Framing spectacular ocean views, this apartment boasts a sought-after beachside locale and an unforgettable seaside escape. Sliding doors open from the living area to the balcony, capturing cool coastal breezes and the sound of lapping waves. Start your days with coffee on the balcony or find a favourite local café right downstairs. Make use of the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, fitted with high-quality appliances and cooking utensils. There’s a dining table, set against a backdrop of blues, and an oversized lounge to get cosy in the evening in front of the TV. The primary bedroom is a sumptuous space to rest your head. It comes with a king-sized bed, a private balcony with a seating area and a neat ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is located downstairs and comes with a plush queen-sized bed, while the third bedroom offers two single beds (perfect for those travelling with kids). Refresh in the main bathroom – choosing from a bathtub and shower and enjoying complimentary toiletries provided for your stay. You’ll also find an internal laundry room with both a washing machine and a dryer. Parking is available in both the garage and the driveway.

The idyllic coastal neighbourhood of Austinmer lies roughly 20 minutes north of Wollongong and 90 minutes south of Sydney. Drive here via the photogenic Sea Cliff Bridge, which juts out over the water and has become an icon of the Grand Pacific Drive. Stop for lunch at The Scarborough Hotel, taking in spectacular views across the sea. Hit the waves at Austinmer Beach and discover the trendy cafes and fashion boutiques of neighbouring Thirroul. If you’re travelling with the kids, don’t miss a day out at Symbio Wildlife Park or Jamberoo Action Park, both close by.
