️ Matilda’s on the Beach – Absolute Beachfront & Pet Friendly

Please reach out to confirm date availability if dates don't show up as feedback from other guests is the search function is sensitive, particularly for last minute booking requests.

Welcome to Matilda's, an absolute beachfront sanctuary for a sun, sand and surf filled getaway!

Named after a Third Fleet Convict Ship, the MV Matilda took refuge on Callala Beach to make repairs on her wayto Sydney Cove and in doing so became the first European Vessel to enter Jervis Bay.

With the white sands of Callala Beach as your backyard and the pristine aquamarine waters of Jervis Bay as your playground, this vibrant home is your ticket to a perfect beachfront retreat.

Matilda’s offers an unforgettable experience as the sounds of surf lulls to sleep up to 13 guests across its 3 cozy bedrooms which sleep 9 in the main house and 4 guests can be accommodated in the separate 2 bedroom studio.

Here, you'll find a home as inviting as the ocean breeze that flows through its windows. With 2 bathrooms, including a new bathroom conveniently located in the seperate studio, just steps away from the main house, there’s plenty of space for everyone. The house is fitted with reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, ensuring your comfort on the hottest days and cosy and warm in winter. The studio bedrooms have ceiling fans and split system reverse cycle air conditioning

Step out into the back garden, and you're literally on the beach! Matilda’s offers direct access to the sandy shores, making it a paradise for beach lovers. And if you have a boat, there's ample space to park it right there with you on the premises.

Your furry friends are welcome too with payment of the appropriate pet fee for their stay. They can enjoy direct access to the “Off Leash” section of the beach. Your dogo’s can join you in all the beach fun and then when it’s time to rest there is a fully fenced and enclosed courtyard and grassed area safely away from the street, driveway and the beach, ensuring they can safely relax while you soak up the sun.

Relax on the covered back deck whilst keeping an eye on the kids playing on the beach.

Inside, the fun never stops. Challenge your friends and family to friendly competitions with the board games provided.

Create the perfect beachfront ambiance with your favourite tunes using the Bluetooth speaker while you fire up the BBQ for alfresco feasting on the deck, complete with the sound of the gentle waves lapping in the background.

After a day of beach-combing and sunbathing, rinse off the salt and sand in the outdoor shower before you relax in the comfort of your beachfront paradise. As the day winds down, gather around for a cozy evening indoors and enjoy complimentary Netflix, or simply let the sound of the waves serenade you to sleep.

At Matilda’s, no matter how you spend your time, you're guaranteed to create special holiday memories to cherish for a lifetime.

    Our recent stay at here was absolutely flawless. This home was perfect for our two families and our two dogs.From the moment we arrived everything was immaculate and perfectly clean. The location simply cannot be beaten. Being right on the beach made getting to the sand and water so easy. Watching those beautiful sunrises over the ocean right from the backyard was a huge highlight.Our host, Leonie was wonderful. She was always prompt to reply and incredibly accommodating throughout our stay.Honestly, we couldn't fault a thing. It was just such a relaxing experience and we're already hoping to come back to this amazing place soon!

    Absolutely beautiful location and wonderful property. We had a winter getaway here with extended family (6 adults, a 7 year old and 10 week old baby) and 2 dogs. The house was clean, cosy and had every amenity you could think of. Leonie had thought of everything you could need/want including games, books, smart TV (with all major streaming services/apps) kitchen supplies, first aid kit, torches, dog supplies, toiletries, laundry powder, beach toys, sports supplies for the kids, portable cot, hot water bottles, extra warm blankets etc.The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and check in, check out etc. was easy. Beds and couches were comfy and there was table space enough to fit us all for lunch and dinner.The view is incredible. Truly beautiful, with the beach literally steps from the back deck. We saw dolphins, sting rays, pelicans, plovers, kangaroos and more. The 7 y.o loved playing on the beach and building sandcastles (again with toys the host supplied which was very appreciated).The off leash dog hours on the beach and gentle waves were great (part of the reason we picked Callala) and our dogs loved swimming and running around there as much as we did.We loved the house and the location and will definitely be booking and staying here again.
