Rainbow Beach, Bonny Hills’ main patrolled beach, is right across the road. The off-leash dog-friendly beach is diagonally opposite, just across Vinegar Creek. Slip on your sandals, take 10 steps, and you’re there! How good is that?! Watch the kids play at the playground diagonally across the street while you relax on the deck. MODERNISED BEACH COTTAGE The cottage has recently received some much-needed TLC to restore it to its former glory while adding modern comforts such as a dishwasher, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, all while retaining its original charm. It features open-plan living with a relaxed, coastal beach vibe. This is one of three original beach shacks — and the last one still standing in Bonny Hills. The cottage has hosted many families from inland NSW and Sydney since the 1950s for their coastal getaways. Back then, Bonny Hills was only accessible by dirt road! ROOMS, BATHROOMS & BEDS — Sleeps 2 to 6 guests Perfect for couples, two couples, or a family. Two bedrooms (both with queen-size beds) Main bathroom inside Extra toilet outside Traditional second shower located in a separate laundry building Beds: Bedroom 1 – Queen bed Bedroom 2 – Queen bed + 1 single bed LARGE YARD Green lawns surround the house, with native plants along the borders. The beach is literally your front lawn! PET FRIENDLY Furry friends are welcome! Ideally suited to outdoor dogs or smaller, well-behaved indoor dogs. Pets must stay off furniture and beds. At night, pets can sleep inside the back hallway or in the laundry. Just chat with us about your needs and let us know what type of pet you’re bringing. Thank you! The side and back yard are fully fenced. BE OUR GUEST This beach cottage is almost too good to be true — located close to the Big4 Holiday Park, yet offering more privacy and plenty of your own space. Expect the same high standards and experience as other mySOLscape family properties. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a zoo - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 753 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45520000/45511500/45511461/6e9f7869.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Salt Breeze - upstairs only Lake Cathie - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=45511461&PinnedHotelID=45511461&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34670000/34665400/34665364/d8b5c0f4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Flynn's Beach House - surfing/fishing/walking/cycling in a quiet street Port Macquarie - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=34665364&PinnedHotelID=34665364&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/55000000/54180000/54171900/54171819/4b9ea054.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bonny Beach House - Accommodation with Pool 350 Metres To Rainbow Beach Bonny Hills - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 7.2 Good 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=54171819&PinnedHotelID=54171819&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39040000/39040000/39039932/2c407252.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Paradise - 820 Ocean Drive Bonny Hills BONNY HILLS - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=39039932&PinnedHotelID=39039932&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106460000/106450600/106450558/w1200h799x0y3-c00ed575.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family and pet friendly home close to beach, lake, shops and town centre.
