The closest cottage to Little Bay, located on the fringe of Little Bay...
Nestled quietly amongst the trees, you will find this charming two-bedroom cottage located on the fringe of Arakoon National Park.
With Little Bay beach and picnic area at your back door and nearby attractions such as Trial Bay Gaol, Laggers Point, and the Smoky Cape Lighthouse only a few minutes away, this is the perfect escape for a weekend of bushwalking, fishing, swimming, and exploring.
The cottage boasts an open plan kitchen, dining, and lounge that spills out through glass doors to the deck area. You can cook your dinner on the Gas BBQ while relaxing on the deck.
The main bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom has 3 single beds consisting of a set of bunks and a trundle. The bathroom features a separate toilet and the laundry is located downstairs underneath the house with a washing machine and dryer.
This cottage is in the perfect position for a short hike across to Trial Bay Gaol via Monument Hill walking track and finish the loop back via the Bridle Trail or Powder Magazine track. Monument Hill is a haven for bird watchers with fantails, wrens, and honeyeaters fluttering about while hawks, falcons, and ospreys soar above the cliffs and forage along the beaches. Also, at the right time of year, Little Bay is the perfect whale watching location.
Wildlife is in abundance in the area, however please ensure you keep your distance and admire from afar. Feeding wildlife is strictly prohibited as it is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of our precious fauna.
Please note that sheets and towels are not supplied but can be hired for an additional fee by contacting our office. Strictly no pets are allowed on the property, as the property is within Arakoon National Park.
Little Bay cottage is an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Don't forget to pack your swimmers, sun cream, snorkels and bug spray of course!

Little bay cottage
As advertised. Basic but functional with surprisingly well stocked kitchen utensils. Some ambient lighting in living area wouldn’t go astray i.e. a lamp or two.
