Tallowood beachfront cottage

STRAIGHT ACROSS BEACH
The cottage is located on the corner of Rodley Street and Beach Street. Rainbow beach, Bonny Hill's main patrolled beach, is straight across the road. Unleashed dog friendly beach is diagonally across the road across Vinegar Creek. Put on your cosies, walk 10 steps and off you go! How good is this?! Watch the kids play in the playground diagonally across the road while you chill on the deck.

MODERNISED BEACH COTTAGE
The cottage has recently received some needed TLC to restore it to its former glory and add some of today's standards such as dishwasher, airco, WIFI yet preserving its original character. It has an open plan living and pleasant beach vibe.
This is one of three traditional cottages and the last one standing in Bonny Hills. The cottage has been used by many families from inland NSW and the city from the 1950's onwards to holiday on the coast. Back then Bonny Hills was only reachable by dirt road.

ROOMS, BATH AND BEDS SLEEPS 2 to 6 GUESTS
Great stay for couples, two couples or a family.
Two bedrooms (queen beds), one main bathroom inside, extra toilet outside and second traditional shower in separate laundry building. BEDS: master bedroom with queen bed, second bedroom with queen bed and single bed.

LARGE YARD
Green lawns surround the cottage with native plants decorating the borders. The beach is your front lawn.

PET FRIENDLY
Furry friends are welcome. Ideally outside dogs or well trained smaller inside dogs. Pets to be kept off furniture and beds, at night pets can sleep inside at back hallway or in the laundry. Please just chat to us about your needs and kindly inform us about the type of pet. Thank you! The side yard and back patio are fully enclosed.

BE OUR GUEST
This cottage is almost too good to be true, located near the Big4 holiday park yet more privacy and plenty of your own space. Similar standards and experience can be expected as other properties in the mySOLscape family.

Ok but a bit expensive
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)

Unbeatable beach location
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.

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!

Perfect beach cottage
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.

Beautiful Beach Property
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.
