Welcome to Murranar Beach Retreat
There’s a moment every guest talks about — stepping outside on your first morning, coffee in hand, salt air hitting you, the sound of the ocean just metres away. That’s Murranar. A place where the pace slows, the water calls, and your dog is just as welcome as you are.
Tucked on Murranar Road in Towradgi — one of Wollongong’s most loved coastal pockets — this 1-bedroom retreat is designed for guests who want the full coastal experience without compromise. Whether you’re here for a long weekend with your partner, a family escape, a workcation with the dog, or a solo reset, Murranar delivers.
The Space
Bedroom
A generous queen bed dressed in quality linen sits at the heart of the retreat. Blackout blinds, a ceiling fan, and a smart TV ensure you sleep well and wake on your own terms. The room is calm, uncluttered, and designed for rest.
Living Area
The lounge is your base camp — a comfortable sofa that converts to a double bed (sleeping a further 2 guests), smart TV with streaming, and a dining table for meals in or planning your next adventure. The space flows naturally to the private courtyard, so fresh air is always an arm’s reach away.
Kitchen
Fully equipped for everything from a quick breakfast to a proper dinner. Coffee machine, toaster, full cookware, stovetop, oven, microwave, and all the essentials. No dishwasher, but everything you need is here. Wollongong’s best cafes and restaurants are also a short walk away.
Bathroom
Full bathroom with shower, bath, hairdryer, and quality toiletries provided. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Courtyard
Your own private outdoor space — seating, fresh air, and a quiet corner to decompress when you’re not at the beach. Perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, or letting your dog stretch out after a big walk.
