About this property
Rockpool Escape: A Coastal Refresh with Balcony
Stroll 15 minutes to the beach or marina for easy shopping at the Town Centre or some delicious seafood at Waterfront Tavern from this sunny studio in the heart of Shell Cove. Explore Killalea State Park for world-class surfing or go rock fishing down by the ocean. Thoughtfully styled for couples or solo travellers, enjoy complete privacy and a balcony capturing natural sea breezes. Kick back in open plan living, cook up a meal in the full kitchen, or catch up on washing with in-unit laundry.
Enjoying a peaceful address just a 15-minute walk from the water's edge in the suburb of Shell Cove, this lovely studio offers a bright and spacious hideaway with easy access to the best of the Illawarra. It has a contemporary design with a private balcony, filling the space with beautiful natural light and fresh breezes.
Upon arrival, you will ascend a flight of stairs to access the studio. Free flowing interiors are clad in warm timber with coastal accents and thoughtful furnishings. There is a queen-sized bed set with side tables and reading lights, along with plenty of wardrobe space for your belongings. Portable fans and heaters keep things comfortable no matter what season you’re travelling.
A neat, compact kitchen is well equipped to prepare a light meal at home with a stovetop, microwave and fridge. Sit down at the dining table or use this space for setting up a laptop if you’re on a working holiday. Kick back on plush sofa seating, converting it into a sofa bed should you need to accommodate an additional guest. Refresh after a day on the beach with a modern bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower, and make use of internal laundry facilities including a washing machine, separate basin and iron, adding to your daily convenience.
Free street parking is available but can be limited.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire studio above the locked-up garage to yourself. Guests will not have access to the garage. Please make yourself at home!
The charming coastal town of Shellharbour sits just 25 km from central Wollongong and a 90-minute drive south of Sydney. The area is known for its scenic foreshore walks, excellent beaches and stunning national parks. Try stand-up paddle boarding on Lake Illawarra, surfing at Warilla Beach and enjoy a dip in the picturesque Beverley Whitfield Pool. Bushrangers Bay is a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkelling, while those travelling with kids can get their thrills at Jamberoo Action Park. There are plenty of restaurants in the area, including fine diner Branches Restaurant, Relish on Addison and Nardi’s Italian.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
