Sandalwood – a 15-minute to to Penguins Head Road

Sandalwood is a 15-minute scenic drive seaward from Nowra that brings you to Penguins Head Road, Culburra Beach. There you will find yourself on an elevated headland, flanked by two patrolled beaches only metres away. Just step outside your front door and a short stroll past neighbouring villas will bring you to sheltered Tilbury Cove on Culburra Beach, which stretches all the way north to Crookhaven Heads. Equally, a short walk across the road will take you to Warrain Beach, which runs all the way south to Beecroft Peninsula.

After a day exploring the many delightful spots and activities that the locality offers, from the balcony of this 3-bedroom villa you can enjoy filtered views of the ocean set against the backdrop of the magnificent Illawarra Range. You can relax around the outdoor setting, soaking in the sunshine or preparing your meals on the Weber bbq provided.

Sandalwood is a bright, sunny and fresh villa that will accommodate up to six people. The villa is fully equipped with a dishwasher; an automatic washing machine/dryer, LCD-TV, DVD, CD player, master bedroom ensuite and a secure off-street twin garage and space for two additional cars.

An abundance of beautiful locations and an array of waterways are within easy reach of your villa. They include Crookhaven River/Curleys Bay, the mighty Shoalhaven River, Wollumboola Lake, and our national treasure, Jervis Bay Marine Park. At your very doorstep, there is something for everybody; whether it's surfing, swimming, fishing, rockpool-hopping, push-bike riding or just plain relaxing. There is also a grassy knoll and picnic area at the foot of a private stairway leading to the cove and an adjoining park containing playground and picnic facilities.

For dining out, there are a number of cafes and eateries where you can enjoy refreshments. There is also the local Bowling and Recreation Club which includes a Chinese restaurant. After enjoying the ambiance of Sandalwood, you will certainly return from your break feeling fully refreshed and wanting to come back, again and again.

The parking for this Villa is a double garage, no cars are to be parked outside of the garage on the common area. Any extra cars that do not fit in the garage must be parked off the premises.

Noise at Properties: NSW Planning has passed laws that affect guests. The Code of Conduct for holiday renting can be found on our website under the Guest Information tab. In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties. This means guests have to be very mindful of noise made in or outside the property that can disrupt neighbours at any time of the day. If you or any other guest receives a warning regarding excess noise or excess guests, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund of monies. Noise audible outside the property is prohibited.

Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.

No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.

Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.

Security Deposit: For most bookings, completion of our registration process and a valid credit card with a $1000 available limit is sufficient for the security deposit. For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.

Peace of Mind: For your added security, this property is managed by a Licensed Real Estate Agent. We will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held safely in our Trust Account until after your departure.

Excellent coastal getaway
Place was very neat and tidy although a little aged, all amenities were provided. Water pressure and hot water for showers excellent. Private stair access direct to the beach/rock pools and a small lawn with table and benches makes it very accessible for rock fishing or lunch by the water.

Great location but needs an air conditioner and shade on the deck.
Great location but needs some maintenance and address the westerly aspect with shed and air conditioning. Once addressed this would be a great property for a summer beach holiday...

Not great value for the price
The description makes it sound as if the property is just perched on the water's edge. Not so. There are several ugly buildings between you are the ocean, not to mention a steep staircase down a short cliff face. Unfortunately the building itself is cheaply constructed and has poor insulation, so on a hot day the living space really heats up, even with the fans on full blast. Have booked other properties through this website and found them to be great value. This one - not so much.

Family getaway
Just what we needed for two little families. Absolutely ideal location with great access to beaches and rock pools, as well as the park just a few doors down. Well set up and clean and tidy, with plenty of toys books and play/beach toys in the garage to. Definitely needed the portable electric heaters because It was July, but they worked well for the whole house. The railing on the stairs inside does need addressing as it's a bit loose, but that's quite a small thing. We'll be tempted to come back again as we enjoyed it so much.

Lots of hair on the carpet, kids were constantly finding long hair on toys etc. Overhead fans in lounge room didn't work, most tv channels not receiving picture, Nice place and good location but the lack of cleanliness was offputting.
