Malda's Retreat - Pet Friendly Absolute Beachfront

Was over all a great place to stay, we really enjoyed the relaxing nature of the house and neighbourhood. As a hot person i think some aircon in the living room would make it 100% some small things like washing tablets. Bin liners ect were available so we needed to purchase them.

This is a disappointing beach shack in dire need of maintenance and investment to update inadequate and outdated amenities. The house was in some disrepair and poorly maintained. Back gate broken (our dog escaped a number of times), holes in deck, bbq filthy, fans dirty, basic utensils like crockery and cutlery were of poor standard, fridge shelving missing, etc. property manager fixed broken gate after we complained but we shouldn’t have had to draw it to their attention if there had been proper maintenance. Property has good access to culburra beach but it’s a very basic beach shack and not the premium quality at which it is pitched and priced.

Great location, need to ensure basics like dishwasher soap and garbage bags are available, also would recommend a vacuum cleaner be available as it is hard to clean up dog hair on wood floors.I would highly recommend that the air conditioners get a thorough cleaning before the weather gets hot. They are in dire need of cleaning.

The house has so much potential, however it is very dated and not very clean. Some maintenance is needed. Bedding in main bedroom has a hole in it. Generally the place needs a good deep clean.

What an amazing property! Everything was perfect for both us and our Fur Babies. Culburra is so welcoming and The Common establishment has great food, drinks and music! We will be back for sure!

A lovely, private house with great light/windows. Well equipped.Beautiful backyard with short walk to the coast (area has significant dune height between the track & the beach, though a short walk nearby takes you to the beach).

The location was fabulous and amenities were just as expected. We had a great time!

We stayed for a week and enjoyed the property with our family and four legged friends. We stayed during the cyclone rain bomb and so spent a lot of time indoors and with the wood fired stove keeping us warm and making smores. The beach was amazing and the builders next door were friendly and caused us no problems during the stay.The house was well equipped and we coped with some small leaks during the torrential rain and had all the mops we needed - presumably rain that bad is a one in hundred event.All in all for a wet week it was great and we will book again.

A fantastic house with plenty of room , and a very short walk to the beach!! Also in easy walking distance of coffee shops, supermarket, bottle shop, restaurants and a great little cocktail bar.

Perfect beach location, direct access to dog friendly beach in which our Labrador loved. The house in general is great, nice light and private-comfortable living areas,beds and clean linen. Attention to detail lacking in aspects of home, kitchen wares and crockery definately in need of upgrade..TVs in need of repair,Netflix not working.Spa and surrounds lovely although BBQ gas bottle empty on arrival which was frustrating .All in all we had a lovely stay and loved Culburra ,room for improvements though

Lovely home

We had a relaxing time. Property was clean and comfortable.

Overall a great propery with the added bonus of outdoor spa. House very comportable and spacious. Would suggest fencing needs to be checked as small dog got out several times after finding a few spots that had loose or broken wire fencing.

Our stay at Malda's Retreat was great. I loved that the backyard was gorgeous and also totally fenced and safe for my dog. The nearby dog beach was wonderful. The house was beautiful and comfortable and the hot tub was to die for!
