Illaroo House · Heated pool · Pets · Sleeps 10
Heated pool, so the swimming season here runs a lot longer than you would expect. Four bedrooms, sleeps 10, and two dogs are welcome. There is a big garden with a kids slide and a fire pit, a north facing front deck that gets the morning sun, and a bay window looking straight at the mountains. Short walk to Shoal Bay, Box and Wreck Beaches. If there is something that would make your stay easier, just ask. We are usually able to sort it. Illaroo sits on a big corner block, which is the whole point of it. Four bedrooms sleeping 10, with a rumpus the kids tend to claim within about four minutes of arriving. The bay window in the front room looks across at the mountains and is the best seat in the house early on. The front deck faces north, so it holds the sun all morning. Out the back there is the heated pool, a fire pit, and a lawn big enough for a proper game, with a slide for the little ones.
Shoal Bay, Box and Wreck Beaches are all walkable, and the bay itself is shallow and calm on a still morning, which makes it easy with small kids. Fingal Bay and Bagnalls are a short drive. Birubi is worth the trip for the sand dunes, and the kids will remember the sandboarding. Oakvale Wildlife Park is a good rainy day option. Tomaree Head is the walk everyone does, and older kids manage it fine.
