If you are looking for a holiday house of original and rustic character nestled amongst the trees, backing onto bush, The Hideaway is for you. The house was built in the 1970's by an architect and features a timber ceiling and floors in the main room, with an open fire place. The Japanese inspired design divides the 2 minor bedrooms from the main room with sliding doors that open up during the day. The main bedroom and living room flow out to the back deck, for outdoor eating and relaxing. With 2 bathrooms and three bedrooms, the house comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests. The kitchen is well appointed with good quality cooking utensils, and there is plenty of space to store your food in the pantry.

The open fire place adds character and warmth. A few tips for guests who are not familiar with open fires, are to start with several rolled up sheets of newspaper, some fire lighters, and small sticks. Build the fire slowly, stacking wood to ensure air flow. Set the fire to the back of the fire place to avoid it from smoking. Once alight, it will really add to the rustic experience. You can always look up YouTube if you need further help!

Please note, If you are looking for an upmarket house with bling, this is not the house for you. It appeals to guests who like an earthy and character filled house. Also, please be aware that during spring, the gum trees drop pollen, which may cause allergies, in which case you can take an anti-histamine purchased form the Bawley Point chemist.

The house is in walking distance to three divine beaches. Grab a coffee from Flo's coffee van, south of Gannet Beach, buy the best sour dough bread from Lagom Bakery (next to the fish shop) at Burrill Lake. Ride your Mountain Bike on the Ulladulla MTB track and grab a pie for Hayden's pies on your way home. Take the kids or do some laps/gym at the Aquatic Centre at Bateman's Bay. Walk along the beaches or find a track in the National Park.

    It was just what you want in a holiday house. Super clean and considered items included. A little track through to the beach is so close and another bush track through to the beach in the north. We saw a wombat heading through on our night ramble. Lots of whales slapping their tales and breaching right off the rocks. Outdoor shower. All fabulous. would be great to have 'bring sheets' included in the check-in message because I really had to dig deep to find that message. Overall, great experience.

    the place is fundamentally very nice but really not suited for winter as it is at present . The main issue is there is no heating except for a fire place . Although this is nice it does not heat the main room and does not reach the main bedroom . It needs either a proper wood heater with fan and an additional heater for the bedroom . The other main issue was the keys were not in the key box . We were lucky to catch the agent in japan and she directed us to a second hidden set of keys - it could have ended badly

    Loved the 70s design and vibe, the bush outlook and proximity to beaches and Flo's caravan. The house has everything we needed except a bread knife (we managed). Luckily I had read the fine print to bring sheets etc. Lockbox was empty on arrival, but thanks to a quick response to our cry for help, we were able to locate key under doormat.

    The house is a beach shack as was very common a few decades ago, but are now often replaced by more modern houses. Personally I enjoy such a simple place. Sitting on the back deck enjoying the sounds of nature was what I will remember most (although the cicadas are sometimes almost too loud). The missus noticed that not all kitchen utensils were perfectly clean.

    Comfortable cottage with welcoming rustic charm. Close to beach and Bawley Point Shopping Centre so no need to travel to Ulladulla during stay. Coffee from Luci's Cafe Bawley Point great, coffee, sour dough and pastry from Logum Bakery exceptional. Will be happy to stay here again and for longer time. Kim

    I had a gorgeous weekend away with my partner and two friends. The house was perfect for four people, though there were extra beds. Lovely fire place and well-equipped kitchen. Great location close to the beach but also amongst the trees.

    Well appointed property with great atmosphere and feel. Peaceful and private with very short walk to the beach. Even had tasteful art on the walls. Would definitely rent this property again in the future. Wonderful!

    We loved this cozy cottage in Bawley Point. Located in a very quiet street, surrounded by trees and birds. The house has everything you need and a real “holiday” feel from the start. It is so beautiful to have a fire by night too. Lots of room for a big family, though we only had 3 people with us. Hosts are lovely and the place was set up perfectly with lots of firewood to boot. We love Bawley Point and stay for a week each year, we would love to come back to this house again as our regular stay!
