Coalface is special as you feel miles from anywhere but it's just minutes away from surfing beaches, ocean pools, bush-walks, good coffee and food. When you are here you could be a million miles away, with none of the inconvenience of distance.

On the property itself, there are 7 acres of land for the adventurous to explore.The vegetation ranges from Eucalyptus to Rain-forest, with iconic Red Cedars, Sandpaper Figs and towering Turpentines. If you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of Lyre Birds, Wallabies and a vast amount of bird life, from tiny Blue Wrens to the matronly Wonga Pigeon as it waddles around foraging on the forest floor before reluctantly getting airborne.

This means that convenience and comfort is built-in with parking right at the door, a private outdoor terrace separated from the family home by a brick courtyard wall, a hot &cold outdoor shower and bath, solely for guest use, a large indoor bath with views, a kitchenette and a separate entrance. You have a small orchard to wander and relax in and at night you can settle round the sandstone fireplace and enjoy an open fire under the stars.

The large bath comfortably overlooks garden and ocean views -lovely at dusk as the sky turns pink.... There is a large stacker sliding door opening from your room onto a sandstone terrace separated from the family home and garden by a brick courtyard wall.

If you love camping and love the bush, but want comfort as well (without the colourbond fence!)
- The shack is for you!

The Bower Bird Shack is a cosy apartment built from new and recycled materials and with an ecologically sound waterless toilet. It is nestled in the bush near the popular Sharkey's and Coledale Beaches. It is up and away from the blustery nor-easters that come through in a cool, bush setting. So relaxing and private, yet close to shops, restaurants, clubs, cafes and of course, beaches.

From the comfortable queen bed, you may see, if you are quiet enough, a Bower Bird hopping about its business in the green foliage. There is also single bunk beds in the generous sized family bedroom and a sofa bed in the sitting area.

The Bower Bird Shack is a hidden treasure. It has the comforts of a queen size bed with a top quality latex mattress. The family bedroom is separated from the rest of the apartment with a door, it has 1 queen and a set of single bunk beds in the bedroom with fantastic views out the large bedroom windows into the natural bush garden.

A fully equipped kitchen (quaint early 80's style in great shape) with stove top, oven and grill. The kitchen and lounge are one cosy space, with a raised bench to enjoy a coffee and the peaceful bush.

The bathroom is equipped with a separate shower with a large rain shower head and separate bath. A unique feature of the shack is its ecologically sound waterless toilet. This is a state of the art Canadian designed composting toilet system certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 41.

You will find, however, that you want to spend most of your time outdoors. The outdoor area has a dining table under the trees and is pleasantly private.

If you love the relaxed atmosphere of camping, but want a comfortable bed - This is for you! Bring your own linens to take advantage of our low advertised rate, or ask us to supply them for $25 per person per stay.

Enjoy privacy, bush and why not have a campfire at night!

There is a barbecue with outside lighting

PETS are welcome at The Bower Bird Shack

Please Note, The property is NOT FENCED. Therefore, all pets are required to be on a lead or controlled at all times when on the property. For many pets, this is o.k. as we have a long lead available, and they are happily tired after great big runs on the local leash-free Sharkey's Beach. Pet-sitting is available by arrangement when suitable, however, pets are not to be left in accommodation unsupervised.

CHILDREN are also welcomed at The Bower Bird Shack.
Please Note, however: The property is NOT FENCED. There are potential hazards for unsupervised children as you would expect in a bush setting adjacent to a furniture workshop and with creek nearby. The bower bird shack is nestled into the Illawarra escarpment with fantastic bird life, water dragons and you may hear the resident wallaby thump past at night or dawn
Please note: there is NO TV RECEPTION at the shack. We supply a television and DVD player, with a selection of DVDs, novels and magazines

- "A comfortable, quiet stay with a few little extras. Thanks" - "My Pup and I had the most lovely stay here in Coledale at the Bowerbird Shack. We loved it so much we extended our stay and will return here often. The dog beach is literally down the hill, and the accommodation is fully self contained and very comfortable. After a long day running along the beach, we were both so happy to return to the Shack for dinner, a wine, and relax. Brad and Carol made us feel totally welcome and secure here. Their property has excellent reviews for good reason. We are in awe of the beauty of the area and we feel so incredibly lucky to find this place where my dog's welfare is taken into consideration. Its a very dog friendly area all round. Thank you for having us and I hope you don't mind if we return here many times in the future, and tell our friends that this beautiful place exists. L & T xx"

- "We enjoyed our two night stay. Unit was well equipped and comfortable. Great location." - "Being a short walk from the beach gave a wonderful option for something to do every afternoon. Stayed for a 40th birthday celebration but glad we booked in for longer. Specially appreciated extra power adapters and some of the toiletries." - "We absolutely loved our stay! Easiest check in ever, extremely clean block of apartments. Such a short walk to the beach and a seafood restaurant right around the cover. Everything was perfect - amazing lounge, washer & dryer, comfy bed and cute little balcony with nature always around. Nice stove to cook, microwave, toaster and pretty gold cutlery was a nice touch. Was perfect for our one year old too, not too much for her to get into. Thanks so much! We will be back 😊"

- "Great location to the Beach , Clean ,spacious , quite and relaxing highly recommended" - "Perfect location and setting" - "Spent the weekend here with family - 2yo, dog, and my parents! Really well equipped house+kitchen, fully fenced in yard for the dog, and very close to multiple beaches. 5 mins to 24h dog beach at Macauleys beach. Neil the host was very quick to communicate and sorted out an extra towel for our kid. Comfortable mattresses. Only minor niggle - the road its on is a bit of a thoroughfare to Bulli beach, so you get a bit of road noise throughout the night. It didn't bother me but my wife is a light sleeper. Pack earplugs if you're like her. We'd happily return and stay at the same place again!"

WHY WANGANELLA
There is a porthole from the MS Wanganella in the front door of the house- hence the name for the holiday flat.
The ship was built in Belfast and used as a passenger ship between Australia and New Zealand from 1933. After World War II it was turned into a hospital ship (1941-1946) and brought back Australian POWs from Borneo in September 1945.
One of the POWs wrote of her: “the Wanganella, she rode quietly at anchor unperturbed by wind or tide…..”
