Best choice for an Illawarra visit

Villa was very clean and tidy. Well equipped and nicely decorated. Quiet and private with separate access. Nice yard area and garden and fully fenced for fur babies. Hosts were friendly and helpful and checkin was easy and everything was ready for our arrival. Property is very close to parks, playgrounds, beach. Overall a lovely option for a stay in Illawarra.

Great location

Unit was exceptionally well presented and very clean. Had a modern seaside feel about the decor. Comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen. Only minor detraction is the size of the living area. We were grandparents holidaying with an 8 and 6 year old and we’re a bit short of space. However with so much to do in the area we weren’t at the unit much during the day. Fantastic playground just a block away. Kids loved it there. Can highly recommend this property for a small family. Thanks John and Jo.

Perfect location for our little family. The owners made check-in and check-out very simple, and we were able to come and go as we pleased without concern. And, the beautiful welcome hamper was a welcomed touch. Pantry staples were supplied, along with bathroom accessories saving us lots of unpacking for our one night stop over. I highly recommend this property.
