Catherine Hill Bay is in Awabakal Country in the Hunter Valley Region of NSW. It was recently recognised for its outstanding beauty in the book "101 Best Australian Beaches". The heritage precinct of Catherine Hill Bay consists of less than 150 houses. Torodes was the original cottage hospital in the old town, which has been beautifully restored with all modern conveniences while retaining the retro character of years gone by. Across the road, the southern end of Catherine Hill Bay beach is patrolled from October to April. Recreational activities include swimming, surfing, fishing and coastal walks. The village is surrounded by National Parks and is a great base for bushwalking and bird watching. The beach across the road is dog friendly for the area north of the creek (which is 90% of the beach). Torodes is a fantastic base for exploring the Hunter Valley Region, including the expansive waterways of Lake Macquarie (minutes away), the thriving food and arts scene in Newcastle (40 minutes), and the Hunter Valley vineyards (1 hour).

The upstairs sunroom was great for watching the world go by and the downstairs verandah was perfect for drying off between swims.

The character of the place, the way it opens up to the garden, the shady and warm wrap around verandah, the light & air which flood the living spaces and the NE facing MBR make it super relaxing and happy. You really don’t have to leave the house to be in a position to absorb the feeling of having escaped. It is tasteful and thoroughly charming in a way that you can’t help but sink into holiday mode. With the patrolled area of the beach being literally a stroll across the road, dozens of walks and numerous golf courses around the area, we had plenty to keep us occupied. We will return again and again to enjoy the bliss of this house. ##### Fiona N. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan M.

The position right on the beach was great but it was also very hard to leave the charming house with the most beautiful garden that has so many hidden spots to sit in the sun or cool off with the sea breeze. The top balcony is also a special spot to enjoy watching the world go by and to check out the waves on the beach. ##### Megan M.

I highly recommend Torodes for a holiday destination, the house is very welcoming and so easy to relax in. Kitchen is great with all modern amenities, bedrooms are a good size with super comfy beds and lux linen. The verandah areas are fantastic and so is the fenced in garden. Then to top it off the beach is just across the road. Paul was excellent with his communication and very accommodating. We will be back, many thanks Paul ##### Mary Jane G.
