SHELLHARBOUR BEACH COTTAGE-REAR GATE ONTO BEACH, FRONT GATE WALK TO NEW MARINA

SHELLHARBOUR BEACH COTTAGE - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
BACK GATE OPENS ONTO BEACH RESERVE AND FRONT GATE WALK TO SHELL COVE YACHT MARINA.
CAFES, RESTAURANTS, TAVERN, PLAYGROUND, PUB, OCEAN POOL - ALL JUST A STROLL AWAY IN EACH DIRECTION.
MOST CENTRAL PROPERTY TO WALK EVERYWHERE.
PLUS FLAGS AND LIFEGUARDS IN SUMMER JUST OUT THE BACK GATE.
This is not a big modern house in suburbia. This is a true Beach Cottage, full of character.
Simple, but super comfortable with most things you would want. Indoor comfort with lounge seating for 8 and outdoor shaded deck comfort with chairs, dining and firepit. Fenced yard for kids and dogs.
A 3 bedroom newly clad cottage on Shellharbour South Beach. Out the back gate is the beach reserve, just walk across the grass or small beach car park to the beach and flags (in summer) or stroll to the olympic size pool and cafes, restaurants and playground, and Shellcove Marina.

*Relax on the new timber deck with new BBQ under winter sun or shaded pergola in summer. All the furnishings are relatively new. It is fully fenced, so safe for children and small dogs.
*The house consists of 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen and dining area and a lounge area and outside deck and pergola. The main bedroom and 2nd bedrooms have a Queen bed. The 3rd bedroom, the Kids Room, you walk through to reach the bathroom and main bedroom. It has 2 Single beds and Bunks. (The top bunk is best suited to sleep a child, or small adult.)
*All the lower beds, 2 queens and 3 singles, and made up for you with FRESH LINEN AND TOWELS. Doonas, pillows and extra blankets are provided, as well as some electric blankets on the Queen beds.

*The laundry is outside with washing machine and an extra "tropical" shower and toilet, perfect for after the beach. The kitchen has dishwasher and all cooking facilities.

LOCATION
*Shellharbour is 1 1/2 hours south of Sydney, situated just north of Kiama.
*It is a small waterfront village with lots of shops and outdoor cafes and restaurants. There is a boat harbour for launching boats, and breakwaters for fishing, and the new Shell Cove Yacht Marina, shops and Tavern at the other end of our street opening 2022.
*There is plenty of shopping with large grocery and wonderful seafood market at Shellharbour Square, just 8 minutes drive away.
*There is an olympic size salt water rock pool, also just a short walk from the house.
*For those without a car, it is easy to take the train from Sydney Central to Shellharbour Junction (just 6 minutes in a taxi). Some of the Clubs in the area provide free transport in the evening for dinner etc.

LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
*Apart from the swimming and fishing, there are famous surf beaches nearby at The Farm as well as great scuba diving at Bass Point, just 5 minutes down the road.
*There is a boat harbour only 5 minutes around the corner, for launching a boat, and plenty of off street parking for a boat.
*The closest supermarket is Woolworths in Shell Cove.
*There is a small local IGA supermarket, but Shellharbour Square is a very large shopping centre, only 10 minutes drive away. They also have a wonderful fish market, definately worth a look if you enjoy seafood.
*For some sightseeing further afield, Berry, Minnamurra Falls, Kiama Blow Hole, "Babe" country, Jamberoo Fun Park and the Southern Highland towns of Bowral and Robertson make a lovely days outing.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE A NO NOISY PARTY POLICY.
The house is in a quiet neighbourhood, with permanent neighbours, so no "bucks" party or "schoolies" bookings accepted.
We are best suited to families or just a few friends having a nice week away at the beach.

great location
Great location so nice to walk to everywhere. We loved the walking tracks and not having to take the car out once. The house was as per the images and a very casual setting. It wasn't as clean as we are used to and felt it was a little overpriced for the furnishings. A new bed in the main bedroom (front room) is needed as you hear the springs popping as you move. Overall very relaxing place.
