About this property

"The Hideaway", a handcrafted beach shack with modernist sensibilities.

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.

Good place to explore the Bawley Point area

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.

Attending family celebration in Termeil

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

Charming and cosy accommodation

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.

Perfect little beach getaway

I absolutely loved staying here. The property has a very remote backyard and the house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. It's simple (as the description states) but great for a family getaway

A perfect cozy stay

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!

Great family getaway

A wonderful spot for a family getaway. Great backyard for the kids with BBQ area and deck, with games + Netflix. Instructions were well set out and everything we needed was in the house when we arrived. The neighbourhood was very quiet and peaceful, with a variety of beaches and walks nearby.

The authentic beach shack youve been waiting for!

Reminiscent of a mid-century, handcrafted beach shack with modernist sensibilities whilst tipping its hat to its Australian roots. We couldnt get enough of this place. Mornings were heralded by the dozens of bird species waking up in the wetlands. Afternoons were spent playing games in the cosy living room and in the evenings we enjoyed a fire or two even though it was January. Thank you Liz.

Quirky beach-house with everything you need

The house worked well for family with three teenage girls, particularly with two bathrooms. Wifi was appreciated. The new washing machine and dryer were useful. Kitchen was well provisioned. Vacuum cleaner didn’t work.

Very nice!

Had a fantastic weekend stay at the hideaway! The location was perfect with short walking distance to two different beaches. The house is very cute and homey vibes and we appreciated the addition of monopoly and other games. The backyard and trees are very beautiful however this does come with the downside of a lot of mosquitoes ( definitely would recommend bringing repellent). The house itself was quite clean, except for the kitchen’s fridge and microwave which hadn’t been cleaned out. Overall however would recommend :)

Location was very good.

location was really good, very close to beach. The property was clean however, it could do with a good dusting, especially in and around lounge area. The driveway/ entry into the property is not the best, especially if it has been raining for several days. Only one deck chair provided for outside, property can do with more outdoor chairs or suitable outdoor furniture setting.
