Pippis Bendalong — Holiday House Bendalong NSW

Theheart of
Bendalong

Our Story

Named after the break out front.

Pippis takes its name from the surf break that rolls in right out the front door. This little weatherboard shack has always had a name, a character, a soul of its own — and now it's yours to enjoy.

Bendalong has been quietly winning hearts for decades. Tucked down a winding road on the NSW South Coast, this tiny village holds a certain magic that is hard to explain and impossible to forget. Pippis sits right in the middle of it all.

Barefoot, unhurried, connected. This is where you pop the phone away, feel the sand between your toes, and remember what a slow morning actually feels like.

The House

Your Bendalong holiday house.
All the character. None of the fuss.

A lovingly restored weatherboard beach house for hire on the NSW South Coast — yours for the weekend or longer. Well-equipped, spotlessly clean, and in the best location in Bendalong. Sleeps 7.

Room 1

The Queen Room

Your sanctuary after a long day of salt and sun. Quiet, cosy, and all yours. Wake up slowly, let the sounds of the coast drift in, and take your time getting going.

1 x Queen bed · Sleeps 2 · Linen provided

Rooms 2 & 3

The Bunk Rooms

The kids' kingdom. Five single bunks across two rooms — expect arguments over who gets the top bunk before you've even unpacked the car. Giggling after lights out is basically guaranteed.

2 x Bunk beds · 1 x Single · Sleeps 5 · Linen provided

Outdoors

The Fire Pit & Deck

This is where the magic happens. Gather around the fire as the stars come out, pass the marshmallows, and let the evening stretch as long as it wants. No itinerary. No rush. Just this.

The Family Escape

Board games after dinner. Morning walks feeding kangaroos. Sandy feet tracked through the door. Five bunks for the little ones, a queen for the parents. Pippis is perfectly sized for the family who wants adventure and connection.

🏄

The Surf Crew

Young, driven by the ocean. They've packed the van, chosen their boards, and are heading south for a weekend of waves and mates. Bendalong's beaches deliver. Pippis is their perfect base camp.

🌙

The Couple Retreat

Sydneysiders who need to unplug. Moonlight walks, slow mornings, strong coffee, and dinner in Milton. Pippis gives them the pace they've been craving — intimate, beautiful, and completely their own.

Guest Reviews

Don't just take our word for it.

Real guests. Real stays. Real Bendalong magic.

★★★★★

"We came with three kids under 8 and honestly it was the easiest holiday we've had in years. The bunk rooms were a HIT — the kids didn't want to leave. Feeding the stingrays was a highlight of their entire year. The house had everything, we didn't need to bring a thing. Already booked again for January."

★★★★★

"Four of us drove down from Sydney for a surf trip and Pippis was the perfect base. The Pippis break was pumping both mornings, we were in the water before 6am. Great vibe in the house, fire pit every night, and the location is unreal. Will 100% be back with the crew."

★★★★★

"Ok we are obsessed. We came for a long weekend and genuinely did not want to go home. Went to Cupitt's for lunch on Saturday, hiked to the Mermaid Pool Sunday morning, and spent the rest of the time doing absolutely nothing. The house is so cute and has such a good vibe. Bendalong is a hidden gem."

Ava & Tom

Melbourne, VIC · Couple

★★★★★

"We needed a proper switch-off and this delivered. Woke up both mornings to the sound of the surf, had slow coffees on the deck, and didn't look at our phones for two days. Milton for dinner on Saturday night was brilliant. Pippis is the kind of place that actually makes you feel rested."

Rachel & Dave

Canberra, ACT · Couple

★★★★★

"Hiked Pigeon House Mountain the first morning, Mermaid Pool the second, surfed in between and still had time to feed the stingrays at sunset. This area is seriously underrated for adventure. Pippis is the perfect base — central, comfortable, and the fire pit after a big day is everything."
