Cottage 5 – Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages
53 Cyrus Street, Hyams Beach
The Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages are quaint colourful heritage cottages nestled along a creek with north facing verandahs. They are the perfect spot to take in the tranquility of Jervis Bay. The cottages contain a bedroom with ensuite, sitting room and a balcony overlooking the small tree-lined creek that crisscrosses the site. The staggered layout of the cottages ensures that each has a view towards Jervis Bay from a north facing deck. The beaches and café are only minutes from your front door! Perfect couples only getaway.
These heritage cottages were originally built in the 1920s as fisherman’s cabins. They operated continuously since the 1920’s until the late twentieth century as family holiday cabins. In 1998 the seven remaining cabins were transformed into quaint colourful one bedroom seaside cottages which quickly became a preferred romantic getaway in the heart of Jervis Bay.
Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages are in the Jervis Bay National Park on the walkway to Huskisson. Dolphin and whale watch cruises, restaurants and Booderee National Park are only a ten minute drive from the cottages and the Hyams Beach Cafe is a short walk up the road.
Please note:
Cottage Five has a shower, vanity, and toilet configuration in its bathroom.
Where will I be?
The Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages are located at 53-55 Cyrus Street and are set amongst lovely gardens and trees. They are in the heart of Hyams Beach yet set back for privacy and seclusion. Cottage One is located nearest to the road, and Cottage Seven is located at the rear of the block. All are within easy walking distance of the beaches and cafe, and the whole complex has a lovely riverine setting, with views to the bay from every cottage.
Why stay at a Hyams Beach Seaside Cottage?
The cottages are constructed from timber and originally date from the 1920's. They have been extensively refurbished and fully modernised, yet retain a lovely feel of yesteryear. Due to their size and configuration, they are suitable for couples or single travellers only.
How is the cottage laid out?
Each cottage has a bathroom at is rear, a good sized bedroom with queen bed, and an interconnected living area, complete with small kitchenette, lounge, electric fireplace, and a table for two in a lovely bay window. A north facing deck adjoins the living area, from which you have views towards Jervis Bay, overlooking lovely riverine bush. You are also most likely to be visited by friendly rosellas and lorikeets!
Wi-Fi, Internet, Netflix or Pay TV - will I have it?
The Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages do offer Wi-Fi, and a username and password will be provided for that in your pre-arrival email. There is a smart tv in the living room so you can stream your favourite shows.
You may use the Wi-Fi with no guarantee of reliability or bandwidth by us or the owner. If internet access is critical during your stay, please make sure that you have a Plan B!
What about outdoors?
Each cottage is set within lovely landscaped gardens and at the rear of the site, there is a communal barbecue and outdoor seating area. The gas barbecue is supplied with oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and paper towels. The cottages are set along a creek with natural bush, but all have views towards Jervis Bay even from Cottage Seven. Birds, including rosellas and parrots and resident kangaroos are frequent visitors!
Staying warm or keeping cool?!
Each cottage is equipped with an electric fireplace that will keep you warm and cosy. In summer, you can make use of the ceiling fan, or the front door, windows and French doors of the cottage can be opened up to catch any available ocean breeze. All windows are fitted with fly screens.
What about sheets, towels and other supplies?
The Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages are all supplied with linen, towels and a very comfortable bed! Please bring your own beach towels though.
What provisions are there for me to use?
Each cottage has a small fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, cutlery, crockery and glasses. No oven or stove top is provided.
Parking for cars?
There is off-street parking for one car. Each cottage is entitled to the use of one car space.
Is my dog or cat also welcome to stay?

Reviews
Beautiful clean and relaxing stay
Mai-Ann N - 12th October 2024The cottages are a Great location to Hyams Beach and we're very well maintained, beautiful and clean. Thank you we will be coming back!
Hyams Beach Cottage
Naomi H - 14th April 2024We have been wanting to stay here for many years as we stayed 32 years ago before the cottages were renovated. Our blue cottage - number 5 was very comfortable, in a quiet setting and was beautifully renovated. The only thing we would add is a bit more lighting over the dining area as we ate in the dark. We had cold, wet weather on one day so the electric fire was very cosy to have on for the afternoon. The cafe was virtually across the road and provided some tasty lunches.
Clean and cute
Lubka C - 1st February 2024Hi Everything was wonderful. We would definitely come back and recommend this to others.
Loved staying in cottage 5
Sharon K - 3rd December 2023Found the cottage classically decorated inside - loved the old but well maintained furniture. All was clean and tidy with everything we needed in an ideal setting
Cottage 5 - Absolutely Loved It!!!
Joanne X - 28th October 2023From the moment we arrived we knew this was going to be a great trip! On opening the front door, it was a complete WOW Factor. We loved the quaint cottage. everything about this cottage was Amazing. A huge credit goes out to the cleaning staff. I could not fault a thing. The cottage was incredibly clean. We stayed as some top notch hotels and they don't even come close to the satisfaction we felt with this cottage. The kitchen was well stocked. We are definitely coming back! 😊👍
Such tranquillity
Tracey M - 11th April 2023Everything you need. Bed great, shower hot and with great stream, hair shampoo conditioner hand wash all there. Quiet champagne on the deck also great for morning coffee.
