For those wanting to be more active you can cycle/walk the dedicated cycling and walking path winding from Stanwell Park around the coast all the way to Wollongong or head to Cawleys Trail for a bit of mountain biking!

Beautiful house in beautiful town
Really enjoyed our stay, great spot for swimming at the beach, lovely large pool in backyard, plenty of wildlife, fishing, walks, cafes. Our dog loved it too and there was a safe fenced yard for him when we went out. Timed on leash dog walking at the beach before 9am and after 6pm. Otherwise the walking was a bit steep and hilly for my elderly husky. Kids had a great time snorkelling and swimming at the beach. House had everything we needed (including for BBQing and shopping bags), beds were very comfortable.

Choose a verandah and commence relaxing
Well appointed house with comfort and character. The pool was sparklingly refreshing and the beach a short walk down the road. The back verandah was perfect for watching the local wildlife. Great location in a beautiful part of the world. What else do you need to relax and recharge?

Christmas staycation
After cancellation from our original booking, we were left looking for an extremely last minute Christmas staycation. We found this house and were delighted with our stay! Staff could not have been more helpful in arranging our stay, and the house was quirky, beautiful, homely, spacious close to beach (not that it was needed with the great pool!) and very well-equipped! Perfect for our stay.
