming back for sure.

    Well appointed house that worked well for a long weekend away. Very clean and comfortable with a nice outlook towards the ocean. Generous amount of kitchen supplies to support self catering. Looked well equipped for handling a bigger family group.

    I stayed in this gorgeous house for a wet chilly week with my sister, my 82 year old neighbour and my dog. We could not have been happier with the comfort, warmth and attention to detail that the house offered. Bron is an incredible host, checking in by text without intruding. I have enjoyed many family holidays in Culburra in the past but this is truly the most spectacular property I have visited. A short walk to the beautiful beach, brilliant views from the deck and living areas, an incredibly well equipped kitchen and super comfortable beds. I hope to bring my family back soon!

    Desperate to escape a gloomy Adelaide winter and a hectic work calendar I bundled my Border Collie, Gracie into the car and headed to Forty Paces collecting my mother from rural NSW along the way. Forty Paces was exactly the mid winter haven I desired. A beautiful property extremely well maintained and everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay at your finger tips. Bronwyn, the host was lovely to deal with right from the beginning of our booking. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She showed genuine care that our long journey was safe. Gracie loved her daily walks on the pristine beach a mere stones throw from the back deck. A wonderful home to wile away the hours buried in a book or simply watching the water.

    We honestly could not fault Forty Paces for the quintessential beach house holiday. The location and view are incredible, with the beach just a short stroll from the back gate. The big back yard was a huge win for both kids and dog, and the icing on the cake was whale watching from the deck. Everything has been thought of, and the house is well equipped and spotless. Bron was so lovely and amazing with all communication. We would love to stay here again in a heartbeat, what a special place.
