Callala Beach area:
Callala Beach is an easy 2 1/2 hour drive south of Sydney and 3 hours from Canberra. It is one of the last sleepy coastal villages with friendly locals, surrounded marine park and national parks.
Callala Beach is renowned for its 4km stretch of beautiful white sand & clear blue waters and is a favourite spot for resident pods of dolphins and migrating whales. Nature is abundant, kangaroo spotting or bird watching with the wake up calls of kookaburras, rosellas and sea eagles. Bring your kayaks for the beach or creek, fishing rods for the rock platform from the beach, snorkelling, sailing, boogie-boarding, boat riding, and cycling, are all popular activities. Catch the ferry to Huskisson for ice cream, fish and chips or a delicious pub lunch.
There are two boat ramps in close proximity, Myola (5min drive) and Callala Bay (5min drive).
The Callala Beach RSL is a great, kid-friendly meeting place with a cheap and cheerful menu, and a 9 hole golf course where you can see Kangaroos.
5 mins drive away, Callala Bay offers Italian and Chinese restaurants, IGA, butcher, bakery, and coffee shop.

Location was great. House clean and tidy work well stocked kitchen appliances and utensils. Everything we needed. Loved the coffee machine. Plenty of games to play. Great sitting on the front verandah anytime of day. Lovely shady tree in front yard. Yards very well fenced for our dog. And good sized back yard.The only thing that could be better was the oven took longer than expected. Door may not close properly.
This is a lovely house thats a short walk to the beautiful and calm beach. On the Verge is child and pet-friendly, with a secure back and front yard, swing, trampoline, little cubby house.We had such a relaxing and lovely stay. We'll be back!
Everything you could need- great property, short walk from the beach, and lots of little extra touches. Plenty for the kids to do- my son was devastated we had to leave!
Loved our stay here with family & kids aged 4-8. Short walk to kid-friendly beach. Quiet streets for bike riding. Little cafe down the road. Everything in the kitchen we needed to cook meals. Family friendly eat-out options within walking distance. Convenient beds set up. Great outdoor space/backyard. Trampoline. Good entertainment options. Off street parking for multiple vehicles - short drive to all your other Jervis Bay highlights. Suzanne was super helpful and responsive - check in was easy. We booked this place last minute and it had everything to make our weekend a really enjoyable, stress-free getaway.
We had a wonderful week's stay at On The Verge. The short walk to the beach made it extra special. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The yard was excellent for our two Miniature Schnauzers with secure fencing all around.
Great house only few steps to the beach, nice hot outside shower after beach swim. Kids enjoyed the backyard and trampoline. Secure backyard for fury friends
I have stayed at this property many times it is such a great break, always clean and a well appointed kitchen. If you’re looking for relaxing break with your dogs you can not go wrong
A great family and dog friendly getaway close to the beach. Suzanne was very accomodating with our extra dogs which I greatly appreciate.We all had a wonderful time and made some lovely memories.The house was very comfortable and met our expectation.We enjoyed the puzzles and games especially naughts and crosses.We did note the toilet in the main bathroom is loose at the base and may need attention. Many thanks for your hospitality.
Quiet, comfortable, reasonably priced and beach idyllic as always, plus owners go out of their way to be accommodating and flexible. We are regulars and will keep coming back
Lovely old cottage at Callala Beach……if you’re after a quiet getaway by the sea with your Dog this little cottage offers it all. Comfortable beds, great location, only a short walk to a Dog friendly beach, secure yard and the odd rabbit to watch while you relax on the bench out the front……prime location allowing you to explore beautiful Jervis Bay.
This cute property was a smaller property but with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beds were very comfy, large yard for dogs, grandkids loved the trampoline and the board games.
We enjoyed our stay, we found the ferry was expensive especially for a family group, probably best to drive
We settled in very quickly - a real home away from home - with everything that you need. We had a very relaxing stay with lots of reading, eating and great walks along the beach. Our little dog was secure in the yard and it was great being able to bring her on holidays with us - she really enjoyed her first visit to the beach. The house is in a great location and we would love to stay again.
We had the most amazing stay at On the verge. Suzanne was the best host allowing us to have an extra night and also accommodating with a late check out. We cannot wait to stay again and have already recommended to family and friends
