Car rental (e.g. JUCY) is recommended for onward travel to Killcare. ## When to go Humpback whales migrate north along the coast from June to August and south from October to November, making those periods ideal for whale watching from the property. ## Why visit A three-storey all-glass beachfront villa that over-delivers on space, luxury fittings, and ocean views, with a quiet, uncrowded beach and concierge access to private chefs, spa treatments, surf lessons, and more. ## What to see - **Killcare and Putty Beach** — A 1.6km beach of golden sand enclosed in rocky headlands, typically uncrowded even on busy weekends. - **Bouddi Peninsula coastal walkway** — A string of pristine beaches and rugged headlands accessible on foot from the property. - **Whale watching from the house** — Two high-powered telescopes positioned beach-facing make the house an excellent vantage point during humpback migration season. - **Hardy's Bay** — A tidal inlet over the hill with restaurants, cafes, a general store, wine shop, art galleries, and boat charters. ## What to do - **Surfing and stand-up paddle-boarding** — Lessons can be arranged through the property concierge. - **Walking the beach** — The 1.6km beach is ideal for dawn and sunset walks between the rocky headland boundaries. - **Dining at Manfredi at Bells** — Award-winning restaurant by chef Stefano Manfredi; popular enough that Sydney-siders charter seaplanes for lunch. - **Fish and chips at the Killcare surf club kiosk** — Casual beachside lunch spot beside a sheltered rock pool, praised by the author as exceptional. - **In-house spa and fitness services** — Concierge can arrange in-house massage, beauty treatments, and personal training sessions. ## Good to know All Luxe Houses reservations include concierge access; services such as private chefs, nannies, drivers, helicopter transfers, and bespoke spa treatments are available at additional cost. The house sleeps multiple age groups with a dedicated children's bunkroom and rumpus room alongside five adult bedrooms and five bathrooms. ## Photos ```yaml photos: - url: "https://travelmemo.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Luxe-Houses-Killcare-New-South-Wales-Australia-38.jpg" caption: "The pool at Killcare Beach House.
