Whale House - Warilla Beach across the road

This exceptional two-storey residence provides everything you could desire for a restful and enjoyable stay. The lower level boasts a games room with a pool table and air hockey, leading seamlessly to an outdoor space with a dining table and lounges. Ample seating invites relaxation, whether gathered around the fire pit on chilly winter evenings or enjoying a barbecue on the top balcony with additional seating and a swinging chair. Conveniently situated near Warilla surf beach, only a 2-minute walk away and lifeguard-patrolled during the season, the property is also close to local attractions, rainforests, Reddall Reserve on Lake Illawarra, local swimming spots and beaches, restaurants & café’s, shopping, and so much more.

Inside, a smart TV graces the spacious lounge area, complemented by mounted TVs in the bedrooms. The open-plan layout features a large air-conditioned lounge and dining area with abundant space for your family. The fully equipped kitchen includes a Thermomix, Aldi Coffee Pod Machine, and various other appliances, along with a washing machine/dryer and iron/board. Complimentary soaps, hand wash, shampoo/conditioner, and a hair dryer add to the convenience. The dining table comfortably seats 8, with a highchair available for use.

Portacot and sheets can be provided upon request (subject to availability), eliminating the need to bring additional items for a comfortable stay.

With four charming bedrooms (three with queen beds and the fourth with two single beds) and three spacious bathrooms, including an en-suite with dual shower heads and double basins, the professionally laundered linen and towels contribute to a luxurious experience.

For safety, the property is equipped with a fire blanket, extinguisher, and first aid kit. A digital lock ensures easy access without the hassle of key collection.

Explore the coastal and lakeside bike paths by bringing your own bikes and find maps of the Shellharbour area's bike paths in the provided compendium. The thoughtful touches throughout the property reflect the owner's commitment to ensuring your stay is enjoyable and memorable. Rest assured, this house will exceed your expectations.

Very spacious and well looked after property. Very clean and well set out
A great place for families, the games room was good entertainment. Lovely setting outside for sitting out and eating/drinking. The BBQ needed to be bigger and maybe better downstairs. A small fridge in the games area would have been good too. No complaints we were very impressed with the speed and easy way the issue with the oven was dealt with

Wonderful house for family and friends getaway!
Spacious house for two families with teenage children, a short stroll to the beach and walking trails. We particularly loved the outdoor fire, pool table, large TVs and separate living areas. We will definitely return for our next trip to Jamberoo Action Park, which is a short 15 drive away!

Wonderful location & space for a get together
The house is well furnished & provides all the essential & more. Please note; you need to provides your own beach towels. Only set back is air conditioner is only in the lounge-dining- kitchen area and is not powerful enough to cool the place down on over 30 C day. Ceiling fans are in the room but on days over 30C the bedrooms & downstairs are very warm even with open windows & doors. No screen on the downstairs bedroom so we were eaten alive by mossies.

Lovely stay
The photos online do not do this house justice, as it is even better in reality. We had 2 families (8 people in total) and there was tons of space and many great games of hide and seek. Brilliant touch of having a pool table and air hockey which kept adults and kids entertained. Great house

Wonderful beach holiday
The house was perfect for our group of 8 (2 adults & 2 children in each family). The place is lovely and open planned with 4 good bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The house has everything supplied for a wonderful week. Only a minutes walk to the beach as well as some lovely bike paths and walks close by. We all enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the house to others. Debbie from the property management company was excellent in her communication and very helpful.

Great three day stay
Fantastically equipped property with lovely design features and lots of different spaces for a large group to spread out and play pool, cook, talk, read or watch tv. Great place for two families with slightly older kids. Nice scenic drive to Berry. Would bring bikes next time to enjoy the coastal walk/bike path. Excellent house.
