Tallowood beachside cottage
RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD
The beach house sits on the corner of Rodley Street and Beach Street. Rainbow Beach, Bonny Hills’ main patrolled beach, is right across the road. The off-leash dog-friendly beach is diagonally opposite, just across Vinegar Creek. Slip on your sandals, take 10 steps, and you’re there! How good is that?! Watch the kids play at the playground diagonally across the street while you relax on the deck.
MODERNISED BEACH COTTAGE
The cottage has recently received some much-needed TLC to restore it to its former glory while adding modern comforts such as a dishwasher, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, all while retaining its original charm. It features open-plan living with a relaxed, coastal beach vibe.
This is one of three original beach shacks — and the last one still standing in Bonny Hills. The cottage has hosted many families from inland NSW and Sydney since the 1950s for their coastal getaways. Back then, Bonny Hills was only accessible by dirt road!

The cottage is located opportune beach and has a ramp from the front deck to the grass providing exclusive access to beach. The cottage is lovely with just enough honey touches without being too cluttered. Thanks for the great stay!

What a great location right opposite the beach. The property was the perfect beach house as it had everything you needed & was relaxed enough not to be worried about having the dog there or coming in with sandy feet. We loved it so much we rebooked.
A cosy beach shack across the road from the beach with beach views and stroll to cafe and pub.
The second bedroom was cramped with bedding for four people with no shelves or storage for personal belongings - but it was a comfortable stay for two people.
We stayed for one night at Tallowood on the way to pick up our new pup, jack russell terrier, Celeste! We had our Great Dane with us. To say that we enjoyed Tallowood would be a massive understatement! The place had everything we could ask for and more! The beach was literally across the road and dog friendly! We will be returning for sure!! Cannot recommend Tallowood highly enough!!
Excellent location, especially for pet owners as it is close to the off leash beach. Plenty fantastic walks around and just a short drive to many scenic places.
Absolutely loved this place! Beautiful location, but we really loved what's been done with the house. It felt spacious and we had everything we needed :)
We had a lovely stay with our dog Molly.Walked along the beach across the road every day. Property was clean and comfortable. Very relaxing few days,
Kaye Roy and Molly
Excellent location, surf breaks that meet every level of surfer or swimmer, friendly locals and a great stretch of pet friendly beach. Sitting on the front deck with a wine watching surf was a nice relaxing experience. Loved it.
Loved our stay at Tallowood. Straight across from the beach. Perfect position and so comfortable (and immaculately clean). Such a relaxing and beautiful place to unwind for a few days. Can’t wait to return. Five stars.
Great location, great support but it's not as clean as expected for the high fee, it can get hot and fan in main bedroom is tiny and noisy, a tower fan would be better (or ceiling)
Location is perfect. Super cute property with everything we needed for a few nights away. Dog friendly with gated front veranda overlooking beach and fenced rear yard. Great spot.
Wonderful, relaxing and quiet beach home. Beds are extremely comfortable, all modern appliances and proximity to the beach and Fat Fish Cafe is great.
Highly recommend a stay here.
Beautifully Renovated original beach cottage directly opposite the beach and dog friendly which for us was a big ++. Location was perfect for our short getaway. The cottage living space and kitchen are well equipped and perfect for a short stay. Main bedroom has a queen bed and second bedroom has a queen and bunks. Suggest suitable for 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids only. Due to Covid we didn’t get to experience the Fat Fish restaurant / Cafe or surf club across the road but plenty of options around the area. Definitely recommended. Paul and Karen (Newport)
WOW - what a fabulous location and wonderfully welcoming, and well styled cottage. We stayed with a family of 5 and had plenty of room, and all the comforts. Loved being able to stroll across the road to the beach, or just sit on the verandah and enjoy the breeze. Highly recommend!
