While the capital cities are already well know for their culinary choices,
slowly but surely those influences are spreading to regional areas where
forward thinking, food loving, entrepreneurs bring their flair to regional
holiday locations. It is helping areas on the South Coast of NSW to evolve
from sleepy towns with a take away fish and chip shop to an absolute orgasmic
feast of food, wine and desserts that are to die for. Best of all most of the
produce is being sourced locally to create fresh tastes that are perfect for
each season.

Adventure & Exploration

active traveller where you can do watersports in the morning and bushwalks
after lunch.

choices for things to do, the big decision is what accomodation do you choose.
Fortunately we have a carefully curated group of luxury holiday rental houses
that deliver a mix of styles, locations & function to cater for couples,
families or even large groups. We can help you organise an itinerary while you
are away that can even include your own private catering, or private tour
guide. Here are three of our properties that guests have been raving about
recently Meet Shearwater: I am your Hamptons inspired blend
of coastal meets luxe. With total beachfront access to the stunning white
sands of Callala Beach, my oversized secure backyard is the window to your own
sandy playground. Classic, breezy & spacious, accommodating
up to 12 of your closest lovers of beachside indulgence. I encourage
indoor-outdoor living, for gracious holidaying and relaxation. I am casual
mornings and lively afternoons.

“We’ve had the pleasure to be the first guests in this wonderful home – and
it was perfect! The house is super spacious, immaculately clean, the kitchen
is beautiful and incredibly well stocked both in terms of dishes, appliances
etc as well as pantry essentials. Travelling with our little one, we were
delighted to find a high chair and extra travelling cod prepared for us. The
highlight of course is the location itself – we felt like we had the beach
for ourselves, it’s just a gorgeous, serene spot we’ll happily come back as
soon as we can. Thanks Rob & Bede for hosting us!”

Meet Atra: I’m an absolute beachfront stunner located in
prime position on the white sands of Callala Beach, Jervis Bay. Peaceful,
luxurious and majestic, my front deck is the perfect location to take in
amazing sunsets over the pristine waters of world-renown Jervis Bay. Generous,
warm and cheerful gatherings are at home here accommodating up to 12 of your
nearest and dearest over 5 bedrooms.

“Atra is a stunning property! Rob & Bede have thought of absolutely
everything. To say this property is well equipped would be an
understatement. Every thoughtful detail made this stay the perfect family
holiday. We really appreciated the cold rosé, the sweets & muesli that were
left for us and the kids even had frozen icy poles waiting for them to be
enjoyed on the grass! This property is immaculately presented. The
cleanliness was second to none. Waking up beachside and watching the
dolphins while we had our morning coffee really topped off the experience.We
can’t wait to book Atra again.”

Meet Mayfield Farm: I am a stylish fusion of country and
coastal living in a one-of-a-kind setting. Blanketed by dairy farms etched
deep in my heart, I pride myself on my charm and elegance, a bygone era
homestead with understated luxury and grace. Bradford pear trees line the
drive as they welcome your arrival. I inspire comfort and lifestyle, easily
accommodating up to 11 guests with my expansive 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.

“Wow wow wow! Above and beyond. Photos don’t do it justice. What an
incredibly well put together holiday home, hosted by what can only be
described as the best in the business; Robe and Bede were super responsive,
accommodating and the ultimate professionals. The property was everything it
promised to be, and so much more. It was ultimate luxury and in the most
picturesque setting. There was nothing which hadn’t been thought of and we
cannot wait to return again in the future.”

If these outstanding properties don’t tantalise your tastebuds check out our
entire portfolio of boutique holiday homes for the customary vacation
experience. All of the Supercalla Private Properties are exceptionally
equipped for an epic and memorable stay.

We’re baby and kid friendly

We do our best to try to make things as easy as possible for parents by having
useful equipment available. Having items like high chairs and cots means
parents can travel lighter. We also provide cutlery for toddlers, toys, books
and games.

Each property is equipped with a microwave for warming up baby meals and a
dishwasher to help make sure everything is properly sterilised.

