About this house rental
Derwent by the Sea is a perfect choice for families or couples looking for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. It is located in the tranquil village of Callala Bay in the Shoalhaven area, on the northern shores of Jervis Bay. Callala Bay is a fantastic holiday location. A pleasant 2-hour drive from Sydney and 3 hours from Canberra this area has it all; safe swimming, great walks, idyllic scenery and plenty of opportunities for fishing, boating, bike riding, dolphin spotting and photography.
The yard and garden area is a fully fenced safe area for children and pets, ideal for outdoor games. There are a BBQ and outdoor setting out the back - a wonderful spot for sitting back and relaxing with a glass of wine and a good book.
Spread out over two levels with the upper level having an open plan lounge/dining room and kitchen with dining table, 2 lounges, TV and DVD. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, electric stove and oven, fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, toaster and more.
Downstairs there is a combined bedroom/ living room with a second TV and DVD player. Bedroom and living is conveniently separated by curtains for guest privacy. The double garage has been converted to games area with Billiard table and darts. A second fridge is available to keep drinks cool while you enjoy a game with friends.
Derwent by the Sea is a 300 m stroll from Callala Bay. Visitors can follow the walking track along the spectacular Callala Bay Headland to the beautiful Callala Beach. The boat ramp is located a short drive from the house or bring the fishing gear and throw in a line off the Callala Bay wharf.
The local shops are just a 10-minute walk away and provide all you need for a relaxing coastal break. There is an IGA, a hot food takeaway, cafes, boutique/gift shop and bakery. There is even a day spa if you want to reward yourself with a massage or facial. You can also stop off on your way through, at Nowra Fresh and the Farmers Market to collect supplies. Callala Bay and Callala Beach also have a few lovely restaurants and cafes if you choose to dine out.
Nowra is only a 20-minute drive away. Berry is located slightly further afield and well worth a visit. Also, there are plenty of other pristine beaches to explore around Currarong, Culburra Beach or further down the coast in Jervis Bay. Beecroft Peninsula and the lighthouse at Point Perpendicular are also worth exploring.

Callala bay, Derwent By the Sea
This property was ideal for families, with a great space for the children downstairs to chill and Play, while the adults were upstairs enjoying there own space, which we shared with our infant babies. The only annoying thing about staying through stays was the constant msg’s the whole time we were away about the rules and reminders. We were not having a party, just a relaxing getaway with other family friends. However it almost felt like we were constantly being attacked or told off, when we were not doing anything wrong, I found this made it a little less relaxing. But overall it was a great location & Ideal house.
