This cosy, single-level stay provides a tranquil base while you explore the Central Coast's seaside neighbourhood gems of Shelly Beach, Long Jetty and Bateau Bay to name a few. Guests can enjoy a light-filled living and dining space with a fresh and inviting colour scheme, complete with a comfy sofa and armchair to kick back and relax with loved ones. When you're not sampling the local cafes and eateries, cook up meals in the well-equipped kitchen, enjoy a casual bite at the four-seater table or head outside, where a tranquil dining area offers a deck and BBQ nestled amidst the private, leafy garden. Two spacious and serene bedrooms sleep four guests, both featuring a queen-size bed, mirrored built-ins and a ceiling fan. A bright and contemporary bathroom offers all the essentials – soap, shampoo, conditioner and a hairdryer – as well as a walk-in shower. Additional conveniences include Wi-Fi, split-system air-conditioning, and a washing machine. There is also on-street free parking. 50AUD charge applies for guests bringing pets.

Toowoon Bay is a hidden gem on the Central Coast, situated 20 min north of Terrigal and just over an hour south of Newcastle - the perfect base to live like a local while exploring the area's attractions. Toowoon Bay Beach is an easy 4-minute walk, a picturesque horseshoe-shaped beach that is protected and perfect for families. It is a popular spot for snorkelling, as well as a great location to watch for whales and dolphins. You'll also find a boat ramp, undercover tables, a BBQ area, and plenty of grassy picnic areas. Wyrrabalong National Park is a 10-minute drive, where a stunning patch of coastal rainforest with numerous scenic trails offers opportunities for bushwalking and birdwatching. There are also picnic areas and lookouts to enjoy an afternoon immersed in nature. Other nearby attractions include Shelly Beach Golf Club, The Entrance Ocean Baths, and Norah Head Lighthouse.