Kids are easily entertained

Our homes all have generous outdoor areas and if you’re lucky enough to secure
a stay at Atra at Callala Beach and Shearwater, the beach is literally at your
doorstep.

The larger properties have a separate playroom for the kids to make their own
for the holiday. We provide SMART TV sets with easy access to Netflix as well
as plenty of toys, games (expect a plethora of cards and classic school board
games!), and beach equipment, so kids can amuse themselves and give overworked
parents some rest. Handy information is at your fingertips

We appreciate that most families probably aren’t going to want to arrive at
their holiday property with a week’s supply of food, so we let you know well
in advance where the best places are to shop.

With enough notice, we can also coordinate for your food to be delivered to
the door of your holiday home on the day of arrival so it’s in the fridge for
when you arrive.

We know the best child-friendly places to eat and attractions
nearby

Let’s face it, a holiday for families should be about getting away from it all
and relaxing, so it’s likely guests will want to go out to eat at least one
evening. We provide a digital compendium that includes information on any
local cafes and restaurants that are particularly accommodating to babies and
children.

Time for a bath!

We recognise that having a bath in a holiday property can be a godsend for
parents of small children, so most of our properties include a full size bath
and baby baths are available on request.

Well equipped

Our homes are meticulously maintained and fully equipped so parents can book
with confidence knowing their stay will be easy and stress free. Guests often
comment that a stay with Supercalla is unlike any other and they instantly
feel like they have stepped into their home away from home

Dog friendly holiday rentals

Australians have one of the highest pet ownership rates in the world and for
many families a holiday is not complete without being able to take their dog
with them. We have three properties on the NSW south coast that are dog
friendly;

  • Luna
  • Minerva
  • Bay Keepers

What’s The Difference Between A Holiday Rental And A Luxury Holiday Home?

Luxury accomodation that is perfect for families If you have
never rented a holiday home before it can be a little daunting choosing the
right house to stay in. These days you can find properties on Airbnb,
Booking.com, Stayz and other booking platforms with thousands of rental
accommodation choices available. Although, there is a difference. Obviously
the very first thing you will notice is the price and how the property looks.
There are lots of holiday home rentals that are simply someone’s home where
they are not currently staying. So things don’t match, aren’t new and it feels
a bit like staying at your grandmother’s house. Supercalla Private Properties
has a carefully chosen selection of houses which are the absolute opposite of
this. For a family renting one of our properties we want them to feel like it
is their home, we exist to make sure you enjoy a holiday that is comfortable
and a luxurious escape from the day to day grind. From the linen sheets, the
luxury Appelles toiletries, the guest hamper you received or our signature
Supercalla Gin and tonic that awaits you for your arrival. We pay attention to
every detail, we are doyens of hospitality and that is what makes the
difference.

Why Is Renting A Holiday House In NSW A Good Idea In 2022?

Renting a holiday house is safe for a family One of the big
considerations for families thinking about going on holidays in 2022 will be
where is it safe to go. With the constant threat of border closures or needing
to quarantine as the health of our society ebbs and flows it becomes a dilemma
when it comes to choosing a location. For people living in New South Wales,
the South Coast becomes one of the top destinations to travel to in 2022
because of the abundance of wide open spaces available that makes it one of
the safest locations to visit with a family. Consider the options:

  • Getting a motorhome means you can keep to yourselves, but
    then have to share space in a holiday park where other people are coming and
    going, maybe even shared toilets or showers.
  • Renting a room in a hotel means you are sharing facilities
    with other people including stairs, lifts & dining areas.
  • Booking a unit or studio on Airbnb could mean you are
    sharing common facilities and spaces in a building block or other common
    areas like stairs etc.

