About this house rental
Nestled on the foreshore of Callala Bay and overlooking the pristine waters of Jervis Bay, you will be delighted with this Spanish style beach house that is designed with comfort in mind.
Once you arrive you won't want to leave. Enjoy a swim only a few metres from your back door and then sit back on the deck enjoying watching the kids play on the reserve. Watch pods of dolphins that are often seen swimming amongst the boats moored in the bay. In the colder months pick a few sticks from the reserve and light the cosy open fire indulging in warmth whilst still enjoying the amazing views from the living areas.
A well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher and coffee machine. The house has 3 bathrooms, a washing machine and a dryer.
This property is absolute beach reserve. There is so much to do in the area, taking day trips to wineries at Coolangatta, Kangaroo Valley and Berry. Take the local ferry from Myola to Huskisson for markets and dolphin watch cruises. Explore the local National Parks, launch your boat from the ramp or do a spot of fishing from the jetty. Surf beaches are close by or a short drive to Callala Beach with its gentle waves for lazing about. Callala Bay shopping centre caters for your needs with an IGA, butcher, chemist and cafe. There is also a hardware store for all your fishing requirements including fishing licenses. There is also a golf course close by.

Nice stay
Very relaxing birthday weekend for extended family. Suited all ages in our group from 10-84. Quiet, waterfront, great views, walk straight out the back gate and onto the bayside reserve. The house itself is spacious and a great traditional design.
3.0 / 5.0
House at nice location overdue for spring clean and renovation
Positives:
Beautiful location with amazing view and nice outdoor area. 4 well sized bedrooms, nice fireplace for cold days and good kitchen appliances. All kitchen basics were also provided (oil, salt, coffee etc).
Negatives (a lot so I’ll try to keep it short):
Literally every room had some insects nesting in the corners. Mostly spider webs with dead flys and mosquitoes hanging in the middle of them. Lots of uncleaned surfaces throughout the house. We stayed during a bad weather event with lots of rain and some wind (nothing too crazy for australia I have to say). Windows and roof had water leaks and we lost power to some of the power points. The power issue was resolved within a few hours thanks to the swift response of the property manager (really another positive, these guys did seem to care and were responsive). Some lights outside were never working which I assume is due to some fundamental electrical issues at this property. Outdoor area has some shade sails hanging over the bbq area. They were banging in the wind non stop which was quite annoying especially at night time. Furniture in the house (especially in living area) should have been replaced ages ago. Lot’s of stains on carpet, sofas and cushions.
One other positive, the property manager did offer to send some cleaning personnel after we flagged the cleanliness issue. Considering we were more or less in the house full time with a baby and a toddler we decided not to have any cleaning people coming. This house needs a full spring clean an renovation. Not something that’s done in a couple of hours. Most water taps in the house are also leaking. There is a some mould already building up in the vanity downstairs due to constant water leaking.
All in all a very disappointing stay. Certainly not a luxury experience as advertised on Stayz.

AMAZING HOME... but needs a thorough clean
The location, the property is on point. This house is extremely gorgeous! But unfortunately for us, it was quite dirty. Cobwebs everywhere, the kitchen was dirty. I had to spend the first hour cleaning the kitchen.
The gas also ran out on the 3rd day as such we couldn’t Heat or cook.
I have an investigation pending to some our issues, therefore I will leave it at that.

Wet weekend at Callala Bay
There are many doors to the deck and courtyard.
It took me nearly an hour to sort out which of the three keys opened which door.
It would help if there was a tag for each key to indicate which door. I did not know that the large key inside in the basket was different to the key in the lock box.
I tried to open doors to the deck with the small key to the gate and the BBQ; so frustrating I called the property manager, who called the housekeeper, who came and was helpful.
There was heavy rain, so much so that there were water leaks in a number of places. There was quite a lot of leakage in the triple bedroom, and some from the upper level to the hallway to the main bathroom at the lower level.
When we were clearing up on the day of departure, and using the dishwasher, the circuit breaker tripped. As the fuse box was locked, we had to leave the dishwasher full of dirty dishes. We advised the property manager of this problem.
The outlook of the property is splendid, and the layout suited 5 adults and 3 teenagers on a special occasion.
The weather was most unkind; I believe there was 130 mm of rain over the weekend at Jervis Bay. The BBQ worked well for us.
Thank you, and regards,
David Watson

Great direct access to the beach, plenty of parking out the front. Stayed with my family and there was heaps of room for us all and the kitchen was well setup for preparing kids meals.

Great escape
Izba is in a fantastic location with a beautiful outlook.
The only disappointment was the fireplace does not draw well - smoke entered the main living area. Could do with a few more wine glasses. Otherwise a great holiday residence with a nice feel about it. .

Beautiful location
House was spacious and views as per the photos, beautiful location, close to the beach and walking track. Bathrooms clean with fresh towels, linen fresh on the beds. However the house was very dusty and the lounges are stained, needs a good spring clean to freshen it up. Would still recommend the property .
5.0 / 5.0
Relaxation at its best
A great place to sit back, take in a beautiful view, & sit by a warm crackling awesome indoor fireplace .We also found the property to be quite kid friendly. The beach was great to walk. Overall great property in a great location!

What a view!
We are a family of 4 with children aged 11 and 10. We all loved our stay. The house was overly spacious for us and there were rooms we didn’t even enter. But we loved the location with easy water access for our kayaks and catamaran. The bike track starts at the doorstep. And whenever we needed downtime there was ample space for relaxing indoor and outdoors. The view was an absolute highlight and was wonderful to watch from morning to dusk.
The house itself was very well kitted out. The shops in Callala are nearby and have everything you need for provisions. And there’s a few dining options. We found the club at Callala Beach was the best for us.
We are very keen to return to a Callala Bay and would very happily stay at Izba again.

Magnificent location. The house was perfect for relaxing and family time together.
Disappointed in cleanliness in certain areas though.
Gauze dirty and some windows. Broom for sweeping floors needs replacing.....it was old and filthy.
Bulbs needed replacing.....only one operating in kitchen. Called maintenance and was fixed for us. Lounge and bedroom bulbs however did not get replaced while we were there.

Terrific House!!
Beautifully organised house, with amazing communal areas, both indoors and outdoors.
Bedrooms were spacious, and clean, with comfortable beds. Kitchen was amazing, with great fridge and freezer space, all the utensils and appliances we needed. Outside bbq and patio was where we spent most our time, and it was awesome. Great customer care, as we forgot an ipad, which got promptly returned when we realised and was found. Beautiful views and amazing sounds of the waves from the patio. Totally enjoyed our stay, wouldnt hesitate to go back.
