The Old Boathouse - kayak / high speed internet / minutes to the beach

A freshly painted boutique style 3 bedroom holiday home at Burrill Lake near Milton-Ulladulla. Situated close to the lake and a short stroll to the beach and several shops within the tranquillity of the South Coast of NSW.

The Old Boathouse
The property is lovely and beautifully presented. We just loved the outdoor upstairs deck off the kitchen. Perhaps the cleaner could pay a bit more attention to the finer points of cleaning. Burrill Lake itself is a little in-between nowhere place and if you want a change of scene it usually means driving.

I booked this lovely property for my husband’s parents to stay whilst they attended our Daughters Wedding. It was as gorgeous as the photos in the add. We’ll definitely be back to stay again as we didn't stay long enough to enjoy everything the home and surrounding area has to offer.

We had a short stay in November 2023, we enjoyed it so much we had to return. The Old Boathouse is just great, it is all that it is promoted to be. Centrally located to the districts we enjoy exploring, we are more than likely to return again.

Great location, excellent property
Great stay at this well appointed property- very comfortable, very clean & lots of additional bonuses- we loved the spin in the kayak- just a short walk down the road. There was a massive, unprecedented storm- but no problems for us & prompt response with additional clean mid stay organised from the owner. Highly recommend.

Don’t hesitate in booking this property. It was everything we wanted and more. The communication with the host was prompt and accommodating, the house has everything you need for families or adults staying together. Wonderfully equipped, immaculately clean and allows for anything you may need. That deck is certainly a highlight! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.

My family spent a week in the Old Boathouse and we had an amazing time. Very relaxing. The veranda is fantastic to sit and watch the birds fly past you ( quite literally). Close to the lake and shops in a very quiet neighbourhood. Definitely happy to come back.

Amazing. Wow. We’ll be back!
We were on a 8 day trip moving our family (including dog) from Melbourne to Brisbane. This place was a delight to land - beautiful quiet area, nice community feel, a short work to a stunning beach, short walk to local coffee (seriously great little bakery) and best fish n chips! We stayed here for 2 nights and did not leave the Boathouse. It was comfortable, clean and fully equipped for us not to have to get back in the car the whole time we were there. (Supermarkets just a short drive away if needed) We felt completely rested for the rest of the journey - a true gift!