All of these holiday options pose potential health risks. Although, by renting
a holiday house you can avoid all of these issues because you will have
exclusive use of the property with plenty of space for people to enjoy
themselves and most importantly it is the best way to enjoy a holiday while
keeping safe compared to the alternatives. Our team also practices the highest
levels of accommodation cleaning by taking the following precautions:

  1. Wearing protective gear while cleaning. We use disposable gloves, aprons and
    facial coverings.
  2. Ventilate rooms before cleaning. We open doors and windows while using
    ventilating fans to increase air circulation in the space before beginning
    to clean and disinfect.
  3. Washing hands thoroughly before and after each clean. We make sure to use
    soap and water, washing for at least 20 seconds.
  4. Clean, then disinfect. We use detergent or soap and water to remove dirt,
    grease, dust, and germs. Once the surface is clean, we spray with a
    disinfectant. We let it stand for a few minutes, then wipe. We will always
    use a new cleaning cloth for each new guest.
  5. Avoid touching face while cleaning. We prevent the spread of germs by not
    touching our face, nose, and eyes with unwashed hands.
  6. Use the right disinfectant. Most common household disinfectants registered
    by the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as cleaning solutions with
    diluted household bleach or at least 70% alcohol, are believed to be
    effective against the coronavirus. We pay special attention to frequently
    touched surfaces, like light switches, doorknobs, remote controls, and
    faucet handles.
  7. We don’t forget about sofas, rugs, curtains and other soft, porous surfaces.
    We carefully remove any visible dirt or grime, then clean with the
    appropriate cleaners indicated for use on these surfaces. If possible, we
    will machine-wash items according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  8. Wash all linens at the highest heat setting recommended by the manufacturer.
    This includes bed sheets, mattress covers, hand and bath towels, kitchen
    towels, and blankets. We will always wear gloves when handling dirty
    laundry, and take care to avoid shaking laundry, which could increase the
    spread of germs.
  9. Clean and disinfect laundry baskets and hampers.
  10. Empty the vacuum cleaner after every cleaning. We wipe down the vacuum
    cleaner with disinfectant, along with appliances like the dishwasher and
    washing machine.
  11. Dispose of cleaning supplies. Paper towels, disinfectant wipes, and other
    disposable cleaning supplies are disposed of.

How Can You Travel To The South Coast In NSW?

There are many options available to get to the south coast
Car;

Getting a family to the South Coast of NSW is really easy, it is less than two
hours drive from Sydney, about four hours from Melbourne or around two hours
from Canberra. Obviously most people will drive their own car, but
renting
a vehicle is also an option, the roads are safe, wide and there isn’t much
traffic.

Plane;

You can catch a
plane
to Shellharbour Airport & then get local transport, although hiring a car or
SUV after you land will be your best bet so that you can enjoy some of the
locations in the area. If you are planning on just spending time in the
holiday home we can organise transfers for you.

Boat;

You can drive your boat down to Jervis Bay if you have a vessel that can be
taken on the open ocean. If you have a trailer boat it can be towed down and
put in the water as there are mooring options at Huskinson or Jervis Bay Boat
Storage with plenty of boat ramps located around the bay that can be used too.

There are
boat transport companies
who can also move your boat from another location if you don’t want to drive
it or tow it. They can even put it in the water for you, ready to use as you
need it.

Helicopter;

If you are thinking about treating the family (or a loved one) then you can
create the ultimate luxury experience and get a
helicopter
transfer down to Wollongong which takes as little as 25 minutes to get down
there. It’s the ultimate way to maximise your holiday time.

What Is The Best Place To Go For A Weekend In NSW?

A family holiday for a weekend For many families in 2022 they
will be juggling university, school, full time work and most likely a mix of
working or schooling from home. It will mean families are under each other’s
noses more than ever before. So while it may not be possible to take an
extended holiday during the year for a week or so, you might be trying to
figure out what is the best place to go just for a weekend with the NSW South
Coast one of the best choices considering its close proximity to Sydney. You
could take a day off on Friday & if you left early in the morning you’d arrive
by morning tea time to create a really laid back long weekend. We offer late
check out options which means you can stay until late Sunday and make it home
with plenty of time to kick off the week on Monday. A weekend getaway in
southern New South Wales is easily to achieve while giving you plenty of time
to relax and enjoy yourself. So many people think about Byron Bay, Port
Macquarie or Taree but they are between four and eight hours hours drive away
thus taking up too much time from a weekend. So many travel guides recommend
the South Coast as a place to visit for a weekend including
Escape,
VroomVroomVroom,
The Urban List
&
Trip Advisor.