Cottage 5
Cynthia S - 28th August 2022A beautiful cottage perfect for our needs. Thank you.
Hyams Seaside Cottages with true intentions of History
Vesna R - 27th April 2022Bring to you a resplendence of history of Australian Seamen in their cottages. The midnight tranquility is perfectly seeping into the night. Embellished by the beauty of this purest white beach with Guinness award rating. Spoil yourself till your heart’s content.
Relaxing and Private Stay
Susan C - 3rd April 2022The cottage is very cute. The location is excellent and it is very peaceful and private. The wi-fi was good and the shower was powerful and hot. The weather was cold and wet during our stay so we could not take advantage of the outside verandah area, however the “fire-like” heater and additional oil heater proved effective.
Beautiful little place.
Adam V - 27th March 2022A beautiful and relaxing place to stay.
Thoighroughly enjoyed our stay
Joseph H - 18th January 2022The property and location were perfect and we had a great stay. The self check in and check out was awesome and we really appreciated being able to move our dates due to covid travel restrictions.
Charming, blissful, cosy and convenient
Chris R - 8th December 2021The cottage is perfect for weekends away or longer stays. It's compact and cosy, well furnished and feels spacious for a couple. Everything was clean and tidy, plenty of bedding and towels. The balcony outlook and natural surrounds make for a peaceful stay, while the nearby beach and cafe is very convenient. We'll look to stay here in the future, without question.
The perfect seaside escape
Jessica F - 6th June 2021The Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages are the perfect getaway for Romantics who want to get away from the hustle and bustle. The cottages are perfect for all your needs and just a stones throw away from the beach.
Perfect location situated just a few minutes walk to the cafe and beach. The cottage was so cute and had everything you needed for a short stay.
Perfection plus
Nic C - 7th April 2021Stunning location, quite, clean and super comfortable. Will be staying here again for sure.
Perfect getaway for a relaxing weekend. Loved watching the sunsets from the patio. The beach was super close and the cottage was so cozy and cute.
Zar and Lachs stay at cottage 5
Zara H - 28th March 2021My partner and I had an amazing little getaway together at cottage 5 - it was so clean, neat and had everything you could possibly need. Being right opposite the beach made it super convenient! We had such a lovely and unforgettable stay here, lots of memories were made and it will be one we remember forever.
Gorgeous Little Hideaway
Nicole O - 20th March 2021We recently spent four nights at one of the lovely refurbished c.1926 Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages. The cottage was well laid-out, cosy, well equipped and so very charming, oozing character from a bygone era. It was across the road from Hyams Beach, mere metres to a little cafe, and was the perfect, relaxing hub for our exploration of one of the prettiest gems of the south. A surprise visit of local kangaroos and rainbow lorikeets topped it off. We loved it and look forward to our return.
Lovely Cottage that’s a stones throw away from Hyams Beach
Giovanni F - 9th February 2021Booked a little get away for my wife and I. Was looking for something in a quite location and very close to the beach. This cottage didn’t disappoint. The cottage itself is clean and comfortable with a car spot. Every afternoon your greeted by the local Rainbow Lorikeets on your balcony and the sound of the sea and the wildlife whilst sitting on the veranda was a highlight. The cottage is close to Hyams Beach Store and Cafe which is great for Breakfast or lunch.
Fantastic! Can’t wait to come back!
Beth A - 31st January 2021The cottage itself if just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! The location is perfect and so close to so many outstanding beaches. The cottage is quaint and caters perfectly to 2 people, just the right size. I will definitely be back and will also recommend to my friends and family.
Great Location
Belinda W - 30th January 2021Our stay here was amazing- it was quiet even though a busy season, my favourite beach to swim, the cottage had all you need (no air con but didnt need it due to ocean breeze), bed and linen well provided. Only thing was the bbq was difficult to start.
Review
Sue P - 19th January 2021We enjoyed our stay in Number 5 thank you. The only concerns we had were: - Broken hinge on bedroom window so unable to open - Cold water tap makes an almighty screech when turned on more than a dribble - several small wear holes on bed linen - broken slats on window coverings
Cute little cottage in an amazing location. Easy access to beach’s all around you. Cottages are very cute and cosy perfect couples getaway!
Cute Little Getaway
Analisa V - 15th January 2021Great location - with everything you need for a little getaway!
Great cottage for a couples getaway ! Loved hearing the waves from the balcony at night.
A perfect long weekend retreat. A stones throw from everything Hyams has to offer. We would definitely stay again.
Beautiful and clean, great spot, loved everything about it! A bit smaller than I expected initially but plenty of space for 2. Turned the tv on briefly and found there wasn’t any reception, but a bbq and sitting on the balcony was more fun and what we came for anyway. Thoroughly enjoyed and was sad to leave.
Picture perfect
Emma9 - 9th June 2020We stayed here over Queens Birthday long weekend and had the best time. The cottage is right across from the beach access and you can see the water from it and hear the waves crashing. The cottage has everything you need and was very comfortable and clean. Highly recommend!
