The house and garden is lovingly maintained by us (Chris and Bruce) to make your stay memorable. We have a 7 night minimum stay so you have time to relax, unwind and enjoy our beautiful location.

A 5th person can be accommodated if necessary on a divan in the family room (extra person fee applies , please talk to the owner). All linen is supplied.

The casual lounge and dining areas are located in the main living room overlooking the bay. Morning sun streams in during the winter months making this a great warm winter retreat. In summer the sea breezes temper the summer heat making Clifftop a wonderful holiday house all year round.
We now have NBN and WIFI connected so you can work and play while you stay at Clifftop.
A new deck at the rear of the house offers views over a private forested gully with established sub tropical landscaped gardens. Relax over a barbeque and watch the sun go down.

Local amemities and interests

'Clifftop' is located right on top of the cliff with unimpeded views. You can almost reach out and touch the sea eagles as they often soar in the updraughts right in front of the house.
Whales frequent the bay in season and 'Clifftop' is the dress circle viewing location.
The house is very protected from prevailing winds and the northerly aspect adds to the warm ambience.

It is only a short 100m stroll to the one of the safest and most beautiful beaches in NSW. Tathra beach is patrolled by lifeguards every weekend from September and every day during the summer to the end of February.

A new outdoor gym is available for visitors behind the surf club. A morning swim and workout will ensure the best start to a memorable holiday.

Cliff Place is a quiet, peaceful street with no through traffic. Only a short walk of 200m leads you to the famous Tathra Wharf, one of the only old heritage listed shipping wharves on the east coast of Australia. The fishing here is safe and productive with good seasonal catches of trevally, yellow tail, sea bream, mackerel and more. You can simply watch the action if you prefer while enjoying a great cup of coffee or lunch at the “wharf Local”cafe.
From here you can take the new pathway to the headland with wonderful views to the east and south from a large cantilevered deck .

The local butcher, newsagent and supermarket are located right at the top of the street, just a short 150m stroll. Restaurants, clubs and the historic Tathra Hotel are all within a short walk for lunch and dinner, or a courtesy bus is available on request from some venues.

Tathra Cellars is open again and Anthony is very helpful, welcoming and full of information.

Magical stay in a house with spectacular views
We loved staying in this magical house with spectacular views of Tathra beach. It was a short stroll down to the beach for an early morning swim and then coffee every morning. Amazing location. Walking distance to the historic Tathra Pub. Oysters on the cliff opposite the house on our favourite bench. We loved staying at Cliff top house and will be planning our next holiday there soon.

About the host

Hosted by Christine Hamilton

Host profile image
Clifftop was built by my parents in 1961. The house is a specially designed Retro home with high timber ceilings and large windows. I grew up in this house and it has a special place in my heart. I inherited the responsibility to look after it in 2008 and do my best to manage it with loving care so that others can enjoy its charms. I am a horticulturist and have restored the sub tropical gully and garden, which is on going. We have lots of wildlife which is a blessing and a burden when it comes to gardens but they do add a great attraction to the property for visitors.
Tathra is a special town in a unique location with very friendly people .
I live just out of town on another unique property with horses and wildlife. I have the best of both worlds!

Why they chose this property

This was my childhood home and my family will keep it into the future. It will always be special to our family

What makes this property unique

Clifftop is a unique Retro Home of double brick, high timber ceilings and spectacular views. Every one who visits Clifftop would love to return and most do. The house has a good vibe with easy living and easy care. It is situated very centrally yet quiet , with no through traffic and very friendly next door neighbours. It is only a short stroll to all amenities.
