Ideally situated a four-minute walk from the golden sands of Toowoon Bay Beach and steps to the nearby village hub — we love Flour & Co's coffee — and nature walks, this cosy cottage is the ultimate Central Coast getaway. Air-conditioned throughout for year-round comfort, enjoy light and airy open-plan living and elegant furnishings while you spend an afternoon relaxing before cooking up some local produce and dining alfresco on the deck, nestled in the private garden. 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. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire cottage to yourself. Please make yourself at home!
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.

Great location close to the beach. Very quiet. We stayed for three weeks and had a very peaceful stay. Communication was easy. The flat was clean and tidy as described.
Jenny was a great host, provided all relevant information a couple days before arrival which was very accurate and straight forward.
The house is beautiful and in a great location.
We had a very pleasant stay.
It was a lovely family getaway. It was walking distance to so many places and our dog loved Shelly Beach. The place was clean and tidy and would recommend this to anyone looking to escape the city.
Well designed small house with a lovely garden for sitting and dining. The location is perfect for walking the Coast to Lake walk and visiting nearby beaches and cafes.
Highly recommend!! We had a beautiful stay equipped with everything we needed. Its a home away from home. Location was so convenient walking distance to beach and local cafes. Perfect for our fur baby secured and enough space to sit with us outside. The place was so clean and styled beautifully. Loved waking up to see frangipanni's. The coffee machine was a great treat too. Communication with Jenny was easy and quick. Thank you so much xxx .will definitely book again.
We needed somewhere to stay whilst our own home was undergoing renovations. It was perfectly accessible for us. The cottage is very pretty and comfortable. The area is lovely and there were many options for eating out. We were never stuck for parking. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Great place & very cleanly presented & close to restaurants shops & beaches the only downside was the lounge! Very uncomfortable but apart from that excellent getaway
Lovely part of the world in a house that has all you need
A really clean and delightful little house that felt roomy. Near beaches for humans and out dogs - lovely shops and generally a good spot. The house has everything you need and was very clean and allowed without much fuss dogs. We got a warning the day before that AusGrid would be doing work and there would a power outage so we appreciate the honesty and communication.
We stayed at this property for the annual Toowoon Bay ocean swim and it was a great spot due to the location being walking distance to the beach. Self contained so it was easy to make meals with even some provision of basic long life goods (tinned foods/spices) which we didn’t use but great to be on offer. The house is small but just what is required, 2 bedrooms, a small kitchen, bathroom with laundry facilities, dining and lounge with an outdoor seating area. It was very clean and modern, felt great to return after spending hours on the sand at the beach. Contact with the host was easy after receiving the initial message a day prior to checkin. Would recommend.
The water pressure was very slow, therefore there was ‘pipe hammer’ in the second bedroom when the toilet was filling up
