Lilly Pilly Arthouse is a wonderful escape for six people wanting to make the most of this stunning coastal area while still enjoying modern conveniences and relaxed comfort. Relax in the sofas on the front verandah with distant views and feel totally at peace - you may even experience a visit from some of the stunning local birdlife!
With the local café just up the road making great coffee and only a 250m walk down to the beach with child-friendly lagoon, children’s playground with picnic area and The Pantry café and restaurant, the location of Lilly Pilly Arthouse is sure to please the whole family.
With the charm of a hidden coastal village oasis and set on what is arguably the most beautiful stretch of coastline, there is a sense of peacefulness which will make your stay memorable. Take pleasure in sitting on the verandah and watch the daring hang-gliders and their colourful sheets launching from ‘Bald Hill’ headland reserve and coming to rest on the beach (maybe even book a tandem hang glide for yourself!) A little further down the coast you can take in the spectacular Grand Pacific Drive and Sea Cliff Bridge and stop off at the ever-popular Scarborough Hotel. For those wanting to be more active you can cycle/walk the dedicated cycling and walking path winding from Stanwell Park around the coast all the way to Wollongong or head to Cawleys Trail for a bit of mountain biking! If you are a surfer you will ‘love’ surfing at Stanwell Park Beach – there really is something for everyone.

Notes
Privacy: This property is a holiday rental, it is not a principal place of residence and there are no shared rooms. Enjoy your time in comfort and privacy.
Terms and Conditions: Detailed terms and conditions apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the terms and conditions with your other guests.
Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.
Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.
Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.
No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.
EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.
Long Stay Discounts: Some of our properties are well suited to longer stays. For bookings of 30 nights or more, we may be able to offer a reduced rate compared to what’s advertised. Please feel free to get in touch with our team with your preferred dates, and we’ll be happy to look at the best available rate for you.
Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.
For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/manager’s discretion.
Peace of Mind: For your added security we will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held by us and not disbursed until after your departure.
