About this house rental
Want to enjoy the sun, surf & sand in a beautiful beachhouse? Then look no further than this coastal gem in Catherine Hill Bay, just a short hop from the city and steps away from a pristine beach. Relax on spacious verandahs, watch dolphins & whales, or take a dip in the sparkling sea. It’s pet-friendly too with fully fenced gardens and a dog-friendly beach across the road. The ultimate surfside holiday awaits, just 90 minutes from Sydney.

Catherine Hill Bay is in Awabakal Country in the Hunter Valley Region of NSW. It was recently recognised for its outstanding beauty in the book "101 Best Australian Beaches".
The heritage precinct of Catherine Hill Bay consists of less than 150 houses. Torodes was the original cottage hospital in the old town, which has been beautifully restored with all modern conveniences while retaining the retro character of years gone by.
Across the road, the southern end of Catherine Hill Bay beach is patrolled from October to April. Recreational activities include swimming, surfing, fishing and coastal walks. The village is surrounded by National Parks and is a great base for bushwalking and bird watching. The beach across the road is dog friendly for the area north of the creek (which is 90% of the beach).
Torodes is a fantastic base for exploring the Hunter Valley Region, including the expansive waterways of Lake Macquarie (minutes away), the thriving food and arts scene in Newcastle (40 minutes), and the Hunter Valley vineyards (1 hour).
Guests have access to the the full house and yard as described above, including off-street parking for two cars. Rental rates do not include use of the separate Karaabah studio at the rear of the property.
Please read the house rules carefully before booking this property. Parties and functions are strictly prohibited.

I highly recommend Torodes for a holiday destination, the house is very welcoming and so easy to relax in. Kitchen is great with all modern amenities, bedrooms are a good size with super comfy beds and lux linen. The verandah areas are fantastic and so is the fenced in garden. Then to top it off the beach is just across the road.Paul was excellent with his communication and very accommodating.We will be back, many thanks Paul
