An original beach cottage which has been renovated to provide that old holiday charm with all the modern conveniences.

Single level and fully fenced, Shoal Cottage is both child and dog friendly and with a large enclosed back garden there’s plenty of space to play and relax.

Centrally located just 3 mins walk to the river and 5mins walk from the beach, shops and the Heads Hotel, this holiday house is all about location.

The house contains one master bedroom with a queen size bed and two further bedrooms, one with a king single size bunk bed and the other with two single beds. There is a family bathroom including bath and shower, a living/dining area with doors leading onto an enclosed deck and lawn and a modern kitchen with gas hob and dishwasher. Other amenities include washing machine, smart TV, air conditioning/heating system, wireless internet, Bluetooth speaker, gas BBQ, outdoor shower and fire pit.

Shoalhaven Heads is the perfect location to explore the NSW south coast and is an easy two hours drive south of Sydney. There is lots to see and do with highlights including the picturesque village of Berry (12mins), the vibrant coastal towns of Gerringong/Gerroa (15mins) and three local wineries within 5mins drive. The village itself is well equipped with several local shops and cafes, a fantastic local pub, a bowling club, and the recently opened Bangalay Villas fine dining restaurant. The local outdoor swimming pool (open Nov-March) is 3 minutes walk from the house. Further afield the white sands of Jervis Bay and the gorgeous village of Kangaroo Valley are both within 40 minutes drive.

    A beautiful lakeside home only a short walk to all the beauty that Shoalhaven Heads has to offer. We enjoyed our stay in the lovely Shoal cottage - a wonderful big backyard with sand pit and slippery dip for the little ones to play and run around in, and a fire pit to sit around and toast marshmallows at night. We look forward to staying again :)

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shoal Cottage with our fur baby. The location was brilliant, it felt like home as soon as we walked in. We loved the big backyard, the fenced front yard, the cottage was very clean inside and out, the bed was comfortable and the cottage had everything you need. Thankyou.

    Very comfortable cottage with lovely beach vibe. Everything is in good working order and the hosts have thoughtfully provided little extras you could want. Very clean and fresh feel inside. Great secure big back yard for a pet friendly stay. A very convenient base to enjoy the river and beachside walks in this lovely area.

    My family and I, including our dog, had a wonderful, relaxing weekend at Shoal Cottage. The house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Heaters in every room kept us warm and cosy and the fire pit was also a great addition. The dog was VERY impressed with the off-leash beach, especially as it was so close to the house! We’ll definitely come back again.

    Our stay at Shoal Cottage was nothing short of delightful. The cottage exudes warmth and comfort, equipped with all the essentials for a relaxing getaway. The backyard was a highlight; our two dogs had ample space to run and play safely, thanks to the fully fenced yard. It's genuinely pet-friendly, aligning perfectly with its description—a rarity in our past experiences. The single-level layout and proximity to the beach added to the convenience, making it an ideal retreat for both humans and their furry companions.
