About this property

Manyana - Absolute Beachfront Cottage

This house has without doubt, the best position of any property in Manyana and arguably one of the best along the entire South Coast. This charming older style holiday house is only 10 meters or so away from the surf break, and a 2 minute stroll to the sand.
It occupies the northernmost position on the south side of Inyadda Beach, with uninterrupted views of the entire length of the beach, bushland and sand dunes to the north. it also has incredible elevated views of the beach and ocean to the east, as well as to the southern headland of Manyana beach. On a clear day you can see all the way to the southern headland of Jervis bay. Every bedroom and all the living areas have stunning views of the beach or ocean.
The house has a very private and secluded feel, nestled on a low cliff, surrounded by mature trees and bushland. You can watch the surf, the uncrowded beach, and enjoy the frequent sightings of abundant wildlife such as dolphins, whales, rare giant sea eagles, hawks, cormorants, many species of parrots and tiny native birds (honey eaters, blue wrens, and the tiny endangered bronze cuckoo) as well as the occasional kangaroo or brown possum strolling past..
The house is cool in summer due to its proximity to the ocean, benefiting from even the slightest ocean breeze on a sweltering day. Due to its unobstructed exposure to the sun from east in the morning, the north until the mid afternoon, and the west until sunset, the house is warm and cosy even on the coldest days in mid winter. There are ample large heaters for the cold winter nights.

The house was constructed in the 50s with a 2nd story added in the late 70s. The house was re-partitioned, re-carpeted and repainted in the mid 90s. The open plan living and dining room has a timber floor, which is easy to clean and hard to damage, making for a worry free holiday with kids. Whilst the house has not had any major architectural upgrades and is a classic beach shack, it is basic, but clean and family friendly.

There are 3 large bedrooms plus a common area with 2 single bunks, 2 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen with enough pots and pans to satisfy the family would be Masterchef, a kettle style BBQ ideal for roasting whole legs of lamb or large fish, a large timber dining table to comfortably seat 10, as well as an open plan lounge/dining area, with 2 comfortable, chocolate coloured suede lounges, which are stain resistant and easy to keep clean.
The 2 queen beds and 1 king size bed(one in each bedroom) are all of a high quality. There are also 2 single bunks in the large upstairs bedroom together with the king size bed plus another 2 single bunks in a common area in between the upstairs bathroom and the other bedrooms. The house can comfortably accommodate 2 couples with up to 5 or 6 children or up to 3 couples and 4 singles. This configuration makes it an extremely flexible and affordable holiday option in one of the most sought after seaside locations.

Location and activities

Manyana is a delightful South Coast township located less than 3 hours from both Sydney and Canberra.

The house is located at No 1 Sunset Strip, overlooking the magnificent and unspoilt Inyadda Beach, which rarely has more than 20 or so people on it, and is often completely deserted, even in the middle of summer. Inyadda, backbeach or Bendalong beach as it is often referred to has many fantastic sand breaks
Additionally, there is a choice of 4 beaches/surfing breaks all within 5 minute drive including the world famous Green Island point break and the breaks on Monument Beach and Flat Rock, which are protected from the southerly wind and offer a great surfing option when the swell is too big on the South facing beaches.
There are also still water options at Washers Womans Beach and the Boat Ramp, more suitable for the family and small children. No matter in which direction the wind is blowing, a sheltered beach can be found locally.
There are many beach and bushwalking options including a one hour walk to Sussex Inlet, swimming in protected turquoise coloured inlets, snorkelling, fishing and boating on Lake Conjola or Berringer Lake, lots of great pushbike tracks etc. A short trip to Pidgeon House Mountain, located south of Ulladulla or the famous Mogo Zoo are also popular activites in the area.

There are 2 local corner shops for supplies in the adjoining villages of Bendalong and Cunjurong Point for food and supplies, with Ulladulla only 25 minutes by car to access all the major shops.
The historic and picturesque town of Milton is only 20 minutes away by car, and offers a variety of shopping, art galleries, organic delis and cafes, as well as a local hospital.

There are many kangaroos at nearby Bendalong, as well as many species of parrot (including the magnificent King Parrot) that live in local bushland and can be seen and fed. (seed available from corner store).

Local dining attractions for gourmets include Rick Stein at Bannisters, Mollymook, St Isadora's at Milton and Cupitts Winery, Ulladulla both approx 30 minutes away. There is a local minibus company in Manyana which will take you if you want to leave the car behind. There are hamburgers, brekkies and pizzas available at Bendalong and Cunjurong Pt. shops.

2 tennis courts are available for hire. Keys and equipment obtainable from the Cunjurong Pt. shop

Cleanliness is a major problem
The view was gorgeous and we had a great time. We did just want to mention a couple of things that were a little bit uncomfortable for us just to make you aware. Firstly, a major problem for us was the black mould in the house. It was visible all over the shower curtains, on a lamp (that we put outside for the weekend) and on some of the walls and ceilings. Obviously it’s not healthy to be breathing in mould so that was a challenge for us. Another cleaning issue was the state of the plates, bowls and cutlery. Most of these had food remnants on them and hadn’t been cleaned properly which is something that should be checked on each turn over in our opinions. The bathroom upstairs had some electrical issues with the light and a few of us got electric shocks when turning on the lights. Overall the house was clearly not cleaned. The floors and surfaces were all dirty, sticky and grimy and we had to do a big clean on arrival to achieve a minimum standard of cleanliness. The state of the front garden made us assume we had the address wrong as it was so unkept. We knew it was an older house and don’t have an issue with that. We just don’t appreciate the lack of cleanliness and upkeep.

Take me back!
We had a wonderful week at Claude’s property in Manyana which was across the New Year for 2024 involving three generations of family. The views are just so relaxing & mesmerising from every room & although we tend to go for more luxurious accommodation this rustic beach house made up for that by the location & views. Claude was very helpful with any queries & attended to them immediately. No wifi & limited reception which forced the teens to switch off though a short walk a the Hill it was good to go. Kitchen was well equipped, byo linen, bathrooms basic & hot water for 10 had to be spaced out. Some things fiddly/dated like locks on external doors but the whole house grew on us as we relaxed with each passing day. A beautiful area to walk, swim, observe & explore. A special place 🌺☀️🌊

Stunning location
The outlook and location are absolutely fabulous, and the property is generously proportioned. This more than makes up for the aesthetic and condition of the house, which was as we expected based on the accurate listing description. Despite the age, it's a comfortable home with plenty of space for the 10 of us. Be aware you will need to provide your own linen - while not usually an issue, this wasn't stated in the listing, so we had to quickly source items before checking in as we were far from home. Overall it was a wonderful beach escape.
