About this property
Rawsons Escape Country Comfort by Coledale Beach
Just steps from the golden sands of Coledale Beach, this laid-back home is made for soaking up seaside living. Inside, a sunlit lounge invites you to unwind, while the rustic kitchen is fully equipped for effortless meals. Outside, a lush backyard and covered patio with a pizza oven and BBQ make alfresco dining a highlight. With Coledale Station just 450 metres away and the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge a short drive from home, it's the ideal base for scenic adventures along the Wollongong coastline.
Tucked behind a white picket fence, this single-storey, older home offers relaxed, beachside living, surrounded by palms and native trees. Inside, the bright living room invites you to stretch out on vintage timber chairs, catch a film, or sink into the bean bags by the sunlit window with a guitar in hand—perfect for switching off with a book and a cup of tea.
Prepare meals in the rustic kitchen, complete with raw timber benchtops and open shelving. It’s fully stocked with essentials including a gas stove, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, full-size fridge, and pantry basics. Cook indoors or prep a meal to enjoy in the covered outdoor patio. This spacious, sheltered area features a long timber dining table with bench seating—perfect for lingering meals with friends. Fire up the built-in pizza oven for a fun twist on dinner, or keep it simple with the BBQ. After dining, unwind in the lush backyard, where mature trees offer shade and the open lawn invites play or picnics.
The bedrooms are comfortably simple, each with leafy outlooks. The primary bedroom offers a queen bed and a cosy reading corner with a wicker armchair, perfect for quiet moments. The second bedroom offers another queen bed, while the third includes two single beds, ideal for kids or friends. The bathroom features a combined shower and bath and essential toiletries. A laundry nook with a washer and drying rack adds everyday convenience. In the backyard, there is a rotary clothesline for easy drying in the sun.
Stay comfortable year-round with split system air conditioning and heating in the dining and living areas, supported by ceiling fans, portable fans, and a portable heater for flexible climate control throughout. While there’s no on-site parking, free all-day street parking is available nearby.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
This home is perfectly positioned for beach lovers and nature seekers. Just a three-minute stroll brings you to the golden sands of Coledale Beach, ideal for swimming and surfing. On the last Sunday of the month, the vibrant Coledale Market pops up nearby, offering local produce, art, and handmade goods. A six-minute walk leads to Saltie Dog, a beloved local café known for its famous crepes. Drive seven minutes to the Sea Cliff Bridge, a spectacular coastal stretch with sweeping ocean views. Within 17 minutes, you can reach rainforest tracks like the challenging Sublime Point climb, with panoramic views of the Illawarra coastline, or the serene Kellys Falls, perfect for bushwalks and birdwatching. Coledale Station, only 450 metres away, provides direct rail access to Sydney and Wollongong.
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.
