ALONG THE WAY
🚗 Driving Down from Sydney? Make a Day of the Scenic Coast!
Your holiday begins the moment you hit the road! If you're driving down from Sydney, we highly recommend taking the scenic coastal route via the world-famous Grand Pacific Drive. Start by winding through the majestic Royal National Park before pulling over at Bald Hill Lookout to watch the hang gliders. From there, you'll cruise over the iconic, photogenic Sea Cliff Bridge. The route is packed with incredible pit stops—you can meet the koalas at Symbio Wildlife Park, grab fish and chips by the twin Wollongong Lighthouses at Flagstaff Hill, or stretch your legs exploring the beautiful Nan Tien Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere. If you're looking to win the teens over early, an action-packed detour to Jamberoo Action Park or the Illawarra Fly Treetop Walk is a guaranteed hit before you even check in. Once you arrive and settle in, you'll be just moments away from the pristine snorkeling at Bass Point Reserve, Bushrangers Bay, and the calm waters of Lake Illawarra.

Guest access
You will have exclusive access to the entire home and all its amenities, including the spacious living areas, game room, and a fully equipped kitchen, is all yours to enjoy.
You'll have plenty of parking with a large driveway that can fit up to four cars. The garage also doubles as a game room and can fit one car if the ping-pong table is folded up. For guests with a boat or caravan, our large front gate provides easy access to the backyard, or you can park on the grassy area out front. With all this space, parking is never a problem.

Other things to note
* NEARBY SCHOOL: We are located near Shell Cove Public School where the road gets busy for approximately 15mins during school drop off and pick up time (9am and 3pm) on school days.
* CCTV Camera: For your security, a CCTV camera is installed in the front yard, covering the public entrance area. Your privacy inside the home and in private outdoor spaces is always respected.

Hi, I’m Liza! Born overseas, I’m so grateful to have called South Coast home for 15 years. I live here with my family of 4 & our 20yo cat. We love exploring new places, and those travels have shaped how I host. I know a clean, thoughtful home is the foundation of a great trip. I’m obsessed with detail & constantly adding new touches so you feel truly cared for. I’ve always got your back & am just a message away for local tips or any help. I can’t wait to host you exactly how I love to be hosted!
