About this property

Arriba Beachfront Cottage

Arriba is a single story beachfront home located just 1 hour drive south of Sydney in Thirroul - the friendly village.

Ideally located right at Thirroul beach, Arriba guests walk just 50 level metres over lawn (no roads to cross) to step onto the fine golden sand of this beautiful surf beach.

Completely renovated in 2011 and fastidiously maintained, Arriba offers 1st class accommodation for up to 10 guests in 4 bedrooms. Nestled in the quietest cul-de-sac with no passing traffic (only 1 other house in the street) guests relax on the massive timber decks, play footy and cricket in the kid-friendly back yard, take breakfast (and lunch and dinner) alfresco if they wish while marvelling at the sparkling ocean and dramatic escarpment views.

Its easy level walking to the fabulous new Thirroul Playground next to the sea water Olympic pool (yep – there’s also a toddler pool) and nearby coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques.
Or stoll in the opposite direction to spectacular award winning Austinmer Beach with its inviting rock swimming pools and more coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques.

So, after you’ve been surfing or swimming, golfing or shopping, cycling or hiking or you’ve read a book, watched a movie, had a siesta, played some cards, taken dinner and a glass or two of your favourite beverage, Arriba’s super-comfy beds are there for you - the perfect end to the perfect day.

Pets permitted upon application only.

Arriba - the Original 1950’s beach house….. by far the best choice in Holiday Accommodation.....

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Baker

Host profile image
I am a professional host who enjoys hosting guests and has been involved in the local holiday rental industry for nearly 30 years.
I enjoy interacting with guests and like to assist them with finding the right property to suit there requirements so they can sit back relax and enjoy their holiday.

Why they chose this property

I was raised and have lived locally in the Northern Illawarra all my life.
I love the area because of the proximity of the escarpment to the sea and how the holiday homes I proudly manage are amid both the coastline and bush.
Living in this area we are spoilt with spectacular views and wonderful scenic drives, beaches to surf and play in and an escarpment to explore and I love to share this with visitors to our region.

What makes this property unique

Arriba is located in the perfect beachfront position, nestled in a cul-de-sac with the beach directly across the road.
Arriba has a large back yard for backyard soccer and cricket and has front and side decks to enjoy a meal outside with the family.
It has four large bedrooms and views of the surf from both dining and lounge rooms, this is truly a family favourite holiday home!
