Welcome to the Captains Cottage!
The Captain's Cottage is both a modern and traditional beach cottage which is set up for familiy groups to enjoy the ultimate beach holiday.
The Cottage incorporates an authentic lighthouse.
The cottage is located immediately adjoining a safe sandy beach. Just a short stroll of 20 metres across the back lawn to be on the low beach dune and a further 30 metres across the dune to be on the sand to get your toes wet.
The cottage is located at Long Beach which is a small relatively unspoilt hamlet 5 km north of the regional centre of Batemans Bay and 3 minutes in from the Princess Highway.
Whether you want to relax in the outdoor heated spa, swim, paddle in the water, fish off the beach in front of the cottage, explore the rock pools at each end of the 1km long beach,build sandcastles or just laze around in an idyllic setting and "feel the serenity", this is the place to be for that great holiday or short break in both summer and winter.
The cottage has five bedrooms and is set up to accomodate 10 people (with a maximum of 8 adults).
The cottage has two bathrooms. One of these incorporates a large deep bath and a separate shower whilst the other is an ensuite modelled on two beach huts (see photos). There is also an outside heated spa and shower.
One pet is allowed. Details of the areas of Long Beach beach where dogs can be walked are provided in the Cottage.
The cottage has three separate living areas, each with their own TV and VCR/DVD player, three open deck areas with one having a heated 6 person spa, a screened sunroom, and a screened covered deck area. The open backyard fronting the beach is all grass and ideal for that game of cricket or badminton. The cottage even incorporates a fully equipped replica ship's bridge from a 1930's cargo ship.
We provide boogie boards, buckets and spades, cricket set, badminton set, a DVD/Video library (many with a nautical theme), puzzles, games, magazines, books, outdoor sun lounges, and even a picnic basket to take onto the beach.
We can also supply bed linen and bath towels if required.
If you have a trailer boat this can be easily parked in front of the cottage. Limited boat launching facilities are provided at one end of Long Beach and numerous boat ramps are provided around Batemans Bay.
The Captains Cottage is a magic place and unique on the south coast for the very best holiday experience.

"Wow, 7 ladies headed to the south coast to stay whilst our guys went to the Moto GP at Phillip Island. The moment you walked through the front door the house welcomed you. It covered you with a blanket of contentment and a feeling that you had never been away. We imagined ourselves on the high seas and even had Jolly Roger along to keep us company. What can I say, Lynne you have a great imagination and an eye for detail. The phone discussions with you was like talking to a long lost friend and you could not have been more helpful, the bottle of wine went down a treat as well. You certainly went above and beyond to make sure our stay was all we had dreamed. All us girls say thankyou and I have already sent a request for a booking next year. Can't wait to stay there again. Hope to see Captain Jack Sparrow this time."

"A group of us stayed at the "Captains Cottage" for a weekend and it was the best weekend we have had yet. All 8 of us girls were very impressed with the Cottage and it's location, we loved everything about it. It was comfortable, relaxing, peaceful and fun. We all wanted to move in and were sad to leave but we took some fantastic photos to remind us of our brilliant weekend away. Our thanks to Lynne & Brian for such a wonderful stay ;-)"
