Catherine Hill Bay is in Awabakal Country in the Hunter Valley Region of NSW. It was recently recognised for its outstanding beauty in the book "101 Best Australian Beaches".

The heritage precinct of Catherine Hill Bay consists of less than 150 houses. Torodes was the original cottage hospital in the old town, which has been beautifully restored with all modern conveniences while retaining the retro character of years gone by.

Across the road, the southern end of Catherine Hill Bay beach is patrolled from October to April. Recreational activities include swimming, surfing, fishing and coastal walks. The village is surrounded by National Parks and is a great base for bushwalking and bird watching. The beach across the road is dog friendly for the area north of the creek (which is 90% of the beach).

Torodes is a fantastic base for exploring the Hunter Valley Region, including the expansive waterways of Lake Macquarie (minutes away), the thriving food and arts scene in Newcastle (40 minutes), and the Hunter Valley vineyards (1 hour).

Guests have access to the the full house and yard as descibed above, including off-street parking for two cars. The rental rates do not include use of the separate studio building at the rear of the block of land.

Please read the house rules carefully before booking this property. Parties and functions are strictly prohibited.

Heaven on a stick
Loved the house - retained character but heaps of comfort and luxury. Great secure garden. So many spaces to enjoy. Fantastic beach for walking and surfing - feels undiscovered though that is changing.

Brilliant location & cottage
Torodes is a beautifully renovated cottage which oozes charm. It is extremely well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is probably one of the best beach side houses we have ever stayed at. Our dog loved the large back garden & beach directly across the road. We will definitely be back!!
