After a day of beach-combing and sunbathing, rinse off the salt and sand in the outdoor shower before you relax in the comfort of your beachfront paradise.

We had 3 generations and everyone was well catered for and kept entertained. Would highly recommend. ##### Beatrice C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah R. 16 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Absolutely beautiful location and wonderful property. We had a winter getaway here with extended family (6 adults, a 7 year old and 10 week old baby) and 2 dogs. The house was clean, cosy and had every amenity you could think of. Leonie had thought of everything you could need/want including games, books, smart TV (with all major streaming services/apps) kitchen supplies, first aid kit, torches, dog supplies, toiletries, laundry powder, beach toys, sports supplies for the kids, portable cot, hot water bottles, extra warm blankets etc.The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and check in, check out etc. was easy. Beds and couches were comfy and there was table space enough to fit us all for lunch and dinner.The view is incredible. Truly beautiful, with the beach literally steps from the back deck. We saw dolphins, sting rays, pelicans, plovers, kangaroos and more. The 7 y.o loved playing on the beach and building sandcastles (again with toys the host supplied which was very appreciated).The off leash dog hours on the beach and gentle waves were great (part of the reason we picked Callala) and our dogs loved swimming and running around there as much as we did.We loved the house and the location and will definitely be booking and staying here again. ##### Hannah R.
