The Special House has a unique, wabi sabi informed design approach and features thoughtfully curated vintage pieces. Facing north and receiving light all day, this intimate retreat is a short stroll from the waterfront, cafes, restaurants and shops. Just 75 minutes from Sydney CBD, it's perfect for a weekend getaway or holiday. More about The Special House... Built in the 1940s, The Special House is a charming original fisherman’s cottage updated with modern comforts and a unique design. The space has a fully equipped kitchen featuring shou sugi ban cabinetry, reverse cycle air conditioning (for both cooling and heating), an outdoor shower and a purpose built brick BBQ for cooking over fire. The place features artfully curated materials and vintage furniture, sourced with sustainability in mind. The master bedroom has a king sized bed with a premium Ecosa mattress and luxurious French flax linen bedding. The windows look out to the private garden which features two huge gum trees providing beautifully dappled morning light. The sunroom features two daybeds that catch the afternoon warmth. For family bookings the two daybeds are prepared as beds with full linens to comfortably sleep two children. The kitchen has been hand built, featuring the Japanese shou sugi ban technique. It’s a chef’s kitchen and a delight to cook in. Guests can pick from our small herb garden to use in cooking - parsley, basil, thyme, Tuscan kale, rosemary, chives, oregano and more. The lounge room has an extra large and ultra comfortable couch - relax with a good book, chill out with music or take a nap. The daybed can comfortably sleep a third child. The home has Bluetooth speakers and a record player, as well as a small projector for watching movies. The house has a north facing, covered patio with outdoor dining and two deck chairs. It’s perfect for alfresco living, dining and relaxing day and night.. There is also a brick BBQ with various cooking options. We provide wood and charcoal for cooking over fire, or in the small pizza oven. For easy outdoor cooking, there is a dual butane cooker that get going at the flick of a switch. Our lawns are a work in progress, but the small private garden has plenty of light, shade and privacy. This is our quaint coastal holiday home which we continually work on and improve, and we’re happy to share it with you. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Hardwood flooring in public areas - In-room accessibility - No lift - Single level property - Step to reach entrance - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![Studio Suite (Hinterland View - Weekly Housekeeping) | Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1250000/1240300/1240241/e7839252.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mantra Ettalong Beach Ettalong Beach - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.4 Very good 2,465 reviews £102 includes taxes & fees 20 Oct - 21 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=1240241&PinnedHotelID=1240241&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74810000/74803900/74803892/662e28b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seashells at Umina Beach Umina Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=74803892&PinnedHotelID=74803892&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104190000/104181200/104181199/083dfc07.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Yoga Retreat - Walking distance to Umina Beach Umina Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=104181199&PinnedHotelID=104181199&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107330000/107326000/107325948/aed90f0f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### FantaSea In Ettalong Beach - 700m to Beach 3 bedrooms 6 Guests 4 Beds 2 Baths Ettalong Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 7.4 Good 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=107325948&PinnedHotelID=107325948&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111950000/111948500/111948422/e526b7ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kookaburra Cottage 5 mins to beaches, national park, cafe's on the Central Coast Bensville - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Parking available 10 Exceptional 21 reviews £140 includes taxes & fees 9 Oct - 10 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=111948422&PinnedHotelID=111948422&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38250000/38249100/38249014/970a2911.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### MODERN LUXURY! 2B2B Apt, Water view, Location For work or relaxation.
