Step into a beachside apartment on the Esplanade, originally built as two separate apartments and now thoughtfully combined into one spacious home. Unwind across two spacious living zones, each curated for comfort and connection. Stretch out on soft lounges, stream your favourite show, or enjoy the natural light pouring through wide windows. Settle into the dedicated workspace to read, write, or catch up on emails. Cook up a storm in the fully renovated kitchen, equipped with an oven, dishwasher, microwave and a coffee machine. Gather at the large dining table and share a feast with family or friends while admiring the park views just beyond the glass. For a laid-back afternoon, step on one of two private balconies, each furnished with alfresco seating, perfect for soaking in the morning sun or unwinding with a glass of wine as the sea breeze rolls in. Drift off to sleep in one of three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with ample storage, ceiling fans and blackout blinds for a restful sleep. Sink into one of two queen-sized bedrooms, or settle little ones or friends into the third room with two king-single beds. Refresh in either of the two modern bathrooms, each featuring walk-in rain showers, elegant vanities and premium finishes. Keep things fresh with a private washer in the laundry room. Stay comfortable year-round with split-system air conditioning and heating in the living areas and ceiling fans throughout. Park with ease using free street parking nearby. Please note that the fourth bedroom and the second kitchen are locked and not accessible to guests.

The trendy seaside suburb of Thirroul lies roughly 15 minutes north of Wollongong and just over an hour 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 Thirroul Beach before brunch at one of the neighbourhood’s popular cafes, such as Blackbird, Wilde or South Sailor. If you’re travelling with the kids, don’t miss a day out at Symbio Wildlife Park or Jamberoo Action Park, both close by.
