Drifters at Callala Beach Near Jervis Bay Maritime Museum
Callala Beach out the front door & the bush just out the back...
Sit back, it is time to coast...
Our light and airy, 5-bedroom house (can sleep 14 maximum of 10 adults), is located just a short stroll to the beach & Jervis Bay's wonderful ocean playground.
Due to Stayz and NSW Tourism policies, we are meant to limit groups to no more than 10 adults, i.e. to get the maximum of 14 staying the booking would consist of at least 4 children.
Drifters is nestled in the middle of a family-friendly environment with a tranquil Bush outlook with the sounds of the waves & calling of the birds, it is just perfect for a getaway.
Drifter’s @ Callala Beach has lots of character, cathedral/vaulted ceilings, polished timber floors, large outdoor deck for alfresco dining framed by the bush & in-ground pool, all helping to give it a modern beach house feel.
With 5 bedrooms & lots of space in the 2 entertainment areas, there is plenty of room for a group of couples/friends, extended/large/multiple families.
We have new beds & the kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you would find at home & is full of the mod cons including a large screen LCD TV, DVD, Hi-fi, WI-FI, Netflix, BBQ & a wood combustion heater for the cooler months as well.
Feeling Active ...
400M walk away you can enjoy the white sands of Jervis Bay/Callala Beach & look for the resident pods of Dolphins who come in very close regularly all year round!

The clear, crystal blue/green waters are perfect for diving, boating, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, dolphin (a resident pod of dolphins regularly sited) & whale watching (in June/July & October/November).
