Great apartment with everything you could need for a lovely stay. The arrival instructions were clear although I did receive two different PIN numbers for the keys but no issue once I realised and tried the different pin in the communication. Everything was clean and the decor was lovely.Barbara was a very responsive host. The location could not be better with a 1 minute walk to the beach and 10mins to shops. I would highly recommend this apartment!

Nice clean apartment with all amenities just a 2min walk to the beach, pool and playground and 8min walk into town for an abundance of food and supermarket options. Thirroul was a pleasant surprise, only an hour or so from Sydney. We usually drive straight passed, but so glad we had our little January south coast getaway here. No complaints, just fun memories.

Apartment was clean & tidy, bed was comfy. A TV in the main bedroom would be convenient as there was only about 2 channels on the lounge room TV, but that’s not a massive downside. Overall was a good stay.

So close to the beach as well as everything we needed. Easy access to transportation eg. buses and train. Lots of excellent cafes and restaurants that were an easy walking distance. The host was very amiable and answered all our questions very quickly. Honest to goodness, our most wonderful experience with VRBO to date. We would, 100%, stay here again. Excellent

There was no view of the beach but it was very close. The town with restaurants and grocery store was very convenient. We arrived at night and were not familiar with how to locate Australian apartment addresses but we eventually found the place and the checkin was problem-free. We appreciated having a washing machine in the unit. A clothes dryer would have been nice but we managed well. We don't know when we will be back to the Wollongong area, but if we come back, we would easily stay here again.
