Little Bay Cottage - 8 East Street, Arakoon

Guest Rating:

Sleeps 5, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. No pets allowed.

Arakoon, NSW 2431 Australia

Nestled quietly amongst the trees, you will find this charming two-bedroom cottage located
on the fringe of Arakoon National Park.

With Little Bay beach and picnic area at your back door and nearby attractions such as Trial
Bay Gaol, Laggers Point, and the Smoky Cape Lighthouse only a few minutes away, this is the
perfect escape for a weekend of bushwalking, fishing, swimming, and exploring.

The cottage boasts an open plan kitchen, dining, and lounge that spills out through glass
doors to the deck area. You can cook your dinner on the Gas BBQ while relaxing on the
deck.

The main bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom has 3 single beds consisting
of a set of bunks and a trundle. The bathroom features a separate toilet and the laundry is
located downstairs underneath the house with a washing machine and dryer.

This cottage is in the perfect position for a short hike across to Trial Bay Gaol via Monument
Hill walking track and finish the loop back via the Bridle Trail or Powder Magazine track.
Monument Hill is a haven for bird watchers with fantails, wrens, and honeyeaters fluttering
about while hawks, falcons, and ospreys soar above the cliffs and forage along the beaches.
Also, at the right time of year, Little Bay is the perfect whale watching location.

Wildlife is in abundance in the area, however please ensure you keep your distance and
admire from afar. Feeding wildlife is strictly prohibited as it is detrimental to the health and
wellbeing of our precious fauna.

Please note that sheets and towels are not supplied but can be hired for an additional
fee by contacting our office. Strictly no pets are allowed on the property, as the property is
within Arakoon National Park.

Little Bay cottage is an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

    Great - always a pleasure to stay here. The house is very private and has a great location and everything you need for a stay - including an 1000 piece jigsaw when the rain arrived.

    a guest from Repton, NSW recommends this vacation rental

    The location is wonderful, can't be beaten for bush location so close to the beach.
    We came across many large cockroaches in the cabin. The main living areas where clean but the utensils, cooking ware and plates were grimy. I was surprised at the 9am check out, guests to put out the rubbish and bring bins to the curb on a Sunday night, dishes to be dried and put away and guests to supply own linen and soaps.. given there is a $130 cleaning fee.
    These things didn't take away from the beautiful surroundings and local walks. But it does seem a bit rich to ask guests to do all these things and checkout unusually early.

    Overall I would not hesitate to stay here again.

    Tom G from Mullumbimby, NSW recommends this vacation rental

    We have stayed here several times and this time was just as good. It's a basic but comfirtable cottage and the location is great, just a 5 minute walk to Littel Bay Beach and the headland walks and it is only a few minutes drive to town. The only complaint is the bad smell from the toilet, of urine, which we don;t think was cleaned prior to our arrival. Not ideal but otherwise we had a great stay.

    A great little cottage tucked away in the bush. Clean and comfortable with everything you need. I would definitely recommend it. However if you are interested in internet & TV maybe not the best choice.

    Great hide out tucked away in the national park with an easy walk to the beach and an easy drive into town in beautiful Southwest Rocks. And you can sneak a peek of the ocean from the verandah.

    Great location at Little Bay short stroll the the beach and 5 min drive into South West Rocks. Very clean basic little cabin. Be sure to pack all amenities including soap, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent and toilet paper as none provided. No mobile data reception in this location which is either a good or bad thing depending on your requirements.

    KAREN P from Warners bay, NOTAVAIL recommends this vacation rental

    We just experienced our best Christmas holiday ever. This is the perfect location! Nestled in nature with Koalas in the trees, Kangaroos on the grass and only a 3 minute walk to Little Bay Beach and bush walking tracks - this place is beautiful. The accommodation is quaint, comfortable and clean. There is a constant cool coastal breeze that cooled the house and kept it comfortable, there were also fans if required. Arakoon is just a short drive (or a comfortable walk) from south west rocks restaurants and shopping precinct. It is away from the hustle and bustle of this tourist town. The beautiful Trial bay is just around the corner, accessed by car or beautiful short bush walks. There is so much to do and enjoy in this region... I will definitely be back and would stay again at Little Bay Cottage, it was ideal for me and my two girls and our love of nature and the outdoors.
