We are a family of four with a 2 bedroom cottage in Thirroul, one of the northern suburbs of Wollongong. Only 1hr south of Sydney on the lovely Coal Coast.
The Space
We have a large deck with a daybed and ocean views. A variety of birds visit the deck as we have a large block with adjoining bush. There is a queen bed in one room and a bunk bed in the second room. One bathroom and a second bathroom in the laundry under the house if required. The kitchen has been newly renovated and is an absolute pleasure to cook in. Lots of gadgets including a coffee machine and air fryer. We have an indoor cat, Squiggy, who would be in attendance. She is a Cornish Rex (low allergy) and loves attention. She is extremely tolerant with children. We also have a Pygmy bearded dragon and a fish which require minimal care, but we can relocate them if preferred. We also have a rather rustic outdoor bath, as well as a bouldering wall under the house.
Guest Access
Stairs to access both front and back doors. Off-street parking for 2-3 vehicles.
