Welcome to Wattle, your tranquil escape just 90 minutes from Sydney and only a 2-minute stroll from the sand and sea.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was especially good as our friends had rented Lilli Pilli next door. It is a great location and well equipped kitchen.
A lovely property, in a beautiful area. Nestled in bush land. Really close to beach and perfect for dogs. Also close to Central coast amenities. Cheese factory (wyong) and Chocolate factory (west gosford)The garden is the winner, soft outside lighting with BBQ and firepit.Our host was easily contactable and quick to help.Definitely would recommend
The cottage was lovely, plenty of space, clean, short walk to the beach - it had everything we needed and even a back shed that had kayak and bikes that my kids loved! Highly recommend.We will book again

Great place, very close to the beach and cafe. Plenty of entertainment options of games, shed full of equipment and a fire pit etc. Excellent communication and directions from the owners.
What a wonderful weekend getaway spot. Just what we needed to reconnect as a family including our fur baby. Marshmallow at the fire pit followed by some late night board games! So close to the picturesque Pearl beach and a shed full of things to keep big and little kids entertained. All communication with the owners was helpful and they were very accommodating with personal request.
Highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back!
Property itself was as described but cleaners had not checked BBQ was clean and there were hidden dirty plates in the cupboards. Owner advised and I feel confident that this will be addressed. Fabulous outdoor area. Very close to beach.
We were very happy with this house. The owners were very obliging and communication was excellent.
The house was clean and well maintained . It was lovely to sit on the back deck and get lost in the ambience of the wildlife and fauna. A very peaceful and relaxing weekend .
Clean, compact, comfortable and convenient. This property is great for a small group stay. Weather was atrocious the weekend we stayed so we didn’t get to use the backyard or the bikes, outdoor games and kayaks but great that those are available for guests!
The 4year old in our group looooved the bunk bed room.
House was nice - has everything you need. Awesome garden, kids loved the fire pit!
The kids bedroom was access by the front door which was only concern - need to make sure none escape during the night :)
Very quiet and beautiful area. Had a great stay!
We stayed three nights at this property and loved it! It was the perfect place and location for a beach holiday. It is clean and comfortable with a backyard and is just a very short comfortable walk to the beach. We loved it! Thank you.
We fell in love with this house and Pearl Beach as soon as we saw it. A extraordinarily serene enclave of paradise for our two young children and Cavoodle to explore and enjoy nature. Locals here have an environmental and sustainability focus, with a local arboretum, beautiful beach, lookouts and nature walks.
Why they chose this property
Everything is within walking distance, including the beach, local cafe, general store, and fine dining restaurant Pearls on the Beach.
To the south of the beach are calm waters and ocean pool for kids to swim in. To the north of the beach is a 24 hour dog friendly beach that our Cavoodle loves doing laps of.
It is the perfect destination for guests wanting a relaxing family holiday within easy reach of Sydney.
