About this property
Bally Escape—Cottage Serenity in a Scenic Village
Escape to this charming Balgownie getaway, perfect for up to four guests. Bally Escape offers a peaceful setting with cosy living spaces and stunning escarpment views. Start your day with a coffee on the porch and unwind in the spacious living room. Situated near local cafes, shops, Mt Keira and Wollongong, it’s the ideal spot for a relaxing weekend or extended stay. With a private entrance and easy parking, this spot is perfect for unwinding while staying connected to all the local highlights.
Step inside Bally Escape and feel instantly at home. Entering through the backdoor, the dining area greets you, with a fully equipped kitchen just beyond. This is followed by the living room, which provides a cosy spot to relax after a day of exploring. Both bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds, and the bathroom comes stocked with the essentials, including a hair dryer, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. There’s also a dedicated office space for those who need to catch up on work away from the hustle and bustle.
Outside, you’ll find an inviting porch where you can dine al fresco with views of the escarpment. The single-level layout makes moving around the space easy, and the private laundry just outside ensures you can enjoy longer stays. Parking is simple, with 24/7 on-street parking and space in the carport. Whether you’re here to relax or explore, Bally Escape offers a comfortable and convenient base.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Balgownie is a peaceful suburb with plenty to offer. Take a stroll to the local Bally Hotel for a casual meal or explore the nearby cafes and shops along the main street. Nature enthusiasts will love the proximity to Mt Keira, which offers incredible hiking trails and breathtaking views. If you’re looking for a bit more action, Wollongong’s vibrant city centre is just a short drive away, complete with beaches, galleries and restaurants.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
