About this property

Quiet coastal sanctuary

Enjoy the relaxed central coast lifestyle. Leave the car in the garage. 2 minutes walk to the water, there s a coffee shop at the end of the street and it's a 10 minutes flat walk to the supermarkets, restaurants and cafes at Umina and Ettalong beaches.

Light and airy. Large open living space. Luxury bedding. Ducted air-conditioning throughout. Designer appliances, coffee maker (with pods supplied), kitchen well stocked with pots and pans, crockery and glassware and basic pantry supplies (such as tea, coffee, olive oil, food wrap).

Large living space with balcony with filtered water views.

Ensuite and walk in robe in the main bedroom. 2nd bathroom downstairs and guest WC upstairs. Laundry with washer and dryer and outside clothes line.

Separate study set up for working from home with desk, monitor and ergonomic chair rated for use for 8+ hours.

Surrounded by trees, very quiet and peaceful.

Main bedroom with queen sized bed. Other two bedrooms double bed each. All linen (other than beach towels) supplied.

Body boards and surfboards available for guest use.

Please note there are a set of stairs into the property and the bedrooms and living spaces are on separate floors so the property won’t suit someone who is not able to negotiate stairs.

The property has a grassed yard and covered outside deck. I am happy for guests to bring a pet provided that you advise me when booking and the pet is not allowed onto the furniture.

Check in is via a lock box at the property. I will email you access and other details a day or two before your check in.

Happy to answer any other questions about the property or local area.

3 night stay with friends.
Very clean, large property for 6 adults. Everything we needed was provided. We are 3 older couples and two of our party had had recent surgery and found the stairs a bit of a challenge so just be aware that there are two sets of stairs into the property totalling about 30 steps. Short drive to restaurants,and shops.

Peaceful, spacious, great location, great for families!
We had a great time at Ettalong. The Apartment was beautiful filled with luxurious linen, quality brand new appliances. Lovely fit out in a very peaceful spot. The beach was amazing and only a 2 minute walk! Dealing with Catherine the owner was so hassle free and lovely, very considerate and responsive. The beds were so comfy and the little extras in the pantry were very helpful. The house was very clean!! Can't wait to book again.

Nice getaway with the family & labrador
Nice clean house to take a break away from home! It was very clean and loved the fact that we could take our dog. He loved it and really enjoyed the little outdoor area outside on the grass. The walk to the off leash dog beach was a 5 min walk. The walk to the town centre and other little shops was too far for us to walk, so we just drove. Nice big kitchen was great as we love to cook, being Italian :) Great that the host provided coffee pods, herbs, oils, paper towels, sugar, salts, etc. Thank you for a great stay!

About the host

Why they chose this property

I love the location because it is quiet, but amenities such as supermarkets and restaurants are easily accessible.

It's an easy 80 minute drive from Sydney but turning off at Kariong and driving through bushland it feels like the city is a long way away.

The townhouse is situated where the ocean starts to become a bay. Swimming out the front is very safe, with very small waves, but it's only 5 minutes drive or 10 minutes walk along the water to a surf beach which is great for kids and beginners.

The property itself is spacious and has everything I would want in a holiday home or permanent residence. I chose this townhouse in the block because it is private, with filtered water views through gum trees. It also has an L shaped yard which is suitable for pets as well as a double garage so plenty of room for surfboards.
