Lilly Pilly Arthouse is a wonderful escape for six people wanting to make the most of this stunning coastal area while still enjoying modern conveniences and relaxed comfort. Relax in the sofas on the front verandah with distant views and feel totally at peace - you may even experience a visit from some of the stunning local birdlife!

With the local café just up the road making great coffee and only a 250m walk down to the beach with child-friendly lagoon, children’s playground with picnic area and The Pantry café and restaurant, the location of Lilly Pilly Arthouse is sure to please the whole family.

With the charm of a hidden coastal village oasis and set on what is arguably the most beautiful stretch of coastline, there is a sense of peacefulness which will make your stay memorable. Take pleasure in sitting on the verandah and watch the daring hang-gliders and their colourful sheets launching from ‘Bald Hill’ headland reserve and coming to rest on the beach (maybe even book a tandem hang glide for yourself!) A little further down the coast you can take in the spectacular Grand Pacific Drive and Sea Cliff Bridge and stop off at the ever-popular Scarborough Hotel. For those wanting to be more active you can cycle/walk the dedicated cycling and walking path winding from Stanwell Park around the coast all the way to Wollongong or head to Cawleys Trail for a bit of mountain biking! If you are a surfer you will ‘love’ surfing at Stanwell Park Beach – there really is something for everyone.

Beautiful house in beautiful town

Really enjoyed our stay, great spot for swimming at the beach, lovely large pool in backyard, plenty of wildlife, fishing, walks, cafes. Our dog loved it too and there was a safe fenced yard for him when we went out. Timed on leash dog walking at the beach before 9am and after 6pm. Otherwise the walking was a bit steep and hilly for my elderly husky. Kids had a great time snorkelling and swimming at the beach. House had everything we needed (including for BBQing and shopping bags), beds were very comfortable.

Beautifully renovated old home.

This is a gorgeous property with a big, secure backyard. The huge verandah, the back deck, the huge swimming pool, the lovely garden all contributed to our wonderful stay.Inside, the quirky pieces of furniture, the beautiful artworks (created by the owner), the unusual layout, made for interesting family discussions.The beach is just at the bottom of the street. On the way, is an excellent kiosk surrounded by a meticulously maintained park and children's playground.At the top of the street is a collection of interesting cafes, a very good Thai restaurant and a bottle shop....what more could anyone want?

Well appointed house with comfort and character. The pool was sparklingly refreshing and the beach a short walk down the road. The back verandah was perfect for watching the local wildlife. Great location in a beautiful part of the world. What else do you need to relax and recharge?

Christmas staycation

After cancellation from our original booking, we were left looking for an extremely last minute Christmas staycation. We found this house and were delighted with our stay! Staff could not have been more helpful in arranging our stay, and the house was quirky, beautiful, homely, spacious close to beach (not that it was needed with the great pool!) and very well-equipped! Perfect for our stay.
