Fabulous property and location
Perfect house for our annual girls long weekend away. Was very spacious and clean with great amenities, kitchen supplies, plus a nice little welcome gift. Beds were comfortable with good quality sheets and towels. Had everything we needed. Loved the beautiful beach and sunrise view, and being able to walk out the back door onto the beach. Host was very helpful and professional. We'll definitely be back thanks.

Thank you, we had a lovely stay. We are 5 primary school friends who meet up each year for a 3 night get together, we are now 70 years old & this is our 24th year. Shellharbour Waves had everything to make our stay wonderful. Beautiful clean house, comfortable beds & pillows, great location (couldn't get any closer to the beach!) Loved that we could open back gate & go for a walk along the public footpath. We had lots of laughs playing your Charades & Trivia games. Just loved it!

Perfect beach retreat!
We LOVED staying here! Debbie was fantastic! She responded quickly and was very helpful. The home was well equipped to cook our meals, play games, and our favorite going to the beach! The location is great for a morning jog or evening stroll along the walking path out the back gate. The beds were comfy. Three bathrooms made it easy for all of us to get ready. Dining on the deck was a great treat. We saw dolphins and a sea turtle from the deck. It was also fun to watch the surfers. Definitely would stay here again!!

The only downfall was the construction going on in front of the property (I know can't be helped by the property but otherwise a 5⭐️ ). Also a mirror in the front downstairs bedroom & hanging space in that room would be a great addition.

A 'Gals' Weekend Away @ this Beautiful House with Ocean Views!
Beautiful home located in Warilla/Shellharbour area with amazing ocean views and shops within close proximity. The Kitchen was very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed that the 'gas fireplace' was not functioning as advised. This would have been ideal as the weather was cooler than usual this time of the year and it rained a plenty. Also, the lock to the flyscreen sliding door was jammed....to the downstairs bedroom which faced the ocean.....we couldn't sleep with the glass sliding door open for fear that someone would break in during the night. How nice it would have been to have fallen asleep to the sound and breeze of the ocean! Besides that....a Relaxing weekend.

Wow! This stunning 4 bedroom house must be one of the best in Warilla. This property is a stones-throw from the beach with magnificent views of the ocean and beach from the large upstairs balcony. Thank you Debbie for being such wonderful host and thank you for the bottle of wine and packet of TimTams. What a lovely welcome. Thanks again Michele
