Delamere

Delamere is a pet-friendly holiday house at 98 Addison Road, Culburra Beach, on the South Coast, managed by Professional Holiday Homes. It is a five-minute walk to the sand, and the pet arrangements are unusually clear for a rental: dogs are welcome indoors under house rules, with your own bedding brought along for them.

Dogs at Delamere

Dogs are permitted inside the property but are kept off the furniture and beds, and guests must bring their own blankets or bedding for the dog. No size limit or pet fee is published, so confirm both, along with any specific pet rules, with the property manager when you book. Before you commit, ask whether the yard is fenced, how many dogs are allowed, and whether the dog can be left alone in the house. Pack a towel for sandy paws as well.

The place

The house is set up for a classic South Coast getaway: an indoor fireplace and an outdoor firepit bookend the cooler evenings, and there is a Nespresso machine at the breakfast bar for the mornings. The listing markets itself explicitly as pet-friendly and close to the beach, and the five-minute walk to Culburra Beach is the detail that matters most with a dog in tow.

Getting there and out with the dog

Culburra Beach sits at the mouth of the Crookhaven River, about 25 minutes south-east of Nowra. Under Shoalhaven City Council rules, the stretch of beach between Gateway Caravan Park and Tilbury Cove allows off-lead dogs in the early morning and evening: 4pm to 8am in daylight saving months, 3pm to 10am in winter, on-lead outside those hours, so time the walk accordingly. For a guaranteed off-lead run whatever the hour, the Greenwell Point fenced dog park is a short drive away. In town, Benny's Cafe and The Little Snapper are the local eating stops.

More options in the region are on the Culburra Beach destination page, and the full list is in the NSW stays index.
