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.

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.

Disappointing
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.
