As you step into this enchanting space, the open kitchen and living area beckon with a French Provincial-inspired ambiance, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. This property caters for summer and winter getaways or family holidays and you will not be disappointed.

Wake up to the sunrise on the spacious east-facing balcony while eating breakfast, and if you are lucky enough to be treated to a natural spectacle of dolphins and whales. The backyard, complete with a glass fence and direct access to the cycle path and sandy beach, invites you to relax and explore the area. Enjoy the ambiance of winter warmth sitting around the marble gas fireplace or keep warm with the reverse cycle aircon throughout the property.

This enchanting 4-bedroom coastal haven effortlessly combines comfort, elegance with seaside allure and is perfect for the cooler winter months or enjoying the summer sunshine.

The heart of this coastal retreat lies in its open kitchen and living area, a space designed for both functionality and relaxation. As you step into this inviting area, the seamless connection to the balcony becomes evident, offering a captivating panorama of the ocean.

The well-appointed kitchen, equipped for culinary adventures, flows effortlessly into the living space. Large windows and glass doors flood the area with natural light, creating an airy and welcoming atmosphere. Imagine preparing delightful meals while still enjoying the company of those lounging in the living area.

Upstairs, you'll discover the epitome of comfort in the master room, boasting a king-size bed and a private ensuite. Adding to the convenience, there's a separate powder room upstairs, ensuring that your comfort and privacy are paramount.

The focal point downstairs is the inviting main bathroom, featuring a luxurious free-standing bath that beckons you to unwind and soak in tranquility. Moving through the space, the third bedroom awaits with two king single beds, a built-in wardrobe, and a shared ensuite. A direct connection to the outdoors enhances the charm of this room.
Practicality meets ease with an indoor laundry, equipped with a washing machine, dryer, iron, and ironing board.

Perfect beach break
Beautifully decorated property that comfortably accommodated our large adult family. I basically spent three days staring at the rolling waves on our doorstep. We were close to restuarants, shops etc, but you couldn't of found a better spot to eat than the upstairs balcony. The kitchen had everything you needed, there were cushions and blankets galore to make your stay comfortable, we could not have asked for more.

Fabulous property and location
Perfect house for our annual girls long weekend away. Was very spacious and clean with great amenities, kitchen supplies, plus a nice little welcome gift. Beds were comfortable with good quality sheets and towels. Had everything we needed. Loved the beautiful beach and sunrise view, and being able to walk out the back door onto the beach. Host was very helpful and professional. We'll definitely be back thanks.

Thank you, we had a lovely stay. We are 5 primary school friends who meet up each year for a 3 night get together, we are now 70 years old & this is our 24th year. Shellharbour Waves had everything to make our stay wonderful. Beautiful clean house, comfortable beds & pillows, great location (couldn't get any closer to the beach!) Loved that we could open back gate & go for a walk along the public footpath. We had lots of laughs playing your Charades & Trivia games. Just loved it!

Perfect beach retreat!
We LOVED staying here! Debbie was fantastic! She responded quickly and was very helpful. The home was well equipped to cook our meals, play games, and our favorite going to the beach! The location is great for a morning jog or evening stroll along the walking path out the back gate. The beds were comfy. Three bathrooms made it easy for all of us to get ready. Dining on the deck was a great treat. We saw dolphins and a sea turtle from the deck. It was also fun to watch the surfers. Definitely would stay here again!!

The only downfall was the construction going on in front of the property (I know can't be helped by the property but otherwise a 5⭐️ ). Also a mirror in the front downstairs bedroom & hanging space in that room would be a great addition.

A 'Gals' Weekend Away @ this Beautiful House with Ocean Views!
Beautiful home located in Warilla/Shellharbour area with amazing ocean views and shops within close proximity. The Kitchen was very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed that the 'gas fireplace' was not functioning as advised. This would have been ideal as the weather was cooler than usual this time of the year and it rained a plenty. Also, the lock to the flyscreen sliding door was jammed....to the downstairs bedroom which faced the ocean.....we couldn't sleep with the glass sliding door open for fear that someone would break in during the night. How nice it would have been to have fallen asleep to the sound and breeze of the ocean! Besides that....a Relaxing weekend.
