If you’re seeking a serene spot that’s walking distance to the centre of Batemans Bay, this modern three-bedroom Airbnb is well worth a look.

The open-plan living area is roomy and has the best north-facing windows that mean this NSW accommodation is flooded with light throughout the day.

Cook up a storm in the central kitchen and you either serve up at the eight-seater dining table or pad out to the deck and dine alfresco while enjoying leafy views. There’s a lovely indoor fireplace for amping up the cosiness later on. Alternatively, you can wander out to the large freestanding garage and fire up the projector for a post-dinner film, or challenge the crew to a game of ping pong perhaps.

Gather the gang at this beachside escape just 11 minutes’ drive from Batemans Bay and you can bring the dog along for the ride too as this place welcomes pets. Your three-bedroom accommodation is located on a small headland with the secret Circuit Beach a 250-metre stroll away, and it sits on a bush block with spotted gum trees, banksias and lots of birds.

Inside expect wooden floors, modern styling and pops of colour. Our favourite bit of this NSW Airbnb? The huge sunroom with its expansive windows and lovely garden outlook, and the ping pong table just waiting for a family tournament or two.

Expect something a little bit boujee when you add Broulee Beach House to cart. This tranquil NSW retreat, a 20-minute drive south from Batemans Bay and a five-minute stroll from the beach, is managed by The Oaks Ranch Mossy Point and is beautifully styled inside.

Open-plan living, headland views and one seriously spacious deck. That’s what’s on the menu at this NSW family holiday home under 15 minutes’ drive from Batemans Bay. You literally have the beach at your back door here and (helpfully) an outdoor heated shower for cleansing those sandy toes. 

You’re at Malua Bay shops in five minutes’ walk and we suggest cooking up your purchases on the outdoor Weber barbecue. There’s a wine barrel to perch at on the deck with a glass of vino while the nominated chef does their thing, and around the corner you’ll find a dining table big enough to seat eight with ease. Come nightfall, you might like to throw some logs on the fire pit while listening to the sounds of the ocean, or there’s a smart TV in case a stint of Netflix calls. (It’s worth noting that fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillow cases and towels are not generally provided here to keep costs for guests lower, but they can be supplied for a small additional fee).
