The Palings at Culburra - Pet Friendly Masterpiece
2022 Award Winner - Legend Award for Longest Time with PHH
With glass doors opening out to pet friendly front and rear gardens The Palings is filled with light and fresh breezes sweeping off the nearby ocean.
From elevated decks with stunning views, you can choose to relax on the outdoor lounge and listen to the waves crash or maybe you’ll sip a glass of wine from the papasan chairs on the back veranda whilst you watch the sun set over the distant mountains.
The back deck is the ideal spot to launch a ball to the dog, read a book from the library or to watch the children play in the fully secure garden. Or maybe you’ll just keep it all to yourself whilst you watch the sunset turn to the most magnificent display of the Milky Way you’ve ever seen.
When you do come inside your only difficulty will be deciding how to relax. Maybe kick back on the couch and enjoy a DVD, Netflix or Stan on the big screen TV – or maybe kick back to some old school vinyl on the record player. If some tunes outside is more your style there's a rechargeable Bluetooth speaker that you can take anywhere in the house. Whilst the kids and the dog play you can be busy uploading your amazing holiday photos using the complimentary unlimited wifi. On the upper deck dad can show off his culinary skills on the full outdoor kitchen (complete with BBQ and fridge) before the family gathers around the big outdoor tables to laugh, tell tales and enjoy a memorable feast.
When it’s finally time to hit the hay, you’ll find 4 bedrooms with mattresses as soft as clouds, warm showers and bath and extra pillows and blankets if you need them. Upstairs you'll find two couches that convert to double beds.
Ceiling fans for summer and heaters for winter will keep you so comfortable that you won’t want to get up the next day. But you’ll already know from our exclusive guidebook that there are so many things to see and do in the Culburra & Jervis Bay area – from where to shop and where to dine out to in-the-know local knowledge of the area’s “hidden secrets” that you’ll want to jump out of bed and explore.
But before you head out for the day be sure to enjoy a lazy holiday breakfast on the back deck where you can fry up a feast on the second BBQ or inside in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen. For caffeine addicts, there is the bonus of a pod coffee machine with complimentary pods.
Holidays are precious and memories are forever. We invite you to make beautiful family memories with us at The Palings.

This lovely property is well-equipped with towels, linen, kitchen gear, laundry, puzzles, and games. Well suited to visitors from interstate and overseas. The slow combustion stove was very nice during the cooler days and nights. Garden was great and would make a good place for summertime relaxing.

We had a fantastic weekend ! plenty of room for a few people to relax away from the crowd, as we are a family of 14. very well equipped in the kitchen and entertainment requirements. Unfortunately the weather was cold and rainy so being outdoors wasn’t possible, there wasn’t any fire wood in in the wood storage area,we did buy our own & the wood fire warmed the house ,the house has a great atmosphere!
Everyone wants to go back again

This is a great sized house for a large family and is pet friendly. It is very convenient to the beach and a nice walk to local shops with a kids playground close by.
Unfortunately, it appears to have seen too many guests and not enough maintenance. Lawns not mown, lights, stove, door handles, privacy locks and sliding screen doors either broken, inoperable or missing really let this place down. We received notice of the stove not working whilst on route from Sydney. The stove remained broken for our entire stay and we were cooking for ten. We can understand the difficulties of repairs during a public holiday but with so many defects found during our stay we can only assume this particular place is in need of a refurb. It is a shame because it could easily be returned to its former glory.

This place was great. It's gorgeous inside and out, and only 2 minutes to the beach.
We went with our 2 kids, both under 4, and some friends. We had enough space for the kids to run amok, as well as for the adults to retreat from the chaos.
The main thing that impressed us was how well stocked the kitchen was! No blunt knives or searching for enough tea mugs here. It was a friction-free and very comfortable stay.

Once again we have had a wonderful weekend at The Pailings Culburra Beach. This is the third stay and our family loved being back! Our Mum who is 92 years can spend the day with us for Saturday and Sunday lunch then return to the nursing home after, it has easy access for her and a great relaxing area for those who are just needing a quiet place for a while ! The Kitchen is very well equipped ! And the back yard is great for kids ! Thank you Stayz

The booking and confirmation process was very simple even though we were just out of lockdown. The property was as advertised, close to beautiful culburra beach and well stocked with wet weather games . Great for a family getaway

The house, the location and the village were well defined. On arrival our house had not been cleaned for some time with wet linen left in piles, dirty toilets and dirty sheets. A call to the contact number had a cleaner there within two hours but necessitated our large group finding a dry place to eat complete with two babies, other young children and a dog. Even after cleaning, beds and cloth lounges smelt musty and a few allergies surfaced. All of that said the house is lovely and despite heavy. Rain, we had a good time. It was a very special birthday with a few hiccups. We received an apology but no mention of our extra expense and lost celebrations.

Although it was a animal friendly house and we did not have any animals come with us, the house was not professionally cleaned at all. In fact it was so dirty I could not wait to leave. We could barely stay there as I just did not feel comfortable at all, I had to sleep on top of my beach towels, the kitchen was infested with cockroaches. I thought this would of been a home where we could relax once we got back from the beach but found myself just wanting to get out and just having it as a place to sleep and that's it. I totally understand that's it's a pet friendly home but I would of thought it would be even more clean because of that. Animal hair everywhere dog beds in wardrobes, under the beds were so dust it had balls of dust old bottle tops even. Sorry to have such a bad review but totally not what I thought.

Beautiful and well-designed, spacious house. There is plenty of room, inside and out, to sit with others during the day or find a quiet corner to read a book. We loved the roomy and well-equipped kitchen and the airy feel of the house.

Lots of room, plenty to do, nice bathrooms, great for dogs, very close to beach, only place that has supplied sheets and towels in the price that I have been too. Would have liked a tv upstairs not everyone likes the same shows or games. But that is only us. You have certainly got a great supply of extras in the pantry. Loved the place would be back.

All of the family agree The Palings is a wonderful property to enjoy for our annual holiday even in poor weather as there is a vast ray of games to play, books to read and Netflix and Stan. Everyone was happy!!! The house is a stone's throw from the surf beach and handy to shops. A great time was had by all.
