About this property

Kilcunda Cottage ....

Kilcunda Cottage is located in the sleepyhead seaside village of Kilcunda, just 10km from Phillip Island and 14km from Wonthaggi on the stunning Bass Coast.

We are located in the street directly behind the Kilcunda Pub (Ocean View Hotel) which is famous for not only a fabulous view of the coastline from the front deck, but also great food and hospitality.

Kilcunda and Shelley beaches are just across the road (less than 200m), both provide plenty of good surfing, boogie boarding, rockpools and protected inlets for families.
Good fishing is had from estuary(Powlett River), surf or rocks.

Our older style cottage is set on a large allotment with a pet friendly fully fenced rear yard, there are two bedrooms, one with double queen size bed (BYO linen) and 2nd bedroom with 1 single bed & 1 upr/lwr single bunk beds, the room can accommodate 3 children (BYO linen), fully equipped small kitchen and bathroom with shower and separate toilet, also has an outside Hot shower for washing sand off. To see more cottage & local photo's please google our website kilcundacottage dot net dot au

• You bring you own linen & towels
• You must clean the cottage prior to departure (if not a cleaning fee of up to $400 will be deducted from your damages bond )

Pet Friendly Accommodation
Pets are not a problem to us, the property is fenced with approximately a 200sqm secure dog run (1500 high fence). There is a rear porch area where pets could be kept undercover overnight.

Late "Check-out"
We have nominated 4:00pm as the "check-out" time on the day of departure, so guests can enjoy their last day at the cottage without the rush that an early "check-out" requires. (We really appreciate late "check-outs" on our travels and hope our guest appreciate it as well) Also we may be able to accommodate an early "check-in" (prior to 4:30pm). Please contact us, a couple of days prior to your arrival to see if this option is available.

Kilcunda Cottage was a comfortable, well equipped place with secure yard for our dog.

Excellent location but seeing we had hot weather, an air conditioner would have definitely made our stay even more comfortable.

Visited previously - still great!

Very comfortable place to stay for the humans in our party - good bed, fully equipped kitchen, hot shower. And for our four legged member a lovely safe garden. The new development of shops is very pleasant, the pub is great, as is the general store/cafe. Close to lots of great strolls/serious walks.

Great value, great location.

Kilcunda Cottage was perfect for a few days away just me and my dog. The cottage is very dog friendly with a big secure yard. The property is well stocked with everything needed. It is very small inside though so not much room to sit if you have visitors and want to watch a movie at night or something

the cottage is very well located in a walking distance from the beach and the rail trail path. we stayed during hot weather, and the cottage had not been opened and ventilated beforehand so felt very stuffy. It would be good to aerate the place more often. Otherwise its nice and comfortable.

Great little holiday house

Lovely little holiday house just a short walk to the beach Front and back decks mean you can always find a spot out of the weather Super secure safe little back yard, perfect for dogs or children, I would say it is escape proof The house is nice and relaxed, exactly what I like in a Holiday rental. Really good sleep quality due to total block out curtains which also help to keep the cottage nice and warm, very cold weather while I've been here Overall it has everything a family would need for a comfortable beach holiday Very happy with my choice

My sons 21st

Was not happy with the internet not working as my son is autistic and just wanting to talk to his friends online. The house looked cleaned, but opened the microwave it was filthy. There was food in the cupboard that was from 2017. There was no room in the master bedroom for clothes the owner has filled it with junk. The smaller room had a clothes horse that was full of tea towels ect… so you couldn’t even go in that room unless taking the horse down. Beautiful location, just not happy with cleanliness of house.

Kilcunda in winter

Great layout, comfy bed, great hot water, easy to heat, walking distance from a great pub. Lots of lovely walks near by. Love lying in bed listening to a) rain on the roof and or b) the surf. Super safe back yard for our dog.

Needs an air-conditioner. No cooling apart from a stand fan which wasn't enough on a 43 degree day.
