I am glad you like the property but unfortunately you know we were far from happy with how you and guests treated the property. Very disappointing to say the least.
The house was lovely, quite spacious for a townhouse, backed onto the beach. Process was easy.

Hi Karen. Illawarra Holiday Accommodation agree, Shellharbour Waves is a lovely property with amazing views. We hope you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again.
We stayed for 4 nights in this spacious home. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans. The host resolved the lack of laundry soap immediately, delivering a bundle of detergents and cleaners within an hour of us reporting it... amazing.
The house is beautiful. Big enough to fit 2 families comfortably. Had everything we needed. Kids especially enjoyed the direct access to the beach and all the toys and board games in the house. Booking process and communicating with the agent was great. Thanks for an awesome stay.

Thanks for you fantastic review Marcelle.
You left property in great condition. You are very welcome to come back at any time and enjoy this beautiful property. Deb
Beautiful location. Had a wonderful weekend away with my family celebrating my birthday. Spectacular views of the ocean. Great to spot the sunrise. Kids had lot of fun playing outdoors on their scooter while also enjoying the great selection of board games at the property. Deb is an excellent host, very easy to get hold off with clear instructions. Would love to come back
We couldn’t stop saying “wow” every time we looked at the view. Was the perfect spot for a weekend away! Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Would book again in a heartbeat.
My one small request would be to maybe have access to kayaks or similar at the property.

I have passed on your comments re kayaks to owners.

We had a great stay, the town house was very spacious, clean and organised. Very close to the beach. The Property manger was very nice and helpful. Truly deserves a 5/5 rental rating. Thank you

Wow !! Thank you Diane for the fantastic review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Shellharbour Waves and we would love to have you back any time.
Perfect house for our annual girls long weekend away. Was very spacious and clean with great amenities, kitchen supplies, plus a nice little welcome gift. Beds were comfortable with good quality sheets and towels. Had everything we needed. Loved the beautiful beach and sunrise view, and being able to walk out the back door onto the beach. Host was very helpful and professional. We'll definitely be back thanks.
Beautifully decorated property that comfortably accommodated our large adult family. I basically spent three days staring at the rolling waves on our doorstep. We were close to restuarants, shops etc, but you couldn't of found a better spot to eat than the upstairs balcony. The kitchen had everything you needed, there were cushions and blankets galore to make your stay comfortable, we could not have asked for more.
The only downfall was the construction going on in front of the property (I know can't be helped by the property but otherwise a 5⭐️ ).
Also a mirror in the front downstairs bedroom & hanging space in that room would be a great addition.

Hi Deborah. I am glad enjoyed your stay at Shellharbour Waves. The sea wall will be amazing and is near completion. The owners have taken your suggestion on board and now have purchased a wardrobe with a mirror. We would love to have the opportunity to host you again in the future 1
Thank you, we had a lovely stay. We are 5 primary school friends who meet up each year for a 3 night get together, we are now 70 years old & this is our 24th year. Shellharbour Waves had everything to make our stay wonderful. Beautiful clean house, comfortable beds & pillows, great location (couldn't get any closer to the beach!) Loved that we could open back gate & go for a walk along the public footpath. We had lots of laughs playing your Charades & Trivia games. Just loved it!