The perfect relaxing beach escape
PaulG - 4th February 2020Where to start, loved our morning cuppa on the deck overlooking the ocean and the occasional visit from the wildlife. Loved the quaint, cozy, very clean, and beautifully decorated cottage. If I had to give negative feedback the only thing would be the tv reception wasn't always good.
adorable cottage
jade - 4th February 2020The cottages are so adorable and cute, however much smaller than we anticipated and I have to say overpriced. Having said that, the cottages are right opposite the beach and perfectly positioned in a wonderful spot. We had a lovely time - thank you
Clean and perfect
Anonymous - 19th November 2019The cottage was exactly as per the photos and we were extremely happy with the cleanliness of the property. The wide wooden floors boards were just beautiful, perfect stay for a couple.
Beautiful location
Moocow - 15th October 2018Quaint cottage, well appointed and comfortable....wonderful beaches with crystal waters and sand and bird life in abundance. A very restful place to recharge!
Perfecr escape
LBAB - 9th October 2018Looking for a cute beachside getaway with the husband we stumbled across this place. What a beautiful little cottage!! It has all the creature comforts you need, set just metres away from the most stunning beach and is so cosy and perfect for a mini getaway! Everything from booking to the keys were a breeze... making our weekend break even better than we had imagined
Cute cottage
Cassie - 13th June 2018Overall cottage layout and location were perfect. Bed was comfortable and showers were hot. Only down fall was very poor tv reception and the cabin not having DVD selection. I feel most holiday places these days will have digital tv/Netflix/Fox etc. I completely understand that is not an option due to the area. However the old school dvds would have sufficed. Especially as the only rental kios in the Jervis Bay area was out of action so renting was not an option. No phone reception was nice for a change in this technology world, however the only down fall was being unable to plan things to do or know which direction to drive in. I fee the cottages would benefit from a guest book with attractions/maps/restaurants etc. I would defiantly return to these lovely cottages. I would just be more prepared next time with things to do - as static tv and no phone reception on raining days is not super fun
Wonderful Cottages
Frank - 10th December 2017The cottages are perfect for couples, quiet, cosy and everything most people would need are supplied for relaxing days. The sound of waves, birds and peaceful location were just perfect.
Beautiful Cottages
Cristina - 28th February 2017WOW what a beautiful cottage plus location ! My husband and I had fantastic time, we were so relaxed by the time we had left. We will be coming back for sure and going to try make an annual holiday at Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages. I would highly recommend this place to anyone !! :) :)
Relaxing but isolated
PeterClark - 9th February 2017Very lovely cottage for 2 night stay during hot weather. Without air-conditioning the nights were very hot (ceiling fans only)which made sleep difficult. Very isolated with poor mobile phone reception and no wi-fi. Local cafe (only shop in town) provides a nice breakfast, however it closes at 3pm so nothing available for dinner. Beaches are lovely and pristine. Jervis Bay area could do with a few more up-market eating areas.
Cute Cottage
TrentM - 26th October 2016We enjoyed the cottage, it was neat and clean and close to the beach. With the poor mobile phone reception in the area it would have been nice if there was WiFi provided.
Great stay
Chris - 27th September 2016Very nice, relaxing and well appointed cottage. Kangaroo just outside the balcony on our stay as well. Very close to beach. Would stay again
PERFECT!
Caroline - 29th March 2016Meticulously restored cottages. Everything about them was absolutely beautiful. Perfect location across the road from the beach and kiosk!
Pefect Beach Cottages
ITW1 - 14th March 2016Really relaxing place to stay. Clean, compact, great view of beach. Brought gourmet food and wine with us so spent every evening on the balcony.
Beautiful cottages, stunning location
Nina - 21st February 2016Peaceful, relaxed and charming getaway. Lovely location with plenty of amenities at the cottage Stunning
Living in an aviary
Terri - 30th January 2016Beautiful cottages with views of the water and sitting on the balcony with the array of gorgeous birds. Bed was comfy and it was very clean and well kept.
Peaceful & very relaxing Location
cathy - 30th November 2015Loved our 5 days here. Waking up to the amazing array of bird life & beach view from balcony. Beaches are a plenty with the amazing white sand. Only tiny downside is going out to dinner is a 15 min car ride to Huskisson.
Clean, quaint and perfectly located
Ian - 21st September 2015We stayed for 3 nights in Sept 2015 and we were very impressed! Our cottage was immaculately clean and that's what we noticed straight away. Lovely, quiet setting one street away from the beach. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay and we would definitely stay again!
Great location
Tracey - 14th September 2015Cottages were beautiful & comfortable , great location & very peaceful. Staff were very friendly. would love to have stayed longer
Jem by the beach
Anita027 - 13th September 2015These self contained cottages are located right on Hyams Beach, so location could not be better! The balcony has a view of both bush and ocean, making it ideal to spend the hours outside. The cottage inside is absolutely lovely-spacious enough for 2, yet also cosy and warm. Comfortable, clean and quiet, will definitely be staying again!
