LOCATION, LOCATION!

When swimming at an Ocean Beach, it is important to always swim between the red and yellow flags. Most beaches on the NSW coast only have these flags during school holidays. Warilla Beach is patrolled for seven months a year (October to April, 7 days a week) which makes it one of the safest on the NSW Coast.
Bring your bikes or skates. The bike/walking track, located 20m from the front door, goes for km’s to the North and South, just fantastic for those evening walks.

Most water sports can be found at Warilla beach, Lake Illawarra or nearby. For example: Learn to Surf, learn to Stand-up Paddleboard, rent a boat, or even get your Scuba divers license.

Non-water sports include: Beach walks, Bushwalks, Jamberoo Action Park, Sky diving, Horse riding…there are so many activities to do.

So many things to do such as:
* Beach BBQ and Picnic Areas * Beach Shower * Opposite large Grass Reserve
* Walking/Bike track that follows Warilla Beach and continues for many kilometers in both directions * Easy walk to several Children's Playgrounds
* Explore islands
* Netted Swimming area in Lake Illawarra that is ideal for children and inexperienced swimmers - * Warilla Beach is a well-known local spot for Beginning to Intermediate Surfers, more advanced Surfing within easy walking * Snorkeling in the Lake
* Beach/lake Canoeing * Beach and Lake Fishing * Only 90 min drive from Sydney CBD * Public Transport: Train, Bus and Taxi * Short drive to Jamberoo Fun Park
Killalea National Park *Kiama Blow Hole

No car is needed. There are regular trains departing Sydney hourly, and there are buses from Oak flats railway station to Warilla. In fact, many locals choose to take the train rather than drive to Sydney. Warilla Grove Shopping Centre (Aldi, Woolworths) is close by.

Special Weekly/Monthly rates available during non peak seasons. Contact us before booking for the rates.

Please note:
For longer term stays beyond one month (4 weeks) if there is excessive electricity use, a claim will be made through VRBO/Stayz for reimbursement for user usage for the time of staying at property.

We will deem what is claimable and excessive for the term of the stay.
Illawarra Holiday Accommodation will reach out to guest BEFORE making claim through VRBO/Stayz to discuss with guest with the expectation this can be sorted out in the first instance.

Little Lakes Location
Ideal location, however the property is aged and could do with furniture freshen up. All preloved furniture 90's style. All Double beds when Queens would fit as good room sizes however downstairs bedroom mattress was hard. Upstairs was soft and sunk into the middle. The towels were old and scratchy. Kitchen supplies well covered Needs hooks in bathrooms to hand towels. Internet patchy and TV signal drops out. Overall a premium price but not a premium experience.
