Whale Tales at Caves Beach Villas
Take your front row seat to watch the gentle giants of the sea frolicking off the coast of Caves Beach, NSW. In the Winter months (May - October) pods of Humpback whales can regularly be spotted from the deck of this beautiful home, so sit back and relax and watch them on their journey. Guests can easily spot them breaching and can count the whale tales as they splash and dive. In the warmer months, enjoy direct beach access and an easy walk to explore the magnificent caves from which this secluded area takes its name. All year round you can sit on the deck to enjoy beautiful sunset skies over the ocean or watch the moon rise over the horizon.
This exquisite two-storey, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa offers the ideal combination of comfort and luxury for your next retreat or family reunion. Perfect for up to eight guests, the villa is thoughtfully designed with tasteful decor and all the modern amenities you could need—and more.
With stunning ocean views, Caves Beach Villa 38 - "Whale Tales" - beautifully blends indoor and outdoor living. Inside, you'll discover two generous living areas designed for maximum relaxation, a well-appointed kitchen and 2 large bedrooms, each with an ensuite, and the upstairs bathroom featuring a deep bath tub for added luxury.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, oven and dishwasher, making it easy to prepare meals at your leisure. If you'd rather someone else cook - the Caves Coastal Bar is a 2 minute stroll away, offering a delicious menu including seafood, healthy salads, classic burgers and woodfire pizza.
Additional comforts in this home include Wi-Fi, four flat-screen TVs, a washing machine and dryer, ensuring a seamless, home-like experience throughout your stay.
As the day winds down, watch the colours in the sky transform as you soak up the tranquil charm and peaceful surroundings of Caves Beach Villa 38—your perfect coastal escape.

This villa is privately owned and managed. Securing a reservation through Weekenda at Caves Bungalows provides you with access to the complex's pool, bar, and restaurant.
How We Price: The booking price is based on a minimum number of guests. Any guests above this number are chargeable on a per person/per night rate. The system will automatically calculate the correct rate when you enter the required number of guests. Reductions in guest numbers are non-refundable.
Arrival Details: Access to the property is made simple. You’ll receive an access code via SMS just before 3pm on your arrival day, which you’ll use for the duration of your stay. Standard check-in is at 3pm. While an earlier arrival may be possible, it cannot be confirmed until the afternoon prior to your arrival. If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm.
Linen: Beds are made with 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person supplied. Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. Pool/Lake/Beach towels are BYO
Guest Amenities: We are Eco-Friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers. In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities.
Shared Resort Pool: Guests have unrestricted access. 6AM - 9PM October to April, 7AM - 5PM May to September
No Party Policy: All reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws. This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior.
Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.
Cameras and Noise Monitoring: There are external security cameras at this private Villa. Please note Caves Bungalows is a complex with commercial offerings of a restaurant and bar. As such, external cameras are present in these communal areas as well. Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct
Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.
Critical Update: Due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft. Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.
Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like a Hunter Valley Concert
Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'
This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.
We look forward to having you stay with us.
